ship at $658. •
He agreed that perhaps weeds
were not cut as early in the
year as they should be, but it
was a hie job to get at. Main-
tenance costs were high, and he
told of an instance where a
new . tire on the tractor had
been slashed as a result of
broken bottles in the ditches in
which it was working.
While it would cost slightly
more to provide a combined
program of spraying and cut-
ting, he believed perhaps this
would be the answer.
Apply Earlier
Referring to applying cal-
cium chloride, he said the net
cost to the township was $2,7Q0.
Calcium, too, should be ap-
plied earlier, but should not go
on before roads are gravelled,
and it was difficult to get gravel
on before the end of June. He
suggested that perhaps council
should consider leaving the
gravel until the fall and apply
chloride earlier in the year.
Referring to newspaper cov-
erage of council proceedings,
he said an error had occurred
in two reports which The Ex-
positor had carried. In one in-
stance, road work had been in-
dicated as extending from Lon-
desboro to No. 8 Highway, ra-
ther than from Roxboro to No.
8 Highway, and in the other
case, it was indicated that 50
per cent of a water tank in
Blyth had been underwritten by
the township. The township was
responsible for only 5 per cent
of the cost, he said.
Additional road work is plan-
ned on the road between con-
cessions 2 and 3, which will in-
volve reducing the mountain by
15 feet. About 24,000 yards of
gravel will be required. ' The
speaker suggested 'that at the
same time, sideroads at lots 21
and 31 should. be built to simi-
lar standards for the mile and
a . quarter north of No. 8 High-
way.
Councillor ' William Dennis
commented on the large at-
tendance at the meeting and
said this indicated there was
interest in the municipality,
and in the work which was be-
ing done by council. He point-
ed .out that despite the fact a
new grader and truck lad been
purchased and additionalgrav-
eling
rayeling and dust -laying work car-
ried out, the tax rate had been
reduced one mill. There might
be a small deficit at the end of
the year.:' '
Road Work included the con-
struction of the Cronin culvert,
a 49 -foot span, ata total cost
on the fact that the majority of $4,535. Preliminary work was
of Bayfield's 500 voters are underway' for the Morrison cul-
summertime resident. vert, which would be a 45 -foot
span, at an e§timated cost of
$30,000.
Receives Co-operation
He . reviewed activity at the
new Seaforth Community ,Hos-
pital. He represented the town-
ship on the board and said the
project was about 40 per cent
completed. He said there was
interest in the present hospital
building, and that it was ex-
pected •that it would be sold.
Referring to the plowing match,
he said there was wonderful co-
operation among those on whose
farms the match would be held.
Councillor Harold Dodds re-
viewed road work carried out
during the year and said that
15,126 yards of gravel hat been
applied to township roads at a
total cost of $10,852. In addi-
tion to this, stone had been pur-
chased from ,pits owned by Leo
Arts, Stanley Hillen and Jack
McLlwain, at a cost of $1,210.
Councillor Ralph McNichol
described the work which had
been done' on the Stevens'
bridge, a 52 -foot span, at 1ot 26,
concessions 10 and 11. Total
cb'st of the structure was $6,819.
Stewart Dolmege, who had
been nominated for council,
was not present - when called
on to speak.
. Trustee Nominees Speak
The school trustees who had
been nominated each spoke
briefly. Murray Dennis said that
he expected to qualify and had
two years as a member of No. 9
Board. While it was hard to
say what would be involved un-
der the new arrangement, he
was very interested in proper
educational standardsbeing
maintained.
George Rock told the meeting
he was proud to know that the
people in his area had confi-
dence in his ability to repre-
sent them, and that he would
qualify and do the best he
could under the new arrange-
ment.
Walter McClure also agreed
that it was hard to say what
would be involved in a town-
ship board, but suggested that
within , five years the depart-
ment 'would insist that a cen-
tral school be provided. `
Arthur Bolton said the whole
concept* was new and that the
board that was elected would
have to take stock of what was
available and then it would be
up to the board to make plans
and decisions: He agreed there
would be criticism, but express-
ed the hope the board also
would be told of decisions that
were taken and that were found
to be correct He said too of-
ten the criticism only had' to
do with what displeases people.
Wilfred Drager said that he
had experience and that he
would stand.

went on to add that he had
great respect for the little' Red
Schoolhouse. A good teacher
means more than a lot of ac-
commodation and new school
building, he said.
Mr. McMillan pointed out that
statistics proved that pupils or-
iginating in the rural schools
are better able to stand on their
feet when they reached secon-
dary schools than were pupils
from urban centres." He men-
tioned several students who had
distinguished themselves at
.SDHS.
Quoting the experience of the
Tuckersmith School Area where
he said the cost per pupil was
$246 a year, as compared to a
cost in SS 2, McKillop, of $215
per year, he said that the town-
ship could not look forward to
decreased costs by going into
a school area.
Campbell Wey expected that
he would stand. He was sorry
only that each of the school sec-
tions could not be represented
on the township board.
John Henderson pointed out
that in the present school sys-
tem 175 to 200 pupils, have
been educated in the township
at a cost of less than 10 mills
during the past five years. This
was not so where there are
school areas. In the SDHS area
the rate had risen from 7.2
mills in 1959, to 17 mills in
1964. He told the meeting he
felt that the township should
go along with what it now had
as long as it was economical
to do so.
Harold Pryce said that he
expected to run andpointed
out he had been _active in No.
10 Section.'
111 Pupils At SDHS
Reporting for the SDHS board
on which he was the McKillop
representative, Harvey Craig
said that of the 111 McKillop
pupils attending SDHS, 31' go
on to Clinton. Bus costs to
Seaforth are $122 per pupil,
with'aniadditional $66 each per
annum for those going to Clin-
ton.
He said there appeared to be
more information available con-
cerning Clinton than there was
about Seaforth. Clinton had
projected the anticipated school
population in. 1970, which show-
ed an increase of 10 in McKil-
lop.
No longer will representatives
of SDHS visit parents of poten-
tial Grade 9 students at terms
end. In future, the principal will
be available at the school dur-
ing the first two weeks of July,
he said.
Bring Greetings
•
'Reeve Cliff Dunbar, of Grey,
.and' Reeve ' Glenn Webb, of
Stephen, who are campaigning
for the wardenship of Huron,
were at the meeting a n d
brought greetings from their
townships.
Deputy, Reeve Carl Dalton, of
Seaforth, referred to the -co-,
operation that existed between
the two neighboring municipali-
ties. He noted the changes oc-
curring in rural areas,' particu-
larly in the increasing values
of farm lands and wondered
what effect this -would have on
assessment and taxes.
Councillor Walter Shortreed,
of Morris Township, referred to
problems' in determining on a
suitable centennial project and
suggested• there, could be ad-
vantages- Yin area municipalities
co-operating in a central pro-
ject.
