Kendal Public School Financing Blocked by Ontario Board
In a May 8 letter to Clarke Township Council the Ontario Municipal Board said it had no jurisdiction to approve funding for the Kendall Public School addition since the 1967 tax rate had already been set. Council later met May 19 reapplying for approval. A separate May meeting rescinded a prior road contract award to Municipal Oiling and awarded it to Harnden and King Construction Ltd after Harnden and King had the lowest bid. Council also authorized the Road Superintendent to advertise for tenders for a tractor and mower.
