Financial Statement. Fred Watson read a detailed ex- pense account, for the year's busi- ness, saying that about $10,000 taxes were still outstanding, and that up until. Friday, $94,000 had been collected, He said he did not see why the schools should expect all their money on December 15— it made it hard for the township to get enottgh.money in by that time, School Board Ward Forrest, newly named to the Township School Area Board, said that many ratepayers had asked him why they knew nothing about the expenses of their own schools. T. B. Baird, secretary -treasurer of the board, gave a financial statement for the year, which .in- cluded teachers' salaries of $13,- 055, instructional supplies, $1,020; plant operation $2,747; capital outlay, $2,000; transportation, $627; receipts for tuition, $613; election day rentals, $60; legisla- tive grant, $10,333; sale of fur- nace, $25; sale of stove, $10; sale of wood, $50; sale of shed, $30.

Police said that the Patterson car, and one driven by W]Iliam Niezen, Blyth, skidded on loose snow and sideswiped.

George Reid presented the fin- ancial statement of the Clinton District Collegiate Institute Board. None of the school area board members were present to give an account of their year.

Cameron, seconded by Harvey Taylor. Bayfield Must Hold Second Nomination . (Continued from page One) was definitely "on the menu" for next year. Councillor Harvey Taylor, Stan- ley Township, said they definitely intended to do something about the hedge. He said it was too bad the Department did not sep- arate the police village subsidies in the financial statement, but "they don't and there's nothing we can, do about it." Grant Turner spoke in favour of improvements in Clan Gregor Square for the summer picnicers. "I believe our park is the best place in the county for summer picnics," said Mr. Turner, but we're short of washrooms. Some days in the summer there are 700 to 800 people on that park, and there are no facilities for them. The garages in that locality have to keep washrooms, and keep them clean. The trouble is that we run out of water, and then we have none for our own use, nor for the summer holiday people. We try to cater to everyone, but lots of times there are too many of them." I think it would do Bayfield a lot of good to put up washrooms and instal a pressure system for the use of the summer picnic peo- pie. People who come from Clinton and Zurich every Sunday through the summer keep saying to us, Why don't you brighten up over here in Bayfield, and do something about water and washroom facil- ities?' "This is just a suggestion for council," ended Mi+. Turner, "be- cause I think we have, a, beautiful place for picnics. It's a beautiful place. But it's up to us in the village to provide the facilities needed by our visitors."

Tuckersmith Officials Receive Acclamations To All Positions (Continued from page One) "and that is the matter of the re- fuse dump. We realize that it is not in the most desirable locat- ion but it was the only one avail- able. We were faced with the problem of having to provide a dump or continuing to see refuse dumped on the side of township roads as it has been in the past. Bert Garrett, in his address stated that the rent was $100 yearly and that the contract could be cancelled by either party on one month's notice. The dump is on the farm of Alex Boyes, close to Egmondville and it is not in operation yet. Ivan Forsyth, (nominated by Stanley Jackson, seconded by Wilfred • H. Tremeer), reported that the current tax roll was $110,171.47. He stated that taxes collected up to December 15 were $94,069.63, plus the arrears of tax- es collected to that date being $14,812.52, Malting the total taxes collected $108,882.15. IIe said that last year's arrears were $19,317.89. "Major expenses for the past year were on the power grader," Mr, Forsyth continued, "we had it completely overhauled at a cost of $2,939.99 and three bridges had to be built." He warned that many of the bridges on the township were getting to the state where they needed to be repaired or replaced. ,Bert Garrett, (nominated by Angus Brown, seconded by James Landsborough), said that they had not done as much gravelling as in past years (2,000 yards less) and that they .had saved seven or eight cents a yard. Victor Lee (nominated by h'an Forsyth, seconded by Bert Gar- rett) said that he had tried to work in the interests of the rate- Ipayers and would continue to do his best, Frank Falconer (nominated by Harold Lobb, seconded by William Pepper) explained the problems that had confronted council with regard to the warble fly control. problem. He pointed out that ten- ders for spraying had received on- ly one applicant while there had been no application for inspector. He thought that the results had been good and stated that there had been no complaints and that no cattle- had been killed. Dealing with the Egmondville school question, Councillor Falcon- er felt that council should abide by the school board's decision. "The mill rate doesn't matter so much as long as you are getting good value for your money," he stated. A report was heard from J. Mc- Intosh, Tuckersmith Township re- presentative on the Seaforth Dis- trict High School Board. George Falconer, representative on the Clinton District Collegiate Insti- tue School Board and the repres- entative on the South Huron D,H.S., were not at the meeting. Ross Forrest, township school area board member, said that there liad not been as much har- mony during 1955 but that this is not a bad sign as the issues that come up are looked into more closely. He felt that Tuckersmith should have a long term program with regard to schools, and he ad- ded that with such a low school eaY welcome! We're looking forward to another, year in which. to serve nice folk like you! SullerPerdue Hardware Clinton "Four FRI(IIDAIRE Dealer" PHONE 141 CLINTON mill rate (6 mills) perhaps Tuck- ersmith was not paying enough for education. Mervin Falconernominated ( by Ernie Crich, seconded by John E. Turner) said that he had gained considerable experience during his first term on the school board. He thought that the chairman and the vice-chairman should be con- gratulated on their work. He said that the mill rate had been reduced and oil furnaces had been put in two schools while pressure systems had been installed in two others. He said that he had been asked by several ratepayers why the council runs the school board and he added that he did not know the answer to this question. W. P. Roberts, secretary -treas- urer of the school board and chair- man of the meeting pointed out that this year there was a de- liberate debit of $3,000. This is partially recoverable as the gov- ernment pay 40 percent on all capital outlay expenditures. I -Is stated that during the past year no monies had been spent on maintenance or interior decorat- ing and this was the result of hard work and careful planning of past boards, "The Egmondville problem is not settled, just postponed," he added. He gave the enrolment there as 54 which is too many for any teacher. Ile recalled the last inspector's report on the over- crowded situation. It is hard to get results in crowded schools and we are getting excellent re- sults in non -crowded schools." He predicted that by 1060 the enrol- ment at Egmondville would be 65, At present 18 pupils are be- ing transported to No. 5 School and five pupils (grade 8) are go- ing to Seaforth, this accommoda- tion may not be available for the six grade eight pupils of No. 8 school in 1956-57 and he asked "Where will they go to school?" Mr. Roberts urged long term planning and warned that econ- omy carried to a certain point was all right, after that you are run- ning into trouble. Ray's Service Station Raymond, Hoggarth, Prop.
