SEFK TO PARE SKYING SCHOOL EXPENDITURES Second reading to a by-law to raise $360,000 on debentures for a new west side public school was given by town council at a special meeting Monday evening, attended by 'D. A. McConachie Tepresenting Oakville public school board. The by-law will go to the Ontarlo Municipal Board for aproval before receiving a third reading and being passed. Mayor Black asked Mr. McCon- achie if he did not think the pro- posed 14Toom school did not con- tain too. many frills. He wanted to know if the auditorium called for in the plan was necessary. Mr. McConachie replied that the auditorium was recommended by the department of education. It could be used as an alternative class-room, he pointed out, and the board would receive a grant on it. "If we need a new school let's build the whole thing" advised Councillor Lachlan McArthur, "because If you build part of it now and an addition "ater it will cost you more." Mr. McConachie pointed out that on the basis of present build- ing activity on the west side, 400 new pupils were expected by 1953. He believed there were enough pre-school age pupils in town to warrant a senior and a junior school on each side of the river. The new school he said, should be completed by Septem- ber 1952 and filled to capacity the following September. Cost of the construction is estimated at $306, 000, the balance being for the site and furnishings. Town Clerk Clarence Byers sald would cost $27,700 a year for it Bell T , finally managed entries in the Men's Major loop, and celebrated by playing cous- ins to last years _ also-rans, Chevs and Hitchcox.
