Roy Tyndall told of attending road 'superinten'dent's school at Toronto, and that next year the school would be at the Univer- sity of Guelph. Carman Tebbutt, assessor, reported $2,800,200 assessment this. year, of which $123,350 was for separate schools, and the rest for public. Population in Goderich Township is 1,943. "When I started 15 years ago," recalled Mr. Tebbutt, "assess- ment was $2,254,000." Tax collector Ben Whitely reported only $21,000 in tax ar- rears in comparison with $46,000 at the end of Decemb- er, 1964.

'Clerk Thompson thanked the people for baying him a calcu- lator for use in the office. "It's too bad the Brigadier is not here," 'said Thompson. "There are arrears of taxes in Hayfield that were net getting. Perhaps he could have explain- ed this tO as:" Mr, Thompson reported that under Section 54 of the. Aseest- merit Acts the township was re- Vieth to turn over to school boards, the education part of increased taxes (in other werds, taxes on -properties which be- came taXable after the assese- rnent roll was made up for the year) yet that they did not get refunds on Irefuteled taX (that 18 on properties that burn cli;ewie. or otherWise ber,Onle un- taXable after the assessinont roll is 'made up), Be tvit that this Was not exactly fair.

Deputy Reeve Malwain re- ported on the planned addition Huronview; an addition to Qcycl,0101. hospital; • difficulty in rousing interest in EMO, but worthwhile work being • done with the auxiliary pollee; 54 applications for the Construe- tion Safety Inspector's job at $4,800.a year; need for continu, ing the ambulance service in the county; need for control of the dump. McIlwain commented that it would be 'difficult at present to combine the offices of EMO with the Safety Inspector's post, since the former received provincial and federal grants, while the other was purely the county's expense. Councillor Oakes reported on township road work, and the need to replace the 1949 grad- er. "The other one (bought in 1956) is also getting old, and we need one new one," stated Oakes. Oakes noted that inetead of farm ponds; the Conservation Anthoeity was experimenting with a new irrigation Method, called a "hillside . trickle". "One is installed already, and we're preparing one near Sea- fOrth in 1966, so that people can see it in operation." He warned' against closing the dump, since it would encourage people •' to dump garbage on roadsides. Councillor W. R. Jenkins joined Oakes and Mcllwain in congratulating Forbee on the cemetery clearing, and suggest- ed a chain-link fence around it to make it look finished. "If it weren't for those settlers and the work they did," -said Jenkins, ."a lot of us wouldn't be here." He noted that gar- bage control was difficult and that on the sideroad from the Base Line to the 16th, which was cleaned up just this sum- mer, 'already he had seen gar- bage dumped on it He approv- ed municipal ditches. Councillor Wilmer Riddell, spoke briefly thanking .the school area- board for work done in the past. "Our child- ren are going to reap the bene- fit of What they have done," he said. John Semple (re7n,amed to the public school board) Was' unable to remain at the meet- ing until his turn to speak, Mr. Semple drives a bus for Holmesville Public School and had to leave for his route.

Jelin Westbrook ,spoke brief- ly stating that though reason- ably new to the township he was interested in public ser- vice. He had no argument With the present school board, how- ever. When the nominees had all spoken, John Tebbutt, chair- men of, the board, wee put .on the ."bot seat", while ratepay- ers questioned him about costs, numbers of pupils, etc. Tebbutt reported teachers Salaries of $38,500, plus $1,200 for music instruction, There are 320 pupils, And the school is large enough to accommod- ate 440. The addition had been put up at the cost of $1.3 per square foot, which is considered good. Mr. Tebbutt thanked his board for their work during the year, and thanked council for its support. He said - they would be happy to make •the auditorium available for future nomination meetings. All of the one-room schools in the township have been sold, and though they were selling the old school at Hohnesville to the township, they expected to retain use of it (if needed) for extra classroom space. ' Ed-Wise, another board mem- ber, spoke briefly, Chairman Forbes asked about public school trustees' salaries, noting that he had served some years ago for $9 a year. From the audience came a chuckle la's Bob Elliott chided, "You only get what you pay for, Walter." Then Forbes turned the. tables by saying, "well from the High School board we must be getting something good. How about your report on CUSS?" Mr. Elliott proceeded to give a comprehensive report on statistics concerning CHSS and the 1,212 students there. He said he was proud to represent Goderich Township, since it al- ways stacked up well against other areas taking part in CEISS affairs. SalarieS at CHSS. range from $4,800 to $13,500 for the 69 teacherse...repoeted Elliott, plus 15 night school instructors paid $12 per night. Other staff includes three secretaries, five clerk-typists, six custodians, four engineers, and nine buses covering ten routes, art 44 cents per mile. "Our mill rate is down," said F-Illott, "now only 16 mills. (Here he made an aside to Chairman Fortes; "Not bad for a two year man, Walter.") He. predicted 1,467 pupils within the next five years. The proposed addition is ex- pected to cost $467,120, at about $21 per square foot. However, Mr. Elliott felt that the' mill rate might be lowered by two mills in 1966. He fav- oured this, • though it might Auburn Personals ' Hog Ascinith, of Islington and H4rold Astinith. of „$trootsvillo. visited in the village last .$at-. tirday, Mr. and Mrs. Cohn Bird and Robert visited 'last week with. friends lin, Toronto for a tew Moorehead of 3en, Miller wee. the relieving Men- ager of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce here and et Dungannon..

He kept an in, formal manner as he introduc- ed each speaker,- and sometimes commented on the remarks each made. He noted among other things that credit should go to Bob Welsh for starting the central school in the township seven yeaps ago. "We had a lot of arguments with Bob,. but he was a good trustee, and .he got this school under way at a good time. Central . schools could be seen in the future then, 'and they are a good. thing. There is not .. so much change for youngsters now, as there was 'Changing from a one room school to high school, You know, I went to s'choo'l on my bare feet," summed up For- bes, "niy sons went to school on bicycles, and their children are going to school in buses.", Mr. Fol.-41;es commented in favour of municipal drains; his sorrow that Concession 11 was clue to be turned back to the township from the county roads. system (Holmesville is the heart of the gravel indus- try, he pointed out, and there is a lot of heavy travel on this read); the, importance of re-huilding north-south roads, since they cost more to snow- plow than those running other directions; commented that Roy Tyndall was ein his 33rd year -of service to. the township as road superintendent. Reeve Grant Stirling felt that a Construction Safety In- spector was in the .near future for the county. He added that this office could be combined with that of the Emergency Measures Organizer, "it would give one of them something to db. But I'll be classed with Mr. Hindmarsh if I say anything against EiVIO," he ended.
