tenders called for school board secretary the advertisment in this paper soliciting tenders for the position of school secretary is drawing more or less comment from the ratepayers john scott present incumbent of the office declares the work done is well worth 100 per annum but the trustees or some of them are out to get it done more cheaply mr scott doesnt want the position if the section is unwilling to pay n fair recompense for work done and so john says if anyone wishes to take it on for less then it is their privilege tenders close this sfatur- daysoine ratepayers censure the trus tees claiming it is a niggardly thing to do but mr forsyth chairman of the board defends the stands by saying it is the only thing the trus tees could do there is no douht about it but that if the trustees want the work done for less money the fair procedure is to advertise the position open and on the other hand if a majority of the trustees want to pay john scott or anyone else a 100 for their services it is entirely in the hands of the trustees mr william wilson of stouffville called on mr and mrs a b matthews one day recently pte irobert liscombe was home with his father mr haivey
