Bros.; who have purchased the Andrews chopping mill, 'asking permiSsion to make an addition to theirbuilding for the storing of grain." This permission was grantedt subject to compliance with existing hylaw's re building. A communication was received from • the Collegiate board, in reply to suggestion. from the conned that a commercial course be arranged for, to commence at the opening of the aut- umn . term.. The letter pointed out that the board bad taken the mat- ter into consideration:but had decided against it for several reasons some of which a1e as follows; It would mean that expensive equipment would have to be purchased, a specially qualified teacher engaged and the dropping of some class -work 'now being done. That there is no demand for the course, no student having made re - guest for commercial instruction inn - cent years. It is dot included as au option in any departmental course and no grant is given for it. The Clinton school at one time had such a course but the interest declined un- til it was discontinued. The letter continued: "The wider 'question as to the effectiveness of commercial in- struction in High Schools is one on which there may be differences of op- inion, but this board believes that the soundest and best commercial educe - thin is provided by a general course of instruction followed by a short, high- ly specialized course such as is pro- vided by the recognized business col- leges. Such specialized instruction is obtainable in Clinton." "The board takes this opportunity `to say that the recent communications from the Council are of an Unusual charcter and do not appear to take cognizance of the status of the Board in relation to the council. There seems to be a misconception on this point and the Board. therefore refers to the fact that it is a separate, cor- porate entity, not ih any -way subsert viant to the Council; but sovereign in its functions within the provicions in the High School Act, just as the Council is sovereign under the Muni- eipal Act. This Board would wish that this fact be not lost sight of in„the resolutions of the council and in the published reports of its proceedings. The Board, however, is anxious to ex- tend to all persons interested in its work every courtesy and amenity and to cooperate in everything that will render the school effcient and service- able to the community." This communication was filed. A communication from the County Clerk was read giving the county rate as $4,616.82, same as last year. Gen- eral rate $3077.88; highways. rate, $1538,94. Councillors Holmes and Livermore moved that the street committee make a survey of the streets where work has been done with a view to observ- ing any need of draining, etc. Councillors Holmes and Paisley moved that 'a bylaw be prepared a- mending the present. street bylaw', with regard to parking. A grant of $50.00 was voted to the Fire Company to- help pay expenses of their trip to the Dunville demon- stration. Chairman Thompson d the cemet- ery committee recommended that ,the front fence be finished and that a tree which is in the way be cut down, the • town to bear the cost of both opera- tions. The cemetery chairman also said that the Superintendent objects to the power mower being used out- side of the cemetery, as it is in dan- ger of being put out of order. It was finally arranged that the mower is to be used on' the town parks, when nec- essary, under the supervision of the cethetery superintendent, Chairman Cooper of the property committee recommended that the tender of A. Canteen for building • a septie tank at the town hall be -accept- ed at $125.00, his tender being the lowest. Councillor Cooper gave notice that he would at the next meeting of council' introduce a motion to allow the ratepayers an opportunity of vot- ing on the establish/Tient of a Board of Education in Clinton. Chairman • Holmes of the • park committee reported work done on the parks. Chairman Langford of the street committed gave the following lilt of streets which have been gravelled this year: North, Rattenbury, east and West.
