The meeting was called to order, at ap-roximately 8.20 Pm with Reeve Alward, acting as Chairman, and with Councillors Hoshal, Bugler, Xauf- Mann, and Louckr in attendance. III At the opening of the meeting Reeve Alward advised all present that their cases would be heard, in open Court, but that the decision of the Court would be reserved, and that they would be advised by mail after due consideration to each case, the decision of the Court. Mrs. Annie James, was first called, h-r complaint being that she fig- ured her assessment too high owing to the condition of th• house. The decision of the Court was to cut her rate from $2.05 a Sq. Ft. to $1.80 per Sq. Foot. lowering her overal assessment by $100.00 Mrs. Peter Scott next took the chair, her comralint being that the assessment had been raised by $25.00 for no apparent reason, as no improvements had been made. The court tried to explain, that her ass- essment should have been for $25.00 higher for the year 1954, that the former assessor had copied the figures from the field sheet to the Assessment Notice and Roll in Rrror. Decision, Ass. Confirmed. Mrs. Minnie Underhill was next, her complaint being that she had made no improvements, and yet her assessment had rais-d by $50.00. The assessor, explained that he had this 'hear included in her assessment the sum of $155.00 being an assessment for her plumbing, consisting of 1 bath tub, 2 sinks, 1 laundry tub. Aftte ani explination By Mrs. Underhill, that none of these were sur,lted by running water, and that the tub was never used, it was the suggestion of the assessor, that Mrs. URderhill's assessment be reverted to the same as last year. The dec- ision of the Court being as suggested by the assessor. Mr. & Mrs. Morley Claus next took the chair, their complain* being 131112 a raisell in assessment when no improvements had been made. The assessor explained that the reason for the raise, was because the assessor in the year 1953 had failed to notice the fact they had a bath room, consisting of toilet, tub, shower, end wash stand. The decision of the Court, was that the assessment be confirmed. Mr. Ralph Jackson was next, his complaint being that his assessment had been raised by $25.00 for no apparent r'ason. The assessor showed Mr. Jaokaon, the field sheet as worked out by the former assessor, and could give no reason for the difference in the figures, unless, done deliberately or in error, in copying from the field sheet to the Ass. Notice and Roll. Decision of the Court, that the Assessment be confirmed. Mr. F. Stephenson was next, his c-'mplaint being that his Business Ass. had been raised by $100.00. The assessor, explained that ` e had only copied the figures from last years field sheet, and that he could give no expli- nation for the raise, unless, done delibera`ely or in error by the prev- ious Assessor. The Assessor also pointed out to Mr. Stephenson and the Court the fact that Mr. Stephenson's assessment had not been out in half as were all others in the Village before figuring the Assessment ofi a retail store, at 35%. He also explained that had this been done, his ass- essment would have been as shown in 1953. ( $800.00). The decision of the Court was that the Assessor, change the field sheet to read, as it should have read, and to lower the Business assessment to $800.00. iio Mr. Jim ?Mott was next, his compalint being that he was assessed too high in comparison with similar houses. The Assessor explained that the system for assessing was as set down by the Ontario Government, and was on an equalized baits, so much a square foot, the whole Village being assesed in the same manner, and althou he maybe didn't need or used half of his house, the area was there, and there was no choice but to assess him according. The dedision of the Court was that the Ass. be confirmed. The balance of the cases heard by the Court were read from the Notice of Appeal from assessment by the Clerk. The first being from Yrs. J. Stansell, her oompalint being that she could not see why her assessment had been raised by $700.00 from the year 1951. and with her income, that she could not afford to pay such a high tax. The decision of the Court being, that althou, Mrs. Stansell maybe didn't need or use, all her house, the rate as set out, was fair and equal, and by reason of having such a large house was of her own choosing, therefore the assessment be confirmed. The next case heard was of Mr. 7. Wolfe, of F rndale Mich., his complaint being :hat the assessment was too high owing to the fact that the house was used solely as a summer cottage. The decision of the Court in this case, was that the house was an all year round house, and could be lived in at all times, therefore, it was by their awn choosing, that the house was only used in the summer. The rate as applied was fair and equal, there- fore Un the assessemnt be confirmed. Next was a complaint by Mr. Mabel Bush of 'rieau Ont., she claiming that her house was beyond repair, with sills and beams all gone, roof beyond repair eta. The Courts decision, was that the ra-e as applied at MQ $1.05 a Sq. Ft. a sub-standard rate, was reasonable, and therefore the assessment be confirmed. The next case was that of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, who claim•d their assessment had been raised $25.00 from last year, and that being a railway the assessment was :o remain unchanged for at least five years. The decision of the Court, after reviewing the figures of the assessor on his field sheet, was that the Rly had been under-assessed last year, and that this assessment also be confirmed.

