Trustees all want to sit on
education budget committee
Trustees of the Huron County
Board of Education indicated at
the board meeting Thursday they
all want to serve on the 1977-78
budget committee. Chairman
Herb Turkheim went around the
room asking whether any trus-
tees want to volunteer for the
committee and all but Charles
Rau of Zurich and Robert Peck of
Stanley said they would like to
serve.
The board was attempting to
appoint the committee after a re-
commendation from John Coch-
rane, director of education, sug-
gested that a committee ap-
pointed now could begin to de-
velop its objectives and proce-
dures before actual preparation
of the budget begins.
Mr. Cochrane indicated in the
report the board is dissatisfied
with the "rush" that the 1977 bud-
get was given by both trustees
and administrators.. He sug-
gested if the board, wishesto give
the budget some ither type of

treatment it can do so now.
The director said the commit-
tee has been six strong in the past
and the board should decide if it
wants that to remain. It should
decide on a method of appointing
members, and a method of ap-
pointing a chairman and then
proceed to do so:
Wingham trustee Jack Alex
ander took exception to the chair-
man's suggestion that volunteers
be asked for. He said if the com-
mittee is to be six strong then the
first six people asked would tie on
the committeeand the exercise
might as well be stopped there.
"I'd like to see the names of
anyone who wants to volunteer
put in a hat and six chosen. by
drawing names," he said.
After polling the 16 trustees and
discovering that 14 wished to
serve on the budget committee,
the chairman asked whether the
committee could be appointed by
.the chairman's advisory commit-
tee. He suggested the chairman's
group could look over the special
interests and' concerns of the
trustees and try, to appoint a com-
mittee that would be balanced in
its approach to the budget. He
also suggested the budget com-
mittee be left to choose its own
chairman.
Vice chairman Marion Zinn
said she is pleased at the concern
of the board members . and
pointed out the exercise proved a
lot of people are interested in the
budget.

Drainage to be discussed
by residents of Bluevale
Three Bluevale residents will
be meeting with a department of
highways engineer and Gamsby
and Mannerow Ltd., Guelph,
consulting professional engineers
for Turnberry Township, to dis-
cuss drainage problems in Blue -
vale.
This ',decision came after a
lengthy discussion, between. 30
Bluevale residents and E'. W.
Shifflett and G. D. Gamsby of
Gamsby and Mannerow . at a
special Turnberry, council meet-
ing Thursday.
A Duncan Street drain had
been proposed in the village of
Bluevale in 1967, but was never
built because residents did not
want to assume the cost. The
large crowd in the council.cham-,
bets last week was present to dis-
cuss this drain again.
The general concensus was
that many people were pumping
water out of their basements for
two months in the spring.
,Jack Shaw told those present,,
"If I didn't take 'a bulldozer and.
dig a ditch, you wouldn't•see our
house. We had two feet • of water
last spring for about two weeks."
Some of the people present said
their homes are on higher ground
and they had no problem with
accumulating water. Mr. Gams -
by said they would be assessed
only as an outlet if the drain was
built, as their properties con-
tribute water that collects on the
lower levels..
A petition has been signed by
nine people to have 'the drain
built, but Mr. Gamsby told them
they are a couple of names shy of
making the petition ,valid. It
requires a majority of owners to
sign and council cannot proceed
until that time.
He explained that those people
who benefit from the drain would
be 'assessed higher costs. Those
assessed as an outlet would pay
less. •
A report on the Duncan Street
drain, which would include map-
ping and the approximate assess-
ments of the owners, would cost
$3,000 to $4,000, Mr. Gamsby said.
Mr. Shifflett said the cost of ,the
completed brain could reach
$60,000.
After hearing the figures, some°
men in the crowd suggested other
ways of alleviating the' problem.
Les Greenaway asked . what
would be wrong with just .digging
ditches and putting in tiles. Fred
Bruer said, "For the short time
'we have the problem, $60,000
could buy a lot of tile and none of
us are cripples;" •
Mr. Gamsby said if that was
what they wish they would have
to have reasonably sized pipes
underground and ditches.
"Seventy per cent of the water
seems to come from the high-
way," Keith Moffatt said.
"Should we have to drain 'depart-
ment of highway land?"
Mr. Shifflett said they shouldn't
and•Mr. Bruer suggested that the
highway people check their prob-
lem _first.
Mr. Gamsby said it is a good
idea. "It might reduce.the prob-
lem, although not solve it." Mr.
Bruer said he thinks everyone is
willing to try another year to see
if the problem is alleviated.
Gerald Timm, Mr. Greenaway
and Mr. Bruer are to be con-
tacted by Mr. Gamsby when the
highway maintenance engineer
can set a meeting time. A report
of what is decided will then be
sent to council.
