particular area it would not
necessarily follow that this
would be granted. .
Council Sillery referred to
the difficulties there would be
in 'obtaining an arhitrator who
would be fair to all sides. Un-
der the circumstances, he sug-
gested it perhaps would be bet-
ter to leave the decision to the
county.
Should Act Now
Councillor Cleave Coombi felt
some action should be taken as
quickly as possible so as to
-slow down," lie said, the ac-
tion of the Tuckersmith-Stanley
school board in rushing plans
for the large' school at Kip --
pen.
"Why slow it down?" Coun-
cillor McGregor asked; "we
haven't been shown that it. can
be done- any cheaper in any
other way."
"Are you going to base all
your thinking on .cheapness?"
Councillor. Forrest asked him,
and Mr. McGregor said not nec-
essarily, but •pointed out that
delays cost mohey.
Councillor Forrest said' that
no school board member or
councillor could convince him
that they ' are working in the
interests of the children when
they take them 10 to 15 miles
to a school when they could
provide them- with schooling
•w•ith.in-a mile or so from home.
Emphasizing that he was tir-
ed of the whole' thing, Reeve
Thompson said that he was not
in favor of taking it out of the
school board's hands.
Pressing council on what he
described as its inconsistent ap-
proach, Councillor Forrest re-
viewed again the action that
had been taken in February -of
last year in connection with the
school board's request J,'e ,re-,
called also that council, with-
out reference to the school
board. had gone directly to In-
spector Kincaid and had made
arrangement to visit the Cert.
tral School in Howick.
Discussion of the school prob-
lems was not reached on the
agenda until after' six o'clock,
as .council, struggled to recon-
cile differences of opinion in
connection with a drain report:,
It was after 7 o'clock before•
the six -hour meeting adjourn-
ed.
Grant To F of A
A dplegatibn including John
Broad opt 'and John McKay, re-
presenting the Township Fed-
eration of Agricultpre, asked
for the usual grant of $750.
Councillors discussed the ad-
vantages of a broader member-
ship 'base :-as opposed to a flat
grant from the township, but
Mr. Broadfoot recalled this had
been tried and ..there had been
a problem in carrying on a
campaign at the grass roots in
the early days of the organiza-
tion. It meant- that F of A of-
ficials were spending much of
their time soliciting member-
ships, and had time to do lit-
tle else for the organization.

rest that all ratepayers in Tuck -

therefore not directly involved
in the organization, Mr. Broad -
foot said at the same time the

the welfare of everybody in the
township.
Council read the Finlayson
drain report, prepared by En-
gineer E. H. Uderstad, covering
works in lots 18 to 21, conces-
sions 3 and 4, LRS, and set a
court of revision for April 5th.
Adjourn Drain Hearing
• Problems arose following the.
reading of the McCully drain
report when those in the area
suggested there would not File
advantages from the 'work in
keeping with the cost. Discuss-
ing the matter with council and
the engineer, A. Timmerman,
John Sinclair and Charles Eyre
recalled action that had been
taken in connection with the
drain since it . was first con-
structed in 1928.
Certain work had been car-
ried out in 1946 and a proposed
scheme in 1954 had been aban-
doned after some repairs were
completed. Mr. Uderstad, follow-
ing an hour and a half discus-
sion, agreed the matter could
be adjourned until the next
meeting of council and in the
meantime he would have a fur-
ther look at certain of. the lev-
els which it had been suggest.
ed did not properly reflect the
actual situation.
Council enddrsed a resolu-
tion' protesting a proposal of
the CNR to abandon passenger
service between Stratford and
Goderich and discussed with
Andrew Crozier charges cover-
ing the provision of a deed for
a street in Harpurhey which
had been closed at his 'request.
A grant• of $100 was`"`approv-
ed for the . Hurdn Agricultural
Society.
Reporting in connection with
the search for .farms which had
been in a particular family for
100 years, council was told as
far as it was known, there were
15. such farms in Tuckersmith,
and 136 in the county.
The Department of Highways
approved a total road expendi-
ture of $63,484. Council took•
note of a course designed for
assessors so that they could be-
come fully licensed. There .are
three 'assessors in Huron in this
category.
Delay in completing the plans
for the Broadfoot drain led to

instructions being given Clerk
J. I. McIntosh to advise the en-
gineer that it was imperative
that the report be received by
the next meeting of council.
Council reappointed Charles
Eyre as weed inspector. Dis-
cussion revealed Tuckersmith
was possibly the only township
in the county in which a° weed
inspector was appointed. In
other townships the county in-
spector, who is located in Tuck-
ersmith, carries out the respon-
sibility.
"In" deciding to make the ap'-
pointment, councillors recalled
on previous occasions when
the matter had been investigat-
ed, it had been found the rela-
tively small • cost involved was
justified as a result of a clean-
up carried out in Egmondville,
Herpurhey and in school yards.
