• Hill Cut Down
Councillor Allan Campbell
told the- meeting of the work
undertaken in cutting down
Dodds' hill, long regarded as a
traffic hazard. Total cost was
$22,553.9, involving crushing
of 19,612 yards of stone. Because
- the° department had insisted on
tenders being called the cost per
yard hadrisen from 90 cents to
$1.16. This bade resulted in a
gross loss of $5,000 to the town=
ship.
Hereferred to negotiations
' that- had been carried on with
Seaforth to provide a water
tank for fire fighting.' No ac-
tion was taken he said when it
was felt Seaforth estimate of
$108 per Month for storage was
too high.
(Seaforth at the request of
townships in the fire area_ pre-
pared an estimate of -the cost
of creating heated •accommoda
tion besed on retiring the cost
in three years. The figure of
$108 represented operating
costs as well as costs of con-
struction).
Zack Ryanaskedwhy the fac-
ilities could''not be provided at
Winthrop.
• "There is no use having a fire
truck i#ewe can't get water," he
said.
MdKillop has access to the
Blyth .tank truck which should
be requested. through area fire
chief John F. Scott.
Councillor Harold Dodds re-
viewed weed cutting and spray-
ing costs which had amounted
to $1,168.80 or $11.25 per mile.
Cost of placing chloride and
crushing had' a''nounted to $24,-
244.12 councillor Ralph McNich-
ol said. Louis Coyne and Wil-
liam J. Leeming who 'had been
nominated ,for council spoke
briefly.
William Dennis who had mov-
ed to Stratford• and was retir
ing from council expressed his
appreciation for the co-opera-
tion he had received. He re-
* viewed snow plowing costs
which had worked out at $210
per mile.
George Rock nominated as
school trustee, said he had con-
sidered quitting the post but
since only -`one year . was left
had decided he might as well
stay on. He said the teachers.
felt the children were getting
a good education under the pre-
sent arrangements.
Harold Pryce, also nominated
as trustee, referred to the -de-
gree to which ,_the department
deteitnined the actions of the
board: "It is almost a _dictator-
ship in some cases," he said.
Reviewing. the action the.
board had taken in connection
with buses, he said three ,buses
had been purchased costing $23,-
060
23;000 of which 68% was recover-
ed in grants.*The board had re-
ceived one estimate of $20,000
to. provide bus service whereas
under the present arrangement
with the board operating the
buses the cost was working out
to $13,000. He agreed costs
- would likely go up as repairs
were needed but felt that even
so there would be a consider-
able saving to the board.
He Said the board had made
application to provide a school
to serve, the township but . it
looked like the board was go-
ing to have to take ,what it got.

,M+lny Meeting*
The board -chairman, John'
Henderson indicated, the amount,
of work that 1s involved in act,
ing as a member of the board.
During the year thebeard held
24 meetings, had spent four ad-
ditional days at tasks in cort-
nection with theschool work,
In addition there had been two
meetings with Grey, two meet-
ings with the Consultative com-
mittee, additional days in ex-
amining h to .bus • ari''angements
and working out bus routes.
He told of the decision to
provide gra,ded education in the
township and the extent to
which standards had • improved.
The decision recognized+ the fact
that teachers no longer can
teach eight grades. Referring to
efforts to gain approval for a
school in the ,fownship he said
a meeting lad been arranged
with the Minister of Education
on Wednesday, He was opposed
to molting out of the township
and felt • that with 175 pupils
there were sufficient, to justify
a school. While a larger school
would provide other services, •
it was his opinion that some -4
times these additional facilities
didn't always work out.
Arthur Bolton; a member of
the board, confirmed that it was
the objective of the board to
try to •make arrangements for
the building of a school in the
township. In anticipation of the
changed arrangement announc-
ed as taking effect in Jan., 1969,
he said that it would be the last
opportunity for the local board;
to accomplish its end. In his
opinion the reason that central-
izedcontrols were being intro-
duced was that there was a lack
of interest on the part of citi-
zens in looking after their own
local affairs.
Mr. Bolton reviewed the sev-
eral alternatives that are avail-
able to the township. The school
could be built in the township
to serve towuishipipupils. The
pupils could attend school at
Seaforth but in this event it had
been ,determined that not more
than two of the present teach-
ing staff would wish to teach
in Seaforth. He said the board
had had discussion's with Grey
and while there was reasonable
agreement there was a feeling
that a kindergarten was not nec-
essary. The McKillop board was
anxious to provide kindergar-
ten facilities.
Murray Dennis, another
board member, said the board•
was trying to find a solution
which was best fol the rate.
payers with respect to, cost
and which also .reflected the
proper :standard of education
for students. He'said there was
a cost problem in Seaforth and
compared the mill rate in
Seaforth to the present rate in
McKillop,
Reeve Stewart recalled the
action tarn by the consula-
tive committee. The committee
has no power but can only re-
commend, He said when the
original report .0 fthe commit-
tee had been adopted by coun-
cil he asked that it be brought
in at the next meeting of coun-
cil so that further discussion
could be held. The report
when it came to a vote was
tied and was lost when • God-
erich voted against further
consideration, Reeve Stewart
was concerned as to how long
rural communities could go
along taking decisions from
Toronto -
"I feel it is up to us in the
RIBEY -
The wedding of Mary Rob-
erta MacGregor, London and
Lawrence Orville Ribey, Lon-
don, took place at Northside
United Church, Seaforth, on
October 14th at 3:00 p.m, Rev.
Britton officiated.
The bride is the daughter of
Mrs,„ Ross MacGregor, Sea -
forth and the late Mr. Mac-

entatives. Soon we're not go-
ing to have anything left to

Other speakers expressed
concern that no firm decision
had been given by the depart-
ment. There was concern per-
haps the department was not
sure of itself what was desir-
a ble.
Russell T. Bolton recalled
a difficulty that had arisen
when statute labour was ab-
olished and trucks were first
used to distribute gravel. He
wondered if perhaps the
changes in education would
not in time become as accept-
able as had the elimination of
statute labour.
