The Huron County Board .of
Education learned Wednesday
that it may be,,,eh.eaper •for the
county schools'' to use board
r owned buses for field trips than it
• . is to hire a bus contractor to do
the driving. The board received a
report on ' pilot project at
• Goderich v District Collegiate.
, -Institute. using a. board owned
surPlus bus for field trips rather
than' the services of a bus
' _contractor_
The project , was instituted
when the board 'purchased new
buses for use in the county. When
the, new vehicles were purchased
some board members felt that the
board niay saes money by
c.-„,„,,,,keeping the old buses for backup
use rather than selling them. The
board decided to keep one of the'
vehicles- and leave it' 'at G,D.C.1.
to be used by it and any other
school wishing to use it The bus
was to be driven by :cachet with
proper diving permits and was to
be maintained by the board.
Lynn' Meyers, head of the
. physical education deertmentat
the Goderich sch,661, told the
board in a letter that in the two
month trial period $454 had been
saved.: Meyers- said the bus had
been driven 1,25§ntiles at a •coSt
of $735.94: He • said the cost
included. insurance premiums,
metntenanee-and -safety- inspec-
tions. The same trips by a bus
'contractor would have cost the
board $1,189.30.
Meyers said the bus had been
an assest to the Students at
G.D.C.I, and had' been used by
Robertson Memorial Public .
School in Goderich and Exeter
• Public School, The board made no
decision regarding future use of

The, Huron County Board of
EducatiOn adopted a wait and,see
attitude Wednesday when Dr.
Brian Lynch, medical officer, of
health for Huron, suggested that
the board install an electrical
sewage pump in the sewage
system' at Blyth Publit School to
prevent sewage overflow. The
boatel was asked by Lynch to
adopt. the pump system and to
send a letter of "assurance to the
health unit saying, the board will
comply and co-operate in the
matter.
The sewage problem was
discovered several years ago
when a stream of raw sewage
flowed across the school play,
ground because the school's
sewage system was flooded.
. • Ground elevatiOns combined with
a high water table in the spring of
''the. year make it impossible for
the system to carry the sewage'
away -and it oyerflows onto the
playground.
The proposal by the health unit
enables the school system, to 'be
used if a pumping system is
established so that when the
water-table level comes within
three feet of the sewage tile the
pump can be shut off until • the
water level recedes. Along with
the pump the health unit
requested that a responsible
Ile, Huron County"toard ,of

piked to members of e 'Blyth
village council and iscovered
that surveying was eing•done in
the, village and tha construction
of. a sewer syst' was being
considered for 1979.
John Cochrane, directer of
education, said, the key factor in
the board's decision will be the
availability of sewer's in Blyth.
said the board should investigate
the, costs of the health unit
proposal and stack those. against
the proposed 'sjewerlconstruction
