J Times- Advocate, November 14, 1979 Pogo 3 Money to be used for buses and boilers in Huron The Huron county board of education learned Tuesday that any money it does have for capital expenditures In the next five years will probably be used to replace buses and boilers. John Cochrane, director of education, told the board the county was "suffering from a case of worn out heating equipment". Cochrane told the board that of the nine items listed in the five year forecast four involved replacement or repairs to boilers, one was to purchase school buses and two were to do with alterations to school buildings. Cochrane suggested the board support the recom- mendation of transportation manager R.L. Cunningham to replace six school buses a year for the next five years. Cunningham reported to the board that the county now owns 43 buses and that 30 of those should be replaced by 1984. The report estimated six buses to cost 8135,000 next year and by 1984 estimates another six to cost $216,000. An engineering report on the conditions of boilers at J.A.D. McCurdy Public School in Huron Park estimates costs to replace Grand Bend loses battle The village of Grand Bend lost a battle in court last week with the township of Stephen. Grand Bend had refused to pay a bill from the township for 8107 for work done on the Stanlake drain. Reeve Bob Sharen said that he thought that Grand Bend was being charged interest on a bill which they had never received. At court last Wednesday, Sharen said he learned that they were actually being charged 857 and 850 interest. "It's a matter of principle, we should have been given the chance to pre -pay to avoid interest charges," Sharen said later. Sharen said that he and councillor Bill Baird were at court in Exeter from 10 a.m. until 6:17 p.m. Lawyer Norm Pickell of Donnelly, Murphy and Pickell represented Grand Bend. Shlaren said he was disappointed with the out- come. "The judge had sympathy for us, but the law was on their side, they have the right to charge interest," he added. Stephen clerk Wilmar Wein said Grand Bend made their payment based on the engineer's original report, but the actual cost of the drain exceeded estimates. Wein told the T -A, "Grand Bend was assessed about 50 percent of the total cost of the drain which was in ex- cess of $6,000." When the bill was sent it included 8107.59 which was interest for in- terim borrowing on the work. When they paid us they kept back the 8107.50. It's normal practice to build interest charges into the cost of the drain. Wein continued, "The bill sent to Grand Bend was for 83,211.37, but, they only paid the 82,704.05 as estimated in the first report. They later paid another 8399.73, but, kept back the 8107.59." The Stephen clerk in- cluded, "The drain bylaw clearly specified that the municipality was allowed to borrow up to 85,775 for construction of the drain. Each municipality was ordered by the judge -to pay their own court costs.

Cochrane said the report indicates the board should attempt to have that work done in the next year. Boiler repairs at Hensall Public School will cost $19,000 according to an engineer's report and Cochrane said the board's senior management felt that work should be done. Seaforth High School is also in need of new boilers according to engineer's report and estimates to do that work price it at 845,000. Cochrane said the board Remembrance Continued from front page He said the Germans made the laws, explained them, changed them and ignored them, and there was no appeal. "Justice for all is very important for me," he told the large gathering at the Legion hall, saying that he would prefer to take his chances with parent and volunteer groups to look after the young, weak, old and mentally retarded than to trust government agen- cies. He said volunteer groups have the deep-rooted con- victions displayed by the soldiers who went to set Europe free and didn't count the cost of that fight. "We must never forget that," he added. Legion president Lee Webber was chairman for the program, which paid special tribute to eight World War I veterans on hand, Gord Parker, Ted Pooley, Cliff Brintnell, Norm Norry, Bill Parker, Joe White, Sylvanus Cann and visitor Simpson Fryer. In his comments, MPP Jack Riddell said he had visited a war cemetery in Holland three years ago where 3,000 Canadians were buried and this provided him with a stark reminder of the price paid to end oppression and foster peace. "They fought in foreign wars for the values in which they believed," he said of the Canadian armed forces, and he urged parents, teachers and legislators to "remind all Canadians and young people to value their citizenship and to realize the price that was paid for it by Canadians.

Estimated costs to replace worn out boilers at Brussels Public School are $19,000 and an engineer's report in- dicates that should also be done by 1981. Cochrane said two •ad- ditional classrooms should 1 be constructed at Colborne Central Public School by 1981 to replace two portable classrooms. The director said the school also needs a library resource centre, boys' and girls' change rooms and showers and a storage area which could also be constructed at the same time. He told the board Colborne is one of the few schools in the county that does not appear to be suffering from declining enrolment. He said subdivision plans for the Goderich area indicate the school population will not decline adding the work will be needed. South Huron District High School needs some roofing work done which Cochrane said is obviously needed. He said the roof is leaking and should be replaced. Seaforth High School is also in need of a new roof. Alterations to a drafting room and the construction of a corridor between gyre- nasiums were listed as projects needed at Goderich District Colle(giate Institute. Cochrane said he did not foresee the work as high priority but suggested it needed the board's attention in the future. .ttt • vs -,020 1 P d d��\ sg � e o�\`I ro ..\\-\ese Sot costo o\ Jes to a\\ tree S,Pet t O\te<Lpt�Zs�J o'2"4- a to coJ\a�declae t`I ,de role • te o pec-`o\s sot `tie e sP Ni4 • ss s odnek ony ° Jt �O Fe jj 4 tom- j(CHRISTMAS DISHin Stock WASHERS 1O%o,, LIST PRICE ChoChoose from frOTKelvin portobtes an oto` onrt to buTfr-inS al os g,it Buy now ono save e uQ REMNANTS t0 Reduced Another 10% Off Our Already Low Prices SI so 4a. ►• � o��os3 St FSO Eat `' OO $1O�• �O G� 0)490.
