Meanwhile, he said, the board would be glad to co-operate in providing accommodation for the singers in another school. A report from staff pointed out that in many municipalities small schools and surplus rooms were used for storage or for auxiliary offices. The report stated that York County board is faced with the need for staff expansion and has no adequate administrative building. A 21-year-old man who spent over a month in jail because he couldn’t raise bail was re- leased after the charges against him were withdrawn in Rich- mond Hill Provincial Court, August 19. Consultants and student sup- port personnel could be housed in school buildings no longer being used as schools, the report stated. The board approved a recom- mendation that all requests for lease or purchase of school buildings be rejected at staff level unless the,board had de- cided that the building in question was clearly surplus. Before The Judge Jailed A Month, Man Is Released He was charged following a car accident. May 25. He pleaded guilty to a charge of having liquor in a place other than his residence on May 16 and was fined $25. Two other youths, Edward, 20, and John Hogan, 17, of Scar- boro, charged in the same oc- currence, were remanded to August 26 to set a date for trial. "They have a bylaw en forcement officer.

He said the hydro suggest- ed the people find the signs and lights hard to live with because they are not used to them.

At its regular meeting August 18 the board learned that seven municipalities are behind in payment of education taxes. Five are paid up to date, and two have overpaid. Although the municipalities have ‘til the end of the year to pay the full amount of the edu- cation levy. they were asked to pay the schools’ portion of each tax instalment within two weeks following the due date of that instalment. Some have made payments as requested, reported Business Superintendent George Ford, but when payments are late the board has to borrow from the bank, and the borrowing charg- es are a cost to the whole coun- ty. not just to those municipali- ties that are in arrears. He added that most munici- palities have difficulty in col- lecting some taxes, and penal- ties are assessed for late pay- ment of taxes. but legally the board cannot demand a share of the tax penalty money.

Chairman John MacKay said there had been meetings with all but one of the municipal councils, and all had expressed a willingness to co-operate with the board. Municipalities that are paid up to date are Stouffville. Sut- ton, Woodbridge, King Town- ship and the Town of Markham. Some of these had borrowed in order to meet their commitment to the board, said Mr. Ford. Aurora and Vaughan Town- ship have paid more than the amount due to date.
