through lack of stud ents would not occur for the foregoing reasons the proposed rural county of peelhalton should not have a secondary school enrolment of school boards reject plunkett as just too super duper a meeting of all the educa tion authorities from halton v peel discussed the plunk ett report tuesday night nov v and decided it wasnt for ihem although no formal votes were taken at the factfinding meeting the und sug- ted the majority of boards uqred a twotier system of educational jurisdiction about 20 authorities were r at the meeting which was caned by burlington board of education to swap ideas about plunkett the plunkett report on loc al government in halton and fed suggested the setting up of two new counties one the north would be called the nral comity of haltonpeel and the other in the south to be called the urban county of aadasanga pl suggests a one level system of g covering ate whole of each of the two asmucipalmies all the services v run by the county or the local municipalities would be m by the two super nmnldp- btie for education phmkett sag- jasated stmflarly two super- boards to cover the two muni- ejpslities fii iitiijj iii the alteraatrra suggested at the meeting there were three views preserve the present setup but consolidate because under the modern educational system not all the authorities can do the same thing with oquj ef ficiency accept plunkett with a few modifications or have a twotier system with a super board and smaller boards with delegated authori ty the higher board could con trol finances and other major matters and the local boards could deal with more local matters in the final vote after sum ming up by j w singleton di rector of education for burling ton not one vote was cast for favour of the boards remaining in the present state one thing the meeting did formally approve the boards will petition the municipal af fairs minister wilfred spooner for an extension of the time li mit to submit briefs on the re port the cntofua december st the meeting voted to ask that this be extended until january 3l f out of au the briefs suggest ed the main complaint was that the area suggested by
