Indications are that the Româ€" an Catholic Episcopal Corpora- tion of Toronto are planning to take legal action against the township in an effort to have the courts declare as exempt from assessment the ZOO-foot entrance into Holy Cross Cemetery at Langstafi. The township has as- sessed the entrance and a small office building on the property for taxation purposes. The Court of Revision had turned down an appeal to have the entrance ex- empt from taxation. Under Pro- vincial law, the actual cemetery proper is 'exempt from taxation.

Trustee Mrs. M. Southwell has been in- structed to confer with the Board of Trustee of the local separate school regarding the possibility of the two boards using one bus to serve the children attending both school systems. Mr. G. M. Kaye, who has three children attendmg the MacKillop School, informed the Board at last Thursday‘s regular meeting that there are approximately 10 children attending that school from the area of Bathurst and Oxford Streets. Messrs. Wilson and Elliott recently granted the children permission to cross their property on their way to and from school. thus affording them a direct route.

The group who are report- ed to have purchased land on Wright Street for a new church. had hoped to secure permission to use the school auditorium as a temporary meeting place. The Board was unanimous in its re- fusal as it was felt it wasn't in a position to subsidize any group As a means of saving on fuel costs, heat is usually kept to a minimum in the buildings over the weekend when school is not in session. Additional caretaker service would also have been re- quired. In a to aid Board duction classes In a progressive step designed to aid slow-learning pupils, the Board will consider the intro- duction of a system of auxiliary classes within the near future. The Board has signified that it will not require any school site in a small 25â€"101; sub-divis- ion planned for the Bedford Park Area. In order to cope with the rap- id growth, the Board is expected to consider shortly the setting up of a full-time secretarial office to serve the three schools. bers will be able to alter what they consider to be an unfair division of transportation costs between the various parts which constitute the Richmond Hill School section. The Board con- tends that Richmond Hill resi- dents are forced to pay more than their just share towards the cost of transporting children re- siding outside the village limits. Last year the Board received $12,500 in taxes from the town- ships of Vaughan and Markham, while total transportation costs for the year amounted to $9,100. However, a portion of these transportation costs were incur- red in transporting village child- ren.
