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 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 Education supported a'. resolution • that the governMent i of Ontario consider' Making‘;'• -boards of education eligible for Wintario grants: The Huron board agreed with ,the resolution at its regular meeting 'Wednesday. n. * The resolution, adopted by the Shupe' board of education 'in November of 1917, asked the, province to consider makiQg Wintarib funds available to boards to finaae needed general ' purpose rooms . and library resource centres.
