the chairman appeared before mar kham township council and mr ashforth a member of the deputation gave council a pic ture of the need for such a school he said that the board which handles schools at rich mond hill woodbridge and thornhiu was presently pay- fng metro for sixteen students attending schools for technical training he said that there would possibly be more attend ing such schools if it were not for the fact that the parents had to pay the cost of transpor tation deputyreeve dean and coun cillor watson placed a motion before reeve clark but before he could put the motion chair- man rumble spoke out strongly in opposition he questioned the concern of the township as to the extent of school costs when without discussion they would pass a motion to raise nearly half a million dollars or at least rec ommend that the county do so he said that while the actual school building did not differ greatly from any ordinary high school the maintenance costs soared fie said it cost 200 more to educate one student in this type of school than in aca demic just where do you think the coss of education are going i hope this council knows but if they do thv are apparently not giving

exist ed over them except that exer cised by council this deputation came here to present a request for the raising of funds a request pass ed by the majority of the board members i think the chairman

extra cost but felt that the present source of funds the county might not be available again for some time and press ed to have council pass the re quest maintenance cost of this board now went up 72 last year said mr rumble reeve clark reminded the had done so before when rich mond hill requested another school reeve clark placed the mo tion before council and it pass ed without a dissenting voice addressing mr rumble mrs james said if you know of a better way to do this than by majority vote you better bring it forward i dont know of board that the municipal board a worse one in this case re- could reject the request and i plied mr rumble sunday school lesson beautiful sets of decorated glassware on display at neville iances lesson for november 20 psalms 96 103 golden text bless
