Biggar last week told mem- bers of Bronte village commis- sion, enquiring concerning the next steps to be taken in finding a solution for Bronte's water pro- blem. Commission Chairman Jenfiings appeared at the r C. S. Freeman, treasurer, stat- ed in his report that the board had a bank overdraft of $70,404. 66, and a total deficit of $32,889. 60. Reporting on efforts to Sell the Temporary Hospital building, R. C. A. Cumberland reported a tentative offer to buy the build- ing had been received, but later withdrawn. The price offered was $17,500 on option, and Mr, Cum- berland felt that the figure should be $20,000. The firm of W. S, Da- vis and Son was authorized to sell the building. "A great deal of X-ray work will have to be referred to Tor- onto if we keep our present ma- chine," said Dr. E. P. Soanes. He advised the purchase of a 300 millampere unit, at a cost of about $6,000, which would bring the equipment up to date. After considerable discussion it was agreed to make this purchase, provided the cost of structural and electrical work involved in the installation did not exceed $3,000. The following appointments to the hospital staff were author- ized: Dr. E. P. Soanes, director of medicine; Dr. D. H. Dixon, director of obstetrics; Dr. E. P. Lunau, director of special servic- es; Dr. Campbell MacArthur, dir- ector of surgery. TEEN TOWN BY KAREN PECK At Teen Town Friday night a good crowd turned out to hear Ken Dean and his Jazz band.

Three years ago the principal's salary was $2,000, Mr. Merry pointed out. It was now $2900. Some of the teachers aries had been raised from $1,200 to $1,900 in that period. "I think they are being paid adequate sal- aries," he said. Mr, Hogan, most recent teach- er to resign from the Bronte school, stated that he left for two reasons, a low salary and salary discrimination. "We are not showing any fav- ors as a board to any teacher,' declared Mr. Giles. Wm. Sargant quoted salaries paid in Glenwood and Strathcona schools, Nelson township, which he claimed were much higher than those in Bronte. The biggest tax burden in Trafalgar, he said, was borne by taxpayers in the dis- trict south of the Queen Hliza- beth highway. All township em- ployees had received salary in- creases this year, he stated. "T don't think anyone will be oppos- ed to raising the teachers' salar- ies," said Mr. Sargant. "They have a salary schedule in Oak- ville and "they have no trouble." "I feel the township of Tra- falgar area school board is pay- in an average equal to any other municipality," replied Mr. Giles. "We have no ceiling and we have no floor. We are on the open market." "It looks fo me like we are going to continue to lose teach- ers," sald Mr. Sargant.
