COUNCIL PROVIDES FOR BUILDING OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL Project Adopted By Unani. mous Vote of the Meeting MET LAST NIGHT Members of the High School Board Explained the Situation (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Feb. 12--An ad- journed meeting of the Town Coun- cil was held on Tuesday evening, February 12. Mayor Elliott was in the chair and all Councillors were present, The principle item of business, and which took up most of the evening, was the question"of granting the necessary amount for the addition to the High School. The High School Board was present in a body, pre- pared to answer any questions or throw any light on the proposition, as far as was possible, that would enable the Council to come to a de- cision, the amount asked for $98,000, seemed a very large sum, Mayor Elliott asked the Board if there was any other proposition they could suggest which would be carried out at a lower cost. W, B Couch, Chairman of the Board, ex- plained that the matter had been gone into most fully and carefully and the plans submitted only cover- ed what was absglutely necessary to comply with the School Act and the demands of the Department of Edu- cation, also the neccessary accommo- dagion for the increased attendance at the School, C, H.

Caverly, also spoke, again going over very carefully and explicitly, the absolute need of the proposed addition, The question was thoroughly dis- cussed, most of the Councillors ask- ing for information regarding var- ious points and as information was given, they gradually concluded that 2 point had been reached where the matter could be put off no longer. Councillor Bunner was of the opin- ion thaat the question should be put to the people but had no de- sire to block the measure and if the rest of the | Councillors were in favor of 'it, would make it unani- mous, As Motion Unanimous After discussing the question from every side and angle,.it was moved by Councillor James, second- ed by Councillor Rehder that the Council grant the request of the High School Board for the necessary sum up to $98,000 with interest until debentures were sold, for the pur- pose of building an addition to the High School and equipping same. fous divisions of the annual stafe- ment are impressive. In income the increase is approximately for ty-two* millions, assets ninety mii- lions, surplus ten millions, bring ing surplus to $56,000,000 to po.icy-holders.
