noted they were sympathetic to
the problems of the Calvin
Christian School Society be-
cause they do not receive a
tangible return for their dollars
invested in the way of property
taxes for support of their
schools, but they felt there
are complications which wobld
make co-operation between the
, two school systems unfeasible
`at this time.
In the matter of tran;portate
ion, the board pointed out that
the Schools Administration Act
specifically allows a board to
provide transportation "for its
resident pupils to' and from a
sschool that the board operates."
The Beard feared it was
leaving Itselfopen to criticism,
t legal gal action, by using pub-
lic funds to contravene the Stat-
utes and said the problem of
• dual jurisdiction over the con-
duct of the pupils on a bus
could present a number of
"sticky" problems.' .
Where library facilities
are concerned, the Board cal-
led attention to the fact that
library is based on an expend-
iture per student enrolled.Use
of these books by an outside
organization would reduce the
number of bOoks available to the
students in the public school.
As well, the time the li-
brary is free would be serious-
ly reduced and it was felt that
the confusion caused by eight
grades using the library facil-
ities is sufficient without com-
pounding the problem' by the
addition of eight more grades.
Space is Another problem
as .is the imposition on the
teacher in charge of the library
who would be responsible for
extra supervision 'over and
above her regular ,duties.
The problems •of super-
vision, use of equipment,liabil-
ity in 'case of accident and
timetabling of gymea.siums are
all of sufficient importance to
cause the board to doubt the
practicality of sharing these
facilities with theSociefy.
Dan Murphy, Goderich, re-
presentative for the Separate
School in the county, suggested
that the Calvin ChristianSchool
Society be advised of the rea-"
sons bellied the Board's re-
fusal to grant their 'request.
He asked that the Minister of
Education be notified of the
decision and the problem,
oPrankly, I have some
sympathy for their, recemsts,"
he stated. "They are not une,
like requests from the Sep-
arate Schools 50 years ago.
I wouldn't want to leave the
impression that we didn't con-
' sider this."
Calvin Christian Society
will be advised" in writing of
• the reasons behind the Huron
Board's decision, but the Board
will not formally forward any
information on the matter to
the office of the .Minister of
Education.

Several price quotations
were given on a new bus with
trade-in prices.
James Morris of Stratford
questioned whether the Board
should even be in the bus bus-
iness. The Board ruled it did
not have sufficient information
for the trustees to rule on what
should be done and instructed
the Bus committee to get more
offers on a new bus and to get
the cost of running a bus on
the Zurich route.
• At' Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
School it Dashwood the bus-
driver has had to travel an
extra ten miles per day to

he be paid 401 per mile for
a total of ten miles per day
retroactive to September 8.
Grants for capital expen-
ditures were discussed, es-
pecially in relation to a grant
of $73,000 for 1969 for work
on the Immaculate Conception
School in Stratford in 1988,
and for the purchase price of
$11,000: of the former Egmond-
vile public school. The arbit-
ration board must decide how
to credit these grants for 1968,
but the board will indicate to
the arbitrators that it feels
that on capital expenditures
grants should be applied to sur-
