Georgetown votes to fund new public school amid growth
The Georgetown ratepayers backed a large majority for a $190000 school, authorizing debentures and approving continued board leadership. The editor notes many nonparents supported progress, and the town council gains authority to issue bonds as the community grows. The piece also recalls a Muskoka district trip describing scenery, tourism, and local concerns like army worms and resort business.
