Mr. Garland Cathcart met with Council requesting that in the road closing of an unused road at lots 14 and 15 in the fifth con- cession that the north section of 40 to 50 rods be left open. As a result of this request Council was obliged to exclude the whole of the road from the road closing by-law. Of the six sections throughout the Township to be closed two were objected to and thus withdrawn from the by-law. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ardron, by letter, requested Council's atten- tion to a road allowance along itheir property which had become unusable except by a jeep. Coun- cil is to investigate this section of road. Mr. Paul Grant, representing some ten petitioners, asked for a written reply to thçir request for road improvements at lots 30 and 31, concession 4. Council is to in- vestigate this section of road dur- ing a road inspection on Octob- ~er 11th. A by-law was passed rescinding a former hy-law and setting up a Planning Board for the Township of Clarke. Messrs. Roy Foster, F. Gray, Robert Simpson, Leslie Mc- Gee, Sid Lancaster, Arthur Lowe and Wayne Bailey were appointed to the Board. A further by-law passed by the Council allowed for the writing- off of unpaid taxes and penalties in the amount of $2159.72. A by-law was passed for the proposed road program, storm sewers, curbing and paving in an amnount of $108,700.00. Of this proposed amount $38,080.00 is to be collected under local improve- ment within the Village of Orono A by-law for the borrowing of $279,507.00 for the Kirby Centen- nial School was passed as well as by-law to debenture for a sum cof $50,695.00. as a part of the cost of the Kendal Public School Carruthers Defines Education Pelicy Alex Carruthers, Progressive Conservative Candidate, speaking to the local executive at Black- stock on Friday evening, outlined his party's position with respect to education grants. At the present time provincial grants for education in Durham County, he said, were over 80% for low assessed areas of the pub- lie and separate school system. Cartwright township receives 68.9%, Cavan 86.79%, Clarke 67.76%, Darlington 80.41%, Hope 78.64% and Manvers 82.15%. The cost of the new addition to the North Cavan School, the former member stated, would be covered by a 100% grant for cap- ital construction, while the new central school in' Manvers Town- ship would -receive almost a sim- ilar percentage. In 1962, Mr. Carruthers said, the grants for secondary schools serving the county were $1,098,- 793; in 1967 the same grants tot- alled $2,024,402. The proposed acceptance-by the province of 80% of the cost of education, would, he said, dis- criminate against the rural areas of Durham County, and would favour, at great cost to the tax- payer, the large urban centres with a wealth of industrial and commercial assessment. The question, Mr. Carruthers stated, is where the extra $400,- 000,000 is to come from. In the long run he said it must eventu- ally come out of the taxpayer's pocket and at great cost. addfition. Accounts were passed in the a- mounts of $18,326.54 for general, $1,292.31 for Welfare, $11,272.00 for road and $2,043.49 for the Or- ono Police Trustees.
