ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THUJtSDAY, MAY 16th, 1968 Report Joins Clarke, Hope And Newcastle For Two Schoo B1 ards RepresenttiL ves With the exception of ote mun- icipality, United Counties Council in Cobourg last week, adopted a report grouping member munici- palities for assessment under the new coubty-wide school board. Later in the one-day session Reeve S. J. F. MeMillan of Ain- wick Township asked to have the matter re-opened for discussion. H1e said he intended to object to the grouping of Alnwick with Campbellford, Seymour, Percy and Hastings Townships. The township, he said, has, al- ways be en iassociated with the, municipalities to the south (par- ticularly in the Alnwick, Haldi- mand Township School Area Board). 1Mr! McMillan and his seconder were the only ones to vote in favor of reopening the subject and the motion was defeated. The former warden said he had misuwlerstood the disposition of the sehoo0l'- ommittee report anid when it came up at the committee stage. Council had, however, already approved the report ln its entir- ety. Clerk Kenneth Symons in- formed Reeve. MeMillan an ap- peal could be filed with the coun- ty judge. Based on the 1967 provincially- equalîzed assessment the total ap- proximate assessment for public sehool purposes is $353,648,000. Separate School assessment is $22,983,000. The . Counties of Northumber- land and Durham with a popula- tion of slightly less' than 89,000 are entitled to a 16-member board - 15 publie sehool trustees and one separate school trustee. One public sehool trustee will represent approximately$2,0- 000 assessment. The co4sultative committee un- der Hope Township Reeve Weston Banister spent considerable time trying to group member munici- palities for equitable representa- tion. lie told council municipal boun- daries were respected to facilitate nominations and elections. "By dividing municipalities in- to portions and redistributing them here and there in groups, the assessment could be" brought, dloser to the base of approximate- ly $23,000f,000 per trustee," Mr. ,Banister stated. "However, we sincerely feel the arrangefient as presented will be a workable arrangement and will be easier to implement." The grouping of Cavan, South Monaghan and Millbrook resulted in the only group falling short of the base assessment figure where three municipalities wereý group- cd to h4ve only one representa- tive. They have a combined assess- ment of $16,395,649. Other groupîngs are: Cartwright and Manvers, with a combined assessment of $23,- 767,311, represented by one trus- tee, Darlington and Bowmanville, $76,998,595 assessment, three trus- tees. Hope, Clarke and Nee6astle $54,02î,,972, two representatives 1Murray, Brighton Township, Brighton Village, Cramahe, Col- borne, $46,322,601, with two trus- tees. Campbellford, Seymour, Percy, Alnwick, Hastings, $41,933,293, combined assessutent, two repres- entatives. Cobourg, Hamilton,.llaldimand, $65,475,634, with three trustees. Port Hope, remainfing separate with $28,729.669 assessment and a single trustee. .These figures will be used for the election of trustees. V%ere municipalities.are group- ed together to elect two or more trustees (Cobourg, Hamilton, Hal- dimand) each elector may vote for two or more trustees (in this case three) but hie catnot vote more than ontre for each position. Nominations will be held inthe muni cipality with the largest ass- essment (Cobourg) and the clerk will act as chief returning officer. It is understood, the system will be reviewed every four years to ensure representation adheres to the original base of $23,000,000 per trustee.
