department of education and the halton board of education on the effect of the additional grants announced by education minister bill davis j he said the grants will be divided among the municipalit ies in the county with about 200000 going to oakvillc and the rest to esquesing nassaga- weya acton and possibly mil ton not specific on monday night education minister davis had refused to be specific about what relief halton taxpayers would get when he spoke at a dinner mee ting of the halton young pro gressive conservatives he had said his department was still in the process of studying recently announced grant regulations to see if areas which underwent reassess ment would qualify for the grants davis announced recently that the province will provide grants to hold down tax increases in municipalities with less than 60000 population the special grants wlil be el igible to those education boards which hold expenditure per pu pil within 115 per cent of 1968 help taxpayers davis pointed out last week that the additional grants would not mean more money for ed ucation boards to spend how ever but the monies would be allocated to relieve the taxpay ers last week snow said
