sent area board to the separ ate sectional trustee boards turner forsyth and les fea- sby acted as spokesmen for lie delegation council members agreed that they were not familiar with the proper procedure regard ing such matters and would have to investigate further in to the details clerk john ash- enhurst informed the ratepay ers that because action was not taken before july 1st of this year it would not be legal to make the change before 115 whose idea was it in the iirst place to get this area board questioned councillor clarence bunker the department of educa tion pressed it answered reeve catherwood the township of uxbridge was hulldozod into it declar ed councillor dowswell our section will return to the old method when we get the chance his comments receiv ed a hearty round of applause whitchurch township sent out a questionnaire to the rate payers and then turned the i- dea of an area board down pointed out clerk ashenhurst this is a democratic country and i believe the issue should be put to a vote of the people exclaimed councillor john tell when this ques tion was first introduced three years ago many believed it should have been put to a vote its not fair for sections who have new schools to be forced to bear costs of new schools in other sections said mr forsyth when this area board was formed the inspector asked us to give it a fair trial and if we are dissatisfied we ctfuld return to our separate trustee boards exclaimed mr bruce taylor clerk john ashenhurst poin ted out that the one induce ment for a school area board was the fact that an extra s30c dollars grant was received it was certainly never spent in our section stated mr forsyth for that extra 300 they spent 500 called out a rate payer from the rear of the as sembly mr feasby pointed out that the one aggravating feature of the board was the neglect in publishing a complete finan cial statement one that cjuld be read and understood we want the matter to lie put to a vote this year evcn if it wont come into effect until 1951 demanded mr feasby an expression of opinion was called on he matter and at voted unanimously in favor of a public vote clerk ashenhurst stated that the council would receive a better expression of opinio if the vote was taken on the day of the municipal elections it would also save the ex pense of a double election commented councillor dows well councillor john ball re quested that the clerk investi gate the legality of having the vote on dec 7th town council delays decision on rent control stouffville municipal coun cil shelved any decision to continue rent control until next spring when the matter was presented at the last regu lar council meeting council was dealing with the letter from provincial authorities pointing out that while the government was withdrawing from the rent control field next march the municipali ties might if they desired continue it councillor ratcliff expressed the view that if government believed it unnecessary for them to continue the control the local council would do well to keep clear also rent control to toe properly carried out k is believed would require considerable supervision and rather than become involved in control machinery it would toe advis able to let the law of supply and demand govern the situa tion it is estimated that possibly ten percent of stouffvilles re- whitchurch tp

structed at vivian it was pointed out that only a few- years ago some consideration was given to closing the pres ent vivian school because there were less than a dozen pupils attending today due to the steady influx of new comers to the area the present school is crowded beyond cap acity and new accommodation must be provided during re cent discussions on school matters council has been re
