Ten- ders for the projectare being ,called and will be opened. Sept. ;18th. Completion date was set 1,for llov. 30th. Council. approved • grants to the East Huron ,Agricultural So- ciety, $40; Seaforth Agricultur- al Society, $225; and Huron Plowmen, $25. A claim for 74 l/4 month old poultry, owned by Walter McClure, and killed, was 'cleared. Payment is ar80% of $1.80, and • amounted to $105,12. , A ' • ' tended an information ineeting called by the SDHS Board, when the construction program was discussed with area coun- cils. The request foy-township ap- proval precipitated a general discussion of the basis.un which educational costs were assessed. Members' pointed out that , in relation to the number of pupils originating in the• rural areas, the present system of distribut- ing costs Created a hardship for the, rural districts, 'Councillor Ross Forrest -said. Tuckersmith has 79 pupils attending SDHS, and pays a ,higher- portion of the costs than doe i Seaforth, with 100 pupils. He wondered whether the rural people had taken the proper steps in em- phasizing this distinction and in attempting to have changes made in the legislation. Clerk J. I.--Mcintosh said the cost is nroportioned on the basis of the assessment of each, of the participating municipalities. This basis has been determined by thti4 Provincial Legislature, and is not something that is worked out between the munici- palities involved. Council did not accept a svg- gestion that approval 'be grant- ed under protest, but agreed rather that a resolution asking for a change in the method of assessment should be prepared for submission to the proper authorities. Review New School Plan ' Continuing the discussion as it concerned secondary schools,, council inquired whether it was definite the township, would haye only two representatives on the joint Tuckersnaith-Stan- ley School Board as of the be- ginning of next year. If w • explained the inspector would indicate, what the -Situation was in time for nominations. Asked concerning progress being made in the proposed school to serve both townships, Reeve Thompson said he imder- stood that the Municipal Board or Department had given a go- ahead, but that If Bayfield wish- ed to retain a tvo-roc,rri school, approval for that would be giv- en, providing the school board agreed. Inquiring what the position of Tuckersmith would be in the event Bayfield continued to op- erate, Councilldr Forrest said he had been told that the chair- man of the Tuekersmith board had indicated in that event he would work to get Tuckersmith out of ,the present arrange- ment. "If, Bayfield got out, then probably Egmondville and Har- purhey would also want to get out," Councillor Irwin Sillery Sugge ting that if that...hap- pened the ratepayers would be faced with a big assessment, Reeve Thompson said that as far as he knew the Stanley Board had made no decision. 'Comes Before Council Questioning whether council should. take a stand on the school situation, Councillor For- rest recalled a decision had been taken last February, but he asked whether council should stay with that stand today, in view of changes. If all the facts were present- ed to the public as they were to us, I don't think the would come up with any different con- clusion, Councillor Sillery said. We were led to believe that dth a combined school there e. • e • • weiad Jai a rate. but, At -9th PT 4174P meats were luede, then be, could be ply mills. ,pvire,:.'4',1.0)r just a sinestien of wilefb*,j convenzenee worthtietbne 10 niilis, he said, ' Expressing doubt gig atP could be held to a 13 milkiluna it, Councillor -Forrest said ea perience indicated it would; be much higher than this. He would prefer to see council tak- ing no positive action .until an Opportunity had been given to. face the ratepa'Yers. The ma. jority should have the say, be said. • "On the other hand," Coun- cillor Sillery pointed out, "we were appoirted to take a stand. It would be a different thing If the school board he'd passed the question back to us." He agreed that under the proposed ar- rangement additional trantpor- tation costs were involved and • said it was too bad there was not an equalization df assr4Se- ment as between urban, 'an& rural ratepayers, Reeve ThempEon assured' council that no action woukli be taken until a meeting bad been held. It will before coun- cil again, he said, and we don't have to make a decision to- night. Set Election Dates Council approved the bjrlaw setting out the dates for nom- ination -and election and ap- pointing oftals. Members ,greed that, there shouldn't be any difficulty in arousing interest in the -muni- cipal elections this year, recall- • ing the discussion•on the school questions. , • Approval was given to pay- ment of an account: forvII0.00 rendered by George and John - Turner, Covering labor involved in erecting a fence around a mudhole in the Rehorst Drain. Abotit ,300 feef Ieneing 'was involved, and no charge was made for materials. Reeve •Therribsorr-sakl a cat- tle beast had become bogged down in the mudhole and this had prompted the requirement for a fence. .Continuing discussions of drain matters, council consid- ered reports V from Engineer Henry Uderstadt in connection With the McCulley, Finlayson and Carno.chan Drain. ' S. W,, Archibald, who was - actin in connection with the Broadfoot Drain, had indicated to Reeve Thompson he would be present at the meeting to discuss several drain problems, but was not able to appear. Council agreed „ that while, there might be an advantage in bringing tile and culverts sal- vaged from 'drain works to a central point where they could a offered for sale, the cost might welI be more than what -was receiyed. Council went 'into -court of revision on the Lawrence Drain , but there being no appeals, gave the final, reading 'to the bylaw, ' Reeve Thompson reported discussions .which he and Coun- cillor Sillery had, had concern- ing weeds in Harpurhey and al- so on complaint of weeds on a lot near. Clinton, Study Drain Work Referring to an earlier meet- ing when council had met resi- dents in Hwurhey in connec- tiore*ith drain problems there, council agreed work should be commenced to correct the situa- tion "If we are going to do any- thing it should he done proper- ly so it will handle the water for some years," Councillor For - 1 rest comrpented. and Reeve Thompson agreed. "We told them we would 'make it right, and we should` gerit looked in to." he said. Council reviewed the possibility of carrying out coNtrection of a culvert at the Oldfield property' concession 2, FIRS: Plans being prepared by Encineer B. M. Ross Were- ex- pe-ted,Phortly.
