Monday council received a request fromn the arena comn- mittee askîng that a contract be let to Ron Robinson in an amount of $12,335.00 fo, the installation of the storm sewer. The committee point- ed out that the tender specification had been met by Robinson and that an addit- ional precast manhole had been included which was feit desirable. The Robinson price was noted not the lowest but due to additional manhole was preferred. The low price of $12,000 was submitted by Tripp Construction. Counc.

GEORGE CAMERON Mr. Cameron stated that local taxpayers were paying a big tax dollar in education but not obtaining the return that should be expected. H1e also said that forty percent of those wbo start in hîgh school neyer reach grade 13 even though a high percent score high in scholastic achieve- ment. - Cameron said there must be a change when one consideres there is a million out of work in Canada and yet industry must import skilied labour. "I believe there are weaknesses in the system," he said and we rmiist speak to the people, the graduated students, the drop-outs, tea- chers and parents to find out what is wrong. The candidate said he had meet been a member of the Board during 75 and 76 and as a trustee became too involved in such as busing and buildings with the resuit he did not have time to see what was going on in the ciass- room.
