The meeting opened with John MacNeil. chairman of the village trustees stating that the meeting had been called by Mr. Forrest and ‘ that the village trustees were anxious to co-operate in any way possible in solving the problem of a separate school site. Don Robertson. chairman of the separate school board ques- tioned the previous meeting be- tween the trustees and Father Cirivello, in light of the fact that the separate school board was not represented at the meet- ing. The trustees stated that there was some confusion in reâ€" gard to that nrevious meeting and some were under the im- pression Father Circhilo was representing the separate school board. They added that to- night's meeting was a direct re- sult of the previous meeting. Mr. Forrest stated that the full consensus was that the previous site picked out was too small.

A spokes- man for the board stated that proper acreage would be a school, church and rebtory on a five acre lot. Mr. Forrest then suggested that the board buy such a site now in one of the subdivisions going in east of Bayview to serve that area. After considerable discussion, the board finally picked out a te1.tative site consisting of five acres on the rear of the present Vic Grainger propertQ. The site would front on Dudley street and be directly across from the new Thornhill high school. It was pointed out that the site would be almost ideal since it was close to the church. access- ible to a wide area and could be easily connected into water and sewerage facilities when they were brought into that areya.

Mr. Forrest suggested that if the Grainger site couldn’t be purchased. the board should approach the plan- ning board who would request a subdivider to reserve some land for them at the raw price. The separate school board felt that this would be their only re- course should there be no land available in the immediate Thornhill area.
