TOMLIN, AV 5-3338 Thornhill Mayor Mrs. Kerr contended several letters had been written to the board asking for permission for the teacher from Mount Dennis to continue teaching under the same conditions as previously. Chairman H. A. Constable said while several communications had been received from the peo~ pie concerned none asked spec- ifically for a permit. He asked that the group, or the music teacher, write a letter to the board asking for a permit and stipulate the hours and days when the School would be want- ed, and the board would reply as to the category in which the permit would be granted and the cost, if any, for openinrr the school on the days the music teacher would be using it. It was stated by the parents present that the teacher’s fee was $1.50 a lesson and the wa- son the teacher came out to the Lower Ninth was to oblige _the «rents who had difficulty get- :ing their children to Mt.

A. Gibson who stated that after making a survey it was decided there would be no change in 1960-61 of the present location of the children there was as yet an indication of a road through the Chapman property to the Howitt School but that when the Langsth highway was completed several years hence it would be non- access and would prove a natural boundary, hindering them going to Langstaff school. The children would then probably be trans- ferred to the Charles Hewitt school. Over a dozen persons were present from the Lower Ninth School district. They came to seek permission for a music tea- cher in use the school after school hours to give music les- sons to approximately twenty children in guitar, piano, cello, violin, accordian etc. At the regular monthly meet- ing last Thursday results of nine committee meetings following February 10th's regular meeting were read by the secretary.