All The meeting was called to order, at aeeroximately 8.15 PM, by Reeve Alward, who gave a short address, pointing out to the Assembly, the reason for having called the meeting. The Council and School Board wanting the Rate-payers, to hear for themselves, from the School Board, the'r reasons for having petitioned the Council to close the Continuation School. Yr. Alward then gelled upon Mr. Bert McCord the Chairman IN of the School Bd. to rise and give the meeting a talk on the affairs of the Continuation School. Mr. Mc Cord on coming to the front of the room, pointed out that he had a number of figures to show to the people, and wished that he had a bla -k board, to show them on. Rev. Graham, said as how there was a black board at his Church, and that he would be glad to go and get it. His offer was accepted. With the setting up of the black boadd Mr. Mc Cord went on tb tell lust how the Provincial Grants were based. That they were based on population, assessment, and average daily attendance of the pupils. The enrolment for the year 1953 was 33,by the end of April it was down to 31, so that by the end of the school year the average daily attendance was 26 pupils. The grant for last year was $3,687.83, the grant this year was $2,341.12, so that there was $1,346.71 less to work on than a year ago. Also that the school Bd. had been ov,rpaid by the Government by $2000.00, but that the government was willing that only half of that amount be repaid, and that could he paid in instalments of $363.29 a year for three years. He also point-d out that last year they had asked for $3200.00 for the Con. School, this year they had to ask for $4000.00, and that if the expenses remained the same as last year, they would still go behind. In 1952 it had cost $7,764.75 to operate the Con. School, the expected grant for this year would amount to $2,341.12, there6ore $5,425.63 would have to be raised from the Trust-es levy. The Trustees levy having been set at $4000.00, that would lave a deficit of $1425.63 There having been a surplus in the bank at the end of the last year, amounting to $1000.00 that would still leave them in the hole by„=425.00 for the current year. It was Mr. Mc Cords suggestion, that the Sohool Board, advertise in the Toronto Globe and Mail for a Principal at $4,000.00 and an assistant at $3,200.00, to see if it would be possible to obtain teachers ( acceptable to the board ) to see if they couldn't possibly carry on with the Continuation School. Rev. John Graham was the next to come to the front and give his views on the subject. He told how a delegation of the Council and School Bd. had gone to Toronto, to interview the Minister of Education, in regard the amount that had been WI overpaid to the School Bd. for the years since the Villages incorporation. He explained how the Minister, was willing to cut the overpayment in half, so that instead of the School Bd. having to pay back $2,000.00, they would only he held liable for $1,000.00. This amount to be paid back over a period of three years, this amounting to $363.00 per year. He then went ^n to explain how the board had realized from its inception, that something was going to have to be done about the Continuation school, that here It was in May, and that a decision was necessary, immediately. It was talked over and a decision reached, that they ( the School Bd. ) would petition the Council to ask the County Council to close the Continuation school, and for the Council to provide a High School for the Children for the coming term of 1954-55. Also to provide for a Public School Area for the Port Burwell Public School. Mr. Graham gave Ass his reasons for voting it closed, Lst. that while talking to the Minister of "duoation, he was told by him that Continuation Schools, were on their way out, that it was the policy of the Government to provide the best education possible, to as large a number as possible, at a minimum of cost. 2nd1 that Local Schools just could not provide the up to date equipment that the larger schools had. 3Rd. that it was next to impossible to secure proper qualified teachers at the salary the Village was prepared to pay. 4th. 74111Pct4 local Con- ttnuation school provide proper competition with High Schools? 5th. That the Minister of Education had pointed out to them, that there used to be a total of 255 Continuation Schools, and that bow there was only 66 left in existanoe in the Province, and that they would all7be gone within two or three years. The reason for this being, that the Local Continuation schools would not be able to pay the salaries of proper qualified XXIIi teachers, therefore they would not be able to secure teachers, and would of necessity have to go to the larger High Schools. He also pointed out that the Board had been told, that if the Con- tinuation school was closed, that school 03 Bayham would came into the Village Public School. Mr. Alward then got up to state his case, and pointed out that he could not see how any person, could be on two sides of the fence at once. That a person was either in favor of keeping the School open or of closing it. Mr. Alward then invi-ed anyone in the hall to rise and give their views. Several people rose and mentioned on several points, such as eating problems in the High Schools, etc. It was from this discussion that it was mov^d by Rev. John Graham, seconded by Albert Brown, that this Rate-payers meeting request the School Board to advertise in the papers for a Principal at the rate of $4,500.00 per annum, an assistant at $3,500.00 per annum for the Continuation School. That in the event of being unable to secure teachers, the boys and girls be sent to a High School on a cost per pupil basis. Carried. It was moved by r. Boyd, sconded by A.

Next to rise and give his views !as Mr. B.
