special guest Friday and wblle few real dents attended those who did asked him to justify the board recently a 1 million budget for 1962 which will raise taxes In Hal on Hills an average of per house hold Almost as soon as he greeted town councillors Terry Ross Knechtel Russ Miller end Dave Whiting and school trustee Bruce Mr was by Acton resident Bill Cook who demanded to know what real dents get from their system In return for the high taxes they pay When Is the spending going to slop Mr Cook asked I have no children so what do I get out of the school board Teachers are getting paid exorbitant salaries yet when kids come In to apply for a job they can barely write own names Mr argued that board officials and trustees pared the budget down to a point where we could not go any lower The board this year spent a great deal of time cutting things out of the budget the board education director since January said Budgets ry debate wasn taken In a casual manner and the responsibility of the people who attacked that budget was high and not done In a cavalier don give a damn altitude He added that not all of the costly special education requirements outlined in the province Bill were met this year and said the board maintained one of the lowest per pupil cost increases In Ontario Although the board will hire more teachers to meet union contract demands and Bill requirements It expects he complement of full time teachers to drop by this year OUR ORATORICAL BEST French program Bill programs and providing lunch room supervision as required by the province Mr said told the group that he personally supports Bill no question that the province Is trying to back out of education Mr Beevor said It easy to be critical of the province but one wonders how Ihcy can reduce their deficits loo Although enrollment to decline Mr said healing and maintenance costs continue to rise whether the schools are filled or only partially He said that the process or closing and selling schools Is long difficult and often very bitter People don like to see their community schools closed Mr said After debate we will close three schools In southwest after this school year However councillors noted that schools have limited alternative uses and don t sell well Asked whether last years construction of a new gym at Glen Williams School was necessary In view of the small student population of Mr Beevor said be supports the concept of building gyms for students it Is intended they be used by the entire community suggested there is a problem between education officials and taxpayers which Is reaching a critical enough level to prompt officials Into solving the dilemma I agree mora Mr said Its not we get to come out and be part of forums like this It allows us to give our side of Ihe story and there are many good things in the system which are overlooked and don t get cited He expressed hope that board officials could return to the dropIn centre regularly

of the provincial salary Had provincial funding for the board remained the same as last year he said this year increase In mill rale would be about 13 per cent instead of the 19 per cent announced two weeks He explained that the province determined that 11a lion has better than average wealth and provincial fund ing for the annual budget dropped from per cent last year to per cent in 1B82 Correspondingly the era responsibility for the board budget rose from per cent to per cent Supported by a large amount Industrial region is not paying as much per household for lis costs Mrs Bruce
