The. Property Tax Grant of up to $500 per household is provided in two installments annually. The Sales Tax Grant is an automatic $50 paid each year to an Ontario residents 65 and over. PROPERTY TAX GRANTS • APPLICATIONS The 1980 Property Tax Granrwas paid to recipients in one payment. In 1981, the Grant is being paid In two installinents. The first payment, sent automatically in the' spring, was, equal to one-half the amount of your 1980 Grant. To qualify for the final installment you must submit an application to the Ministry of Revenue. If you receive the federal Old Age Security pension, and are eligible, you will receive this application for your Property 111X Grant during the first half of September, 1981. Those who , reach the age of 65 between now and December will receive their applications early in 1982. Seniors who are not eligible for federal Old Age Security payments, but who have previously established eligibility for the Property Tax Grant will also receive an application. The Ministry of Revenue is mailing applications only to those seniors who are thought to be' eligible.

Separate board rejects pay raise for trustees By Susan White Trustees of the Huron - Perth separate school board turned. down an increase' in their honoraria in an in - camera session at their mee- - ting Monday night in Dublin. Board Vice Chairman Vince Young of Goderich said the proposed raise to $200 . a month from the. present $180 was defeated by a large vote, with only four trustees voting in favor. At the same meeting trustees reviewed copies of a provincial report on the role' of the school trustee. One of its conclusions is that the minimum pay for trustees should be $400 a month, funded by provincial grant • and- local-takes—The-report-- added that local boards have the right to pay themselves more than $400 a month, but the extra should be charged against local taxes'. Trustees did agree to a mileage ( increase for themselves, td 28 cents from 25 cents per mile, effective in Sept. The same mileage will be paid to newly hired speech pathologist Mary La Berge, who starts Sept. 1. Board 'member S recon- sidered and, rescinded a motion from the June meeting giving a leave of absense withOut pay for a year to Teresa Mader, former principal of • St. James' •Separate Seaforth. She no will receive a ,lear's leave \ absence. In other business, Director of Education William Eckert reported the board's con- vention and meeting fund is about $1,800 over budget. Because trustees John O'Leary and Tim McDonnell were absent, the board didn't hear a full report on the Congress of Education meeting they attended in June with Vice Chairman Young. Mr. Eckert suggested some trustees try to attend a —meeting -on -the -challenges -of - the province's new Bill which requires boards to supply special education. The meeting, which is sponsored by the Ontario Catholic System Officers Association, will be held in Toronto next month. It should provide "a par- ticularly Catholic point of view" with implications for Catholic schools as opposed to schools in general he said. . Superintendent of Education John McCauley told trustees he has been in touch with the Lambton separate board, which is' one of the pilot province for the implementation •of the special education provisions of the new law. A province-. wide conference on im- plementing the program will be held in Toronto Oct. 1 and 2. The director suggested a member of the board's assessment committee at- tend a meeting on planning with assessment in Toronto Sept. 17 and 18. The board's accommoda- tions review committee will Set a meeting for September, to -look over data collected by' the administration. The board agreed to pay Eileen Williams, the custodian lit St-.- Patrick's school in Dublin, an hour per day of pupil attendance at the recent summer school for Huron and Perth students held at the school. Cecilia Ryan was hired as part-titne custodian at St. Columban School, effective July 1. The separate school board will meet again Sept. 14.
