CONSIDERED REQURST OF THE "NEW SCHOOL SECTION i « Kingston Township al Representative Made Concerning the Work of the Years, On Friday morning the Frontenac county council, now in session in the court house, considered a , school question of some years standing, which developed somewhat pointed debate. A deputation of James ell and Arthur Kemp, with S.- A Truscott, the imspector of public schools for South Frontenac, apgear- ed and asked ' for the establishment of a new school section in the town: ship of Kingston. Thia school matter has been the air" jor Some years, indeed, as one councillor, remarked, twenty. A temporary * arrangement was arrived at by a deputation 'which 'recently considered it, that two families on the Perth Road, that' are in the ninth section, should attend school in No. B. Mr. Truscott stated that this would somewhat rectify matters, but not be altogether satisfactory. He felt that under the present ditions the request of the ratepayers for the mew school wis reasonable. dames Bell and Arthur Kemp each gave statements regarding the school siturtion in these cections of the township, backing the petition for permission to build the new school. The fact that * children of all resi- dents on the Perth Road, from Kings- ton five miles out, have to go, both east and west, five miles through the lields to attend school, was impressed. Mr. Bell told of the attitude of the township council when the question had been considered, saying that the vote against it was controlled hy ratepayers having no children. petition to the County Council 'was representative of about one-thind of the ratepayers. It was noted that thirteen children in No. 8 section are attending the city school at the King ston G.1.R. Junction. Councillors Hawkey. and Coulter, reeve and deputy reeve of Kingston jtownship, spoke to the question. "in The Jormer was aware that the ratepayers 'petitioning bad a just grievance, and (wished to see it satisfactorily arrang- ied. But he would not agree to split up the township. There would be a |**how!" from the ratepayers, and par- | tela ly 'n the sections concerned. 'Mp, Coulter was = inclined to endorse the inspector's suggestion. The action of the council of the mat- ter was weighed ut considershle length, the following resolution of Councillor {Donaldson for a time meeting with ,objeetion, and most of the township reeves expressed themselves. Finally this resolution of Councillors Donald- fon and Wensley, appointing Warden Kennedy an arbitrator, with Judge Pics and Inspector 'Iruscott, to re port. on the matter, was carried. e- To Petition for Increase The council will petition the public works. depariment of the province for increased grants for geod roads.
