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.

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 C.O.F.

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. a.� EUCHRE in I.O.O.F.
