John Kippen. Principal John Kippen thanked the high school board for its courage in building such a beautiful library and thanked them for the tangible expression of interest in the education of youth. “Some people say it with flowers, but we have said it with books, a whole roomful of books,” said Mr. Honsberger in paying tribute to Mr. El-son for all he had contributed to the school in his many years there. Admitting he felt a bit odd in such an unusual situation, and with his name now turned into an adjective, Mr. Elson expressed his appreciation of the honor done him and hoped the library would be a source of energy to the students and help them leave the school well prepared to take their part in life and right some of the wrongs they encounter. Following the very brief official ceremonies, staff members and other York Central teachers and board members enjoyed afternoon tea.

Bu-t However, shoqu the for- mation of these boards just be accepted in faith and “the devil take the taxpayer?” Mr. Wortman asked. Mr. Wortman said he felt an adequate study of the fin- ancial end of the picture was needed first. The members were all agreed that three boards should be established, with formation of a county board being deferred until they were. In Mr. Hutchinson's view, although it was important to get “good value" for the tax- payers’ money, he didn’t see any hope of keeping educa- tional costs down, or any hope that a new board of education would cost no more than the present. and Trustee Charles Wort- man, who sat at opposite ends of the table, both literally and figuratively in trying to assess the Richmond Hill board’s main responsibility in the matter: "‘Tha-t’s why I think time spent on the financial end is not too valuable,” the chair- to assess what it would cost dollar for dollar and then convert back to local assess- ments and mill rates would be a formidable job.

Sitt- ings of the council are open to the public and start at 2 pm. If the bylaw is given its first reading on Tuesday, it will come up again for discussion at the January sittings of the county coun- oil for second reading and if this is passed, it would be discussed again at the county level before final reading next June. The bylaw would estab- lish three boards of educa- tion in the county, one for the Southern Six municipal- ities (Vaughan and Mark- ham Townships, Richmond Hill, Woodbridge and Markham Villages); one for the Middle Five group (King. Whitchurch and East Gwillimbury Townships, Aurora and Newman-ken and one for the Northern Three (North Gwillimbury and Georgina Townships and the Village of Suttom. Reading from a report of a recent seminar on educa~ mion at Bramalea, Mr. Hutch- inson said it pointed out that Trustee Jack Knott said costs were going to go up, regardless, and assessment figures wouldn’t match them. However, if everybody asked if it would cost more, the plan would never be imple- mented. A bylaw embodying the far-reaching recommenda- tions of the York County Consultative Committee re- specting the future of edu- cation in the county will be discussed at the December 20 sitting of York County Council at the county build- ing in Newmarket. Trustee Phyllis Hawkes said she was “perfectly in ac- cord" with the plan to set up the three boards, but wanted to “take one step at a time.” Simpson. “Everybody knows there are financial considera- tions . . . that we are respon- sible to the electorate.” Mr. Hutchinson said the board should "rip the con- sultative committee‘s efforts apart on this question (fin- ance). “We have only to look at our own budgets of the last two years and see what's happening to educational costs,” Mr. Hutchinson said.

The board then passed the following motion drawn up by the chairman, with only Mr. Wortman dissenting: the boards offered a larger educational opportunity than could be had otherwise, and that increased services should be made with the knowledge of rising costs.

A later amendment asked that formation of a regional county board be deferred un- til the regional boards were firmly established and the need for the former was “clearly demonstrated.” Mr. Hutchinson said he “couldn’t see” a compromise. 29¢ THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill.
