DOn Deacon MLA, York Centre, brought provincial greetings and said “You have shown the province what a small community can do." In the absence of Region of York Chairman Garfield Wright, Regional Councillor Gordon Rowe extended the Region's greetings.

It‘s not only the expen- diture ceilings that are down in York County schools. temperatures may soon follow them. So far, York County Board of Education hasn‘t issued any directives on the matter, and won’t un- til it gets a chance to study the minister‘s memo. Some of the points it will have to consider are: reduce temperatures in schools to 70 degrees inâ€" stead of the present 72 or 74: reduce the amount of lighting in classrooms on bright days, turning lights off in corridors where possible: use storm win- dows; improve callking around windows to reduce draughts; reduce or elimi- nate decorative or display lighting; reduce use of heavy machinery in shops; reduce the speed of school buses: reduce temperature of hot water in school taps and showers; ensure that schools under construction will have walls with high heat retention properties.

The re- mainder of the proceeds will help the ball association provide healthful summer recreation for young and: old In dealing with the negoti- ating committee of the On- tario Secondary School Teach- ers Federation, the York County Board of Education was dealing with a group whose prime concern was not the education of the students, nor the interests of the teach- ers or the taxpayers, Trustee Ross Joliffe told a meeting of the board Monday night. Also in attendance at the meeting were A1 Farguharson, chairman of District 11 of the OSS’I‘F, and Eric McLean, District 11 executive officer. Negotiations between the teachers and the board have now been put into the hands of the provincial arm of the OSSTF. Negotiators Not Interested In Student Welfare â€" Jolliffe Says (Continued from page 1) The Parks and Recreation Committee are looking for a large acreage since the pres- ent parks with ball facilities are unsatisfactory because of their proximity to residences. I believe that parks with heavy use should not be in a residential area. This is an investment. We can’t lose money. The extra land can be used for one purpose or another and we will have to buy it quickly as prices will slwrocket." Ward 2 Councillor Graeme Bales pointed out that the ‘Agricultural Society had helped purchase the first four acres of the central park in 1885 and another four acres in 1917. “At no time has it ever owned out- right any of the land, except the five lots on Pugsley which it had ‘to buy and then turned over to the town. The Agricultural Soc- ; iety has bent over backwards I. to help the town. With each new building added on the ; park, they have had less and »less room for their activities and it is really a necessity that they start looking for 1 another location." NEED EXTRA SPACE “At a meeting with the Esociety, the works committee ‘headed by Councillor Lou |Wainwright learned that to put on a show in the limited .space available in the town ‘park with increasing crowds iis really a problem.” stated Regional Councillor Gordon Rowe. “They must. seriously consider a move. They have a racing charter which may be reactivated if they have sufficient room for a track. iThis land was thoroughly in- vestigated by our executive staff who gave us a report Saying that it was time for some “plain talk,” Mr. Jol- liffe, who was substituting for the absent John Hons- berger, chairman of the board‘s negotiating commit- tee, presented a rundown of the latest offer to the teach- ers, which he felt was “fair and reasonable,” while leav- ing “all other aspects of the board’s operation in a very vulnerable position.” He said the offer gave the teachers an average increase of $1,065 over the last year's grid, and would add an extra $880,700 to the board’s salary bill for the first year and another $824,500 the second year, for a total of $1,705,- 200. Over the two-year period, this would give the teachers an increase from a $1,700 minimum to as much as $1,850. Jewellers.

