"Crawford Kilian deserves credit for taking
the time and effort to show his interest

in the North Shore through a well-reasoned
Tetter to the Editor which was featured in
the Sun of Monday, January 31st. His letter
dealt with that newspaper's coverage of
pollution questions and the reasons for
Crawford's opposition to the 'third
crossing'*

COLLEGE COUNCIL MEETING WITH SCHOOL BOARDS
"Because of your interest I would like to
Tet you know right away what happened at
the Council meeting with the School Boards
last Monday evening.

"It was a very important meeting as it was
the first time the boards had met
collectively to hear about the progress
and site plans of the College. Our Council
members spoke very well on the present
facilities problems, the immediate need re
this year for the planned move to Inter-
River, and the request for emergency
borrowing approval (under Section 254 of
the Act) for approximately $1.45 million.

Mr. Soles and Mr. Espley of the Department
of Education also spoke very strongly in
support of the College facilities need for
this year and Mr. Soles especially praised
the success of the College in the face of
‘most difficult’ space conditions.

"The reaction of the Boards was generally
one of understanding and sympathy regarding
the need as presented to them. However,
there were mixed feelings over which of
two directions to take: emergency borrowing
or referendum. In answering questions we
were able to clarify the problem of
referendum; i.e., that a referendum for
the $1.45 million this year and another
one next year for the longer range capital
needs might be politically disastrous,
while on the other hand we would not be
able to have one referendum package for
the whole thing ready in time to give us
the money for any kind of a move in 1972
or even in 1973. The Boards, of course,
did not make any decision at the meeting.
The College Council will now write each
one of the Boards formally requesting
funds for emergency capital expenditures.
We should know the answers in about two
weeks...." - A.H. Glenesk
