home and the grave- the church notices port perry and picker ing twp claim from county ontario county has an unusual school wrangle on its hands which has led to a law suit yet undecided by the courts the village of port perry has filed suit against the county to be heard on may 11 while the township of pickering stands by ready to take the plunge with a similar action although it has not done so these two muni cipalities are claiming g000 loss they contend that through an error over a period of years their school board secretaries failed to collect from the county the statu tory grants coming to them for the cost of educating county pupils the county has legal advice saying they are not liable while port perry has legal advice claiming the county is liable the port perry suit may form the basis of settlement in the ease of pickering one would imagine as the claims are similar and it is possible the township will not press their claim until the outcome of the port perry case is known