Mr. Jolliffe said that the total cost of educating one secondary school student this year was $1,425, with $838 of that going for teachers‘ sal- aries. He said the 8.5 percent increase meant that, “in a period of rising costs from everything from chalk‘ to fuel oil, we will have a smal- ler percentage of total in- come for caretaking costs and supplies, less for clerical and secretarial wages, less for maintenance costs, paper supplies, fuel oil” and others. come for caretaking costs and supplies, less for clerical and secretarial wages, less for maintenance costs, paper supplies, fuel oil” and others. Also, increased unemploy- ment insurance and work- men‘s compensation rates would cost the board $37,000, and $5,000 respectively. In answer to a question as to how the rates compared with Metro’s, Mr. Jolliffe said it was impossible to equate the two. Metro re- ceived $200 more per pupil in its ceilings, and the board could never match it. When asked by Trustee Craig Cribar of Newmarket why he had dealt solely with salaries and not with other demands of the teachers, Mr. Jolliffe said that, since the negotiatings had been put in the hands of the provincial executive of OSSTF, it was a different “ball game." Their agenda changed every week, he said. “These people are very clever." Mr. Jolliffe‘s report was received by the meeting. Councillor Wainwright, chairman of council's works -cdmmittee. noted that, “Council had directed us to be on the lookout for land for the works yard. This is what we have come up with. If quicksand is there, we should look into it. I asked would we be better off with 50 acres of land closer to where the action is at a higher price. There is go- ing to be traffic wherever it is located. Can you visual- ize what it will be like in another 10 or 20 years?” “There is no argument that we have to move the works yard,” stated Mayor Lazenby. He went on to quote York County Agri- cultural Representative Art Wall as stating the fair will have to relocate out of the core where there is more room. “This is a start. It’s got to be done.” Mrs. Hancey pointed out that the Woodbridge Fair is having difficulty in accom- modating its crowds on the present property and sug- gested some combined oper- ation for the acquisition of land could be investigated. “I appreciate other council- lors' opinions. I hoped we would be given alternatives, not just one location." and recommendation last Thursday afternoon.” Mi. Bales noted that the wet areas on the land in question were because t_ile§ in the drainage system had been broken. He said the land has been used for grow- ing corn in recent years. On a recorded vote only Mrs; Hancey voted against the negotiations for an opâ€" tion. Ward 4 Councillor David Stephenson was ab- sent since he is in South America at present.

Board Chairman Marvin Hunter, in a press release. said that he and other {mem- bers of the board were “disappointed'What the board's salary offer of 'No- vember 20, was considered inadequate. Here is his statement: “The rates offered for this current year run {ram $7,300 for a beginning teacher with minimum qualifications to $17,300 for the most quali- fied teacher with 13 years experience. Beginning next September, these figures in- crease to $7,500 and $18,200 respectively. The percentage increase to teachers on average is 8.54% in the cur- rent year and an additional 7.4% in the second year. “The grid offer for the current year gives teachers an average increase of $1,065 over last year’s grid. The average increasein the se- cond year is $985. In addi- tion, the teachers were of- ‘fered a cost of living al- lowance in the econd year which would yie (:1 $70 for each one percent increase beyond 5.5%.1For example, if the consumer price index went up 8.5%. .For exatmple, if the consumer price index went up 8.5% in the twelve month period, every teacher would get an additional $210 per year beginning next Sep- ‘tember, above .the figures shown in the grid.

In the current year, they vary from $850 to $1,750, and in 1974-75 from $700 to $1.850. During the two year period, about 54% of the teachers would get in- creases of from $1,700 to $1,999; about 39% would get increases of from $2,000 to $2,499; and about 7% in- creases of $2,500 or more. “The committee also pro- posed to raise the allowances for major department heads from $2,000 to $2,100. This would mean that a depart- ment head in category 4 with 13 years experience would be paid $19,400 in the current year and $20,300 as of next September. The al- lowance for a master‘s de- gree would add another $500 for those who have this qualification. Over 100 of the approximately 800 teach- ers are major heads.

Council “About Face" Modular Home Study Modular housing will be considered as one type of housing as a component part of Richmond Hill’s Official Plan, town council decided at its meeting Monday after- noon. Deferral of considera- tion of any application now on file or received by plan- ning committee until such time as council has estab- lished a policy through the Official Plan, was part of this decision. The motion was proposed by Regional Councillor Lois Hancey and seconded by Ward 1 Councillor Andy Chateauvert. Ward 5 Coun- cillor William Corcoran, principal of Bayview Estates, whose application for a mod- ular home park on 19th Av- enue just east of Bayview has been received by counâ€" cil’s planning committee left the council chamber during the discussion. Earlier in the afternoon council had received five letters from ratepayers op- posing the modular home park in that location and had approved the mayor's replies which promised that they would be referred to the ‘filanning administration and council for considera- tion and comment.
