To solve the increased enrolment at Snowball the Snow- ball board had made arrange- ments to send some pupils to Eversley school. This did not meet with the approval of some parents. On March 26 it was de- cided to build a two room school at Snowball. In reply to the question of closing any of the present schools Inspector McLeod said “I don't think there would be any schools you would want to close unless you want a central school. The area is growing (so rapidly it would be very difiicult to know where to put a central school." Inspector McLeod in regards to Legislative grants, that for every school section going into a school area half a classroom would, be allowed, and there would be an extra grant of $300 a school section. an area school.

In- spector McLeod suggested a ten- tative date for the first meeting in the first week in September, when a better picture of the en- rolment needs will\ be available It was at this point that trus- tee John Whalley suggested a committee be formed of repre- sentatives of schools involved, so that maximum assistanceeould be given to one another in regard to economy, building of addition- al classrooms, etc., a regional planning board where we could confer.. “This committee would have no legal status," interjected Chairman Walker. ‘Problems could be brought to the fore- front, advice and suggestive help could be given," commented trustee _Whalley. “It isn‘t too early to think ab- out a township school area. It is shaping up inevitably. The frame- vigrk for a school area could be 5 rted," suggested trustee John Whalley. “A township school area has been operating in a very small way at King City with sending Grade 7 and 8 pupils to that school,” stated inspector McLeod. “The value of an area is that you use your accommoda- tion to the best possible advan- tage_ However, anything you do to help each other will meet with my approval,” he concluded. “In the case of Eversley it all boils down to the fact that the ratepayers have been very much opposed because of a possible high mill rate", said Mr. Walker. take over all assets and liabilities of the school sections in January.

The Fire Marshal's report on several unused shacks in the school area, is to be presented soon. These are a fire-hazard and have been repeatedly brought to the attention of the Township council. However, the buildings have to be marked by the fire marshal before council can take the final steps to remove such hazards, and thus begin a much needed clean-up. Mrs, A. E.

They will only dovthe engineers, he said. The village will have to pay for the trees being removed and the cov- ering of the ditches. At present when «cars are parked on both sides of King St. the travel por- tion of the road is very narrow, especially in winter time. “That will be 600 to 700 feet at $6 a foot that would cost the village in the neighbourhood of $4,000”, observed trustee Don Findlay. ‘I suggest a parking lot to allev- iate the traffic problem," Leo Vallentine, subdivider of Heritage Park was present. He said his bond had not lapsed as yet. Roads would be completed as soon as the weather would permit_ It had been agreed by all parties not to complete roads until the houses were finished. “Additional standards keep com- ing up, changes in road require- ments which are slowing us up as we don't know what is expect- ed of us," he said. “The officials seem to be learning at the ex- pense of the people living on the roads," commented Chair- man E.
