PAGE FOUR 3 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1951 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 "WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 HIGH SCHOOL BOARD EXPLAINS INCREASED BUDGET James C. Taylor Going Mayor Asks Full Explanation Of Education Levy Passed unanimously by the Whitby District High School Board, the 1951 budget for operation of Whitby and Brooklin High Schools has been adopted. Section eight of the budget, given in full below, lists 12 reasons showing why the $78,842.18 budget will require an increase of no less than $25,412.48 in tax levies over last year. Mayor William Elliott, apparently this budget accounts for 3.7 mills, disturbed by the pending tax rate jump of which has acted on behalf of the municipality by having the town treasurer send a letter to the High School Board, requesting full information on the budget and methods of computing it. This matter has been referred to the finance committee which will probably meet with council at an early date. Prepared by Chairman of the o-- Finance Committee W. D. Thomson and John Hare, the budget is ag- companied by 'a full and intelligent explanation. Mr. Hare reminded his colleagues that the Board is duty- pound to adhere to its budget. The report of the committee reads: 1. Expenditures shown in the pudget represent the estimated ex- penditures of the Management Committee and the Property Com-~ mittee already approved by the Board, estimated cost of transpor- tation, estimated fees payable to other boards for district pupils at- tending schools operated by such boards, the 1951 payment on Town of Whitby debentures, estimated in- terest payable on bank loans, the estimated amount of capital out- lays and the small deficit carried over from 1950. In connection with these expenditures it is to be noted that the estimates of the Manage- ment Committee ahd the Property Committee show very small in- creases being less than the total in- crease for teachers' salaries. It is also to be noted that, for the first time, this Board has found it neces- sary to borrow from a bank with the resulting necessity of providing for payment of the bank interest. It should be noted tha' the provision of an amount to meet the deficit of a previous year will not recur, Grants Decreased p 2. The general legislative grant shows a decrease of $6,162.63 from the grant estimated for 1950 and a decrease of $573.81 from the grant actually received in 1950. These de- creases show clearly the effect of the new grant regulations upon the finances of this Board and, as they came into effect in 1950 after our 1050 budget had been adopted on the basis of the old regulations and without any warning that such a change would be made, the fact that we ended 1950 with a small deficit: instead of a moderate sur- plus can be attributed solely to this unforeseen change in grants. Your Committee is strongly of the opinion that action should be taken by boards generally to protest to the Department of Education against changes in grant regula- tions being made in such a manner. 3. Your Committee also notes that there appears to be a tendency to reduce the general legislative grant by the elimination of items of expenditure from the "approved cost of education". In our particu- lar case we are losing 70% of the amount of the rent which we pay to the Brooklin Public School Board because amounts paid for rented classrooms have now been elimin- ated from the approved cost of edu- cation. There appears to be no rea- sonable explanation for this change in the regulations. Fees Smaller . 4. It should be noted that fees payable by The Pickering District High School Board for Pickering and Ajax pupils in 1952 will be sub- stantially reduced because those pupils will presumably be leaving our schools in June of this year and that such payments will cease alto- gether after 1952. . 5. Owing to the matters men- tioned above and referred to more particularly in a subsequent para- graph, the amount to the raised by taxes in 1951 will be $37,496.09 as compared with $12,083.61 in 1950, an increase of $25,412.48. 6. The division the tax levy be- tween the Town of Whitby and the Township of Whitby is 63.56% to the Town of Whitby and 36.44% to the Township of Whitby. This di- vision is based upon an equalized assessment for the Town of Whitby of $4,424,736.00 and for the Town~ ship of Whitby of $2,536,808.00.

Dave Williams Just Misses 450 Bowling Score After being in operation over a year, County Bowl fans witnessed what appeared to be a perfect game on Saturday only to have 'a five pin standing after eleven perfect strikes. Dave Williams was the bowler. It was a tough break. Dave was nearly ready to claim the 50 dollar bill which is the reward for a perfect game of 450. Previous to this game Dave had already bowled two games of 373 and 363 then this game of 4456 to give him to our knowledge the high triple of Ont, 1181. Only. recently Dave has started to bowl at the County Bowl and we consider him a good sport and a real bowler and hope he will get that perfect game soon.

"I need not elaborate upon the purpose of its donation but I do think we can all take a lesson from the patience, perservance and the many hours devoted by the Queen in its making. "It is not necessary for me to re- late to you the many good works and activities of the Daughter of the Empire. They are well known to you all. The I.O.D.E. is a national organization which has done and will do much in guiding the des- tiny of Canada, for which every loyal citizen is proud. Whitby is honored in having us, the Vice- president of the National Chap- ter (Mrs. 8.

In High School Halls By BARBARA KNIPS Congratulations to Nancy Reid and Helen Ormiston, Junior and Senior winners at fhe Tamblyn Speaking Contest at Whitby High School. It's pretty tough to get up and speak to a large group but ap- parently Nancy and. Helen found no difficulty for both speeches were excellent. Congratulations also to the run ners-up Ann Cuddy and Jo-Ann Doner. A sad note in this week's activity is the defeat of our Junior Basket- hall team, They were fighting it out with Cobourg for the Junior "B" championship but after two hard-fought games it was Cobourg who came out on top. The Senior boys fared better. In fact they won their Senior "B" championship, and against Bow=- manville for that matter. Of course winning a championship is won- derful but when Whitby wins over their arch-rival Bowmanville it's time for celebration. The Senior Girls' team well on their way. The league champions ship is already theirs even though they play one more game. tied in Purple and Gold are House standings. Please kids! Pay for your Hi-Lite!
