FOR ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS, ADDITION • Seaforth couneil approved the re- quests of the Collegiate • Iestitute Board and the Public Scheel Board for money with whitfh to repair, alter and add to thetas school buildings. The council instructed town solicitor H. G. Meir to prepare by-laws coyer- ing debentures of $30,4)00 in the case of theollegiate, and $5,000 for the Public School, The meeting, which was held Tues day eventing, was presided over by Mayor John J. Cluff. Couneillor Sills was the only absentee. Councillor M. A. Reid, chairman of the finance committee and secretary- • treasurer of the Collegiate Board, en- plained to council that while the board required dbentur,es sufficient. to cover the cost of the addition and equipment, •the 'annual cost to the town wetild only be a few hundred dollars. This is, made possible through Government grants on capital cost and county grants on annual expendi- ture. The addition is necessitated by new departmental regulations requir- ng couraes in household, econaaics and manual, training. Mr. John Hotham appeared before council in connection with the re- quest of his board. He explained the repairsthat were required and cer- tain alterations recemmended by the deartment. "Haire you obtained architect's spec- ifications for the work?" Councillor Reid inquired. ,"The inspector's re- port recommends this, I think." .. "We have estimates but not an architect's. We don't think it is nec- essary. It only adds to the cost," Mr. 1fotham replied. As he went on to explain that original repairs as esti- mated by Mr. Edge would cent $1,8)0, window changes $1,200, plus $300 for bricking in old wintio-Vss and steel beams to replace wooden supporting ost-% $3q0- Mreyor Cluff told counil" that he had , gone ever the work suggested.
