confirmed the report that both mt zion and balaam schools will be closed permanently at the conclusion of the june term the balsam students which will number about 10 will be transported by bus to cedar creek a few miles to the west mt zion pupils estimated at about 30 will attend the school in greenwood mr gibson said that the closing of the school at mt zion was favoured by the majority of ratepayers in that community following several public mccpnes he said that in all likelihood the board would have kept it open for at least one more year he said that the building vs in a fair state of repair but the former trustees had experienced some difficulty in retaining a qualified teacher the structure was erected in 1875 considered unfair the balsam school is one of the oldest in the town ship the condition of the building is not suitable and the attendance is small the board chairman said that it would only be fair for the balsam children to receive the same educa tion service as other pupils in the area since they were charged the same rate the altona school will remain open but grades 7 and 8 will be transported to cither greenwood or green river one room containing grades 1

public school area no 1 with the exception of audley in spite of opposi tion expressed by members of the board the tribune was prompted to check into this policy after sev eral complaints were received from residents in sections where a sizeable surplus had been re corded at the end of 1964 they felt that they should have re ceived the benefit of this money when the rate was established for 1965 board chairman donald gib son of brougham said that the decision to impose a flat rate across the area followed a re- ommendation from the inspec tor he said that the members had asked that this method be changed but the inspector was opposed he felt that the mill rate should be levelled and we should start from scratch he said he admitted however that the board did not feel that the policy was fair little maintenance the chairman said that in some instances individual boards had piled up a consider able surplus because they ne glected to spend money on their school buildings he said that some properties now under the jurisdiction of the area board were in a poor state of repair he said too that sectional trustees had been advised to cut their surplus accounts to the bone in 1964 he noted that in fact the takeover of accounts would result pretty well in an adequate surplus for the area board to carry the range per sectoin was from a minimum of several hundred dollars to a
