Originaily, the Madsen Schaol was ta have been held from Nov. 10 ta Nov. 26 and the Durham Federation was planning a Folk School for the early part ai De- cember. However, due ta the Madsen change in dates, and alsa the fact that a place ta hold the Folk Schaal is nat available, it hias been considered advisable tao hald over a venture ai this na- ture until Spring.

The Bowmanviile Board ai Ed- ucation met with the Town Coun- cil Tuesday evening, and ai ter bninging everything from pianos ta ashtrays into thie discussion, Council vated five ta ane in fav- aur ai a motion to prepare a By- Law autharizing an issue of de- bentures in the amount af $60,- 000 designed for use in building and equipping a 4-roomn addition planned for Ontario St. Schooi. After the second reading, the By- Law will be submîtted ta the Mu- nicipal Board at Toronto for ap- proval. It will become effective aiter a third reading by Bowman- vilie's Council. Previously, it had been thought the issue would be decided by the taxpayers in the forthcoming municipal electian. Too Late For Vote Ini a tharough discussion ai the subject, it was braught out that it would be impossible within the law ta have vaters signiiy the'r desire in the matter. If a subject ai this nature is ta be presented ta papular vote, a notice must je pasted not less than three, nor mare than five weeks prior ta the date the vote will be taken. Ob- serving that 'the local electiodt wiil be held Monday, Dec. 4th, it wauld be impossible ta publlsh the three notices required by law. Even if the matter was ta be de- cided at the polis, Coundil wouid have ta prepare a By-Law ta thîs effeet. Councillor Carruthers was of the opiniorn, that the matter shauld be submittèd ta the vating public at the forthcoming election. According ta Board Chairman Alex McGregor, five tenders have been submitted an the proposed addition. He said the estimated cost would be in the neighbour- baod ai $51,000 for construction alane. He requested that Caun- cil act quickly observing that con- struction costs were cantinually increasing and that only a limîted time wauld clapse before teinders would run out. Nine thousand dollars, Mr. McGregor estimated, would be required for furnish- ings, fixtures, and adaptations necessitated by the new addition.
