Council endorsed a resolution from the County of Huron ask- ing the minister of education, W. G. Davis, to consider the-pos- sibility of adding the functions of the various levels of govern- ment to the school curriculum. A request for a grant of $25,553.53 from the Orillia Sol- dier's Memoria] Hospital for an addition was turned down by council. The reason given for the refusal was that the grant would work out to more than $9,000 per bed and council's policy for grants was only $9,000 per bed.
