"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
