Blyth residents got some
more bad news from the
Standard when they read
another story about their tax
rate jumping 12 mills. To the
average homeowner with a
$3,000 assessment, it will
mean an extra $36 in taxes
this year.

The Huron County board of
edu.cat,lon Monday afternoon
approired extra expenditures
for installing new hydraulic
hoists in the auito mechanics
shops in two secondary
schools this Bill.
The first ' request came
from principal R. J. Hoxnuth
of heron Central in Clinton
for $2;7.00 over and above the
regular school budgets and
only recently • the St,aSame
situation occurred at F. E,.
Madill in W inghatn. „
Both schools indicated the
car hoist was a very im-
portant part of the auto shop
equipment and vitally
necessary for successful
completion of the auto
mechanics program.
Teacher Md for Exeter
The board approved a
request from Exeter Public
School principal to
teacher aide for the
term.
Ln a letter to the board,
Chapman said kindergarten
registration has reached 63
for September 1976. He said
physical space for a third
kindergarten class would be a
problem and statistics
available for the next three
years do not suggest a need
for increased kindergarten
facilities.
The Exeter principal
continued, "The cost of
equipping an extra kin-
dergarten room is not
reasonable at this time. For
these reasons we feel that a
teacher aid would prove to be......
a greater value' than
establishing a half-time
program.
Approve Atikokan Request
The board gave unanimous
approval to a recom-
mendation that the Anti -
Inflation Board publicly
declare' that all incremental
wage increases 'be included
within the allowable wage
increases.
The request continued, by
permitting increments to be
excluded from guidelines the
AMB is allowing a situation to
exist in which the public
sector is held to maximum
wage increases while at the
same time being called upon
to support wage settlements
for teachers which will ex-
ceed the AIB maximum.
Trustee Molly Kander said
this recommendation was
approved at a recent trustees
convention at Thunder Bay.
