Plans will be prepared and offered for tcndcr as soon as possible Nor For One Board Mr Crane said he did not fav or township school board as he felt that the personal services rendered by the small board members meant considerable to the betterment of the operations He admitted that larger board might hire efficient management which might he thought lessen the boards contact with the schools He agreed that for the inspector and other officials in cluding the township clerk one board would simplify many prob lems While on thesubjcct of schools we should not forget the pupils Spccial

traffic by car is quite heavy Behind Closed Doors Reeve Todd has inaugurated new plan of holding council meet ings The council met on Mom day at the regular time as set by bylaw but instead of being scat cd in thevcouncll room which is open to the public the members moved into the clerks office where wilh doors closed they transacted and discussed the bus incss before council Following morning with the public closed out they then met in the afternoon in the council chambers and motions regarding the matters discussed in the morningwere read by tho rceve and passed without further dis cussions one motion that Blythe Blacks tender for the garbage contract for the north section be accepted The motion gave no mention of the amount to be paid As no discussion was heard it is not known that this was the lowest tender received Another motion that bylaw be received for the appointment of the road supervisor be accept ed did not state at what salary this official was appointed The department requires new bylaw if any change is made in the con tract The closing phrase of bylaw states that it vas passed in open council This bylaw was not passed as required in open council

the business of the township Reeve Todd claimed that the business of the council could be handled more quickly in commit tee if no public were present to distract or interfere They are being paid to conduct the public business and sliould give the time needed for this The discussions are part of public information The afternoon dragged along with the reports and matter aris ing from
