School Board Teachers” Salaries A discussion took place with respect to the salaries

His worship the Mayor pointed out that the Council may not necessarily be concerned with rates of pay for the teachers but had the right to adjust the appropriation for salaries and the Board would have to fit its program to the amount of money budgeted for salaries.
Alderman Butler suggested that the Cityls position respecting the School Board Budget should be reviewed by the revisors of the City Charter.
A lengthy discussion took place on the question of increasing the number of pupils in each classroom to effect a reduction in the number of teachers required.
Dr. Marshall advised that the average number of pupils per classroom at present is 32, and he said that the School boundaries would have to be adjusted if the average was to be upgraded. He said it might also be possible to economize further by combining two classes at the elementary grades level.

He felt the Council might take note of this fact. His Worship the Mayor stated that the City is supposed to receive 23% of the cost of the Foundation Program which means the cost of education in the judgment of those in the ?royince as to what education should cost in the City of Halifax. Under the Pottier Formula, because property valuations are presumed to yield sufficient funds to pay for education at the rate of 80 cents per $100.00 and enough money to pay tor the Foundation Program, the City only qualifies for the minimum grant of 25% of the Program, This matter will he the subject of examination, collahoratio and study with the Prosincial Government in the next few months to present a case which may produce a better sharing arrangement, It was felt that the Pretince would welcome any constructive suggestions
from the City on this matter.

Aldermen Macdonald and wymnn arrived at 8200 P. M.
No representations were made in favour of the proposal.
The following letter was received from the Minister of Highways:
February 3, 1961
His Worship Mayor John E. Lloyd City of Halifax Nova Scotia.
Dear Mr. Mayor:
Council, February 9, 1961
Our discussion this morning concerning the above project was most useful. It leads me to believe that the first step to take is to see if
I agreement can be reached:
!
(a) on the location: (b) to have a design prepared.
Accordingly I now propose for the Gity°s consideration that:
(a) the location of the project be as shown in Figure 6 in the WhitmanwBenn Report, dated 10 November 1960, said Figure 5 being on the page thereof between pages 39 and 403
(b) the City and the Province should at once retain a suitable consultant and instruct him to prepare a design for the projects -5
‘
'
'
'
(c) the cost of preparing such design he paid for in the proportions ' of 60% by the Province and 4G% by the City.
The project referred to in this letter is defined as fol1ows° beginning on School Avenue at the westerly end of the approaches to ramps
*0“ and “D”
shown on said Figure 6 and continuing easterly across the boundary of the City
of Halifax to the junction of Bayers Road and Romans Avenue.
I suggest that a committee at two. consisting of the City“s Gommissioner of works and the Deputy Minister of Highways, should be appointed to instruct and advise the consultant. It might be left to the some comittee also to recommend a suitable consultant. any such recommendation would not be effective
until accepted by the City and Proeinee.
The acceptance of this proposal with reference to location and the design would not bind either the City or the Province'in any other eonnection. All other matters would remain open for discussion; including the property problem in the vicinity of Elliott Street.
May I respectfully request that the above proposal be considered as soon as possible.
Yours very truly,
fi.'_Sig1eti) Go 1. SMITH, MINISTER or HIGI-WAYS.
His Worship the Mayor pointed out that the Province of Nova Scotia,
in the first place, did its highway planning to bring this entrance to this
point at the Cityrs boundary and thus committed itself to a kind of an
expenditure which is being proposed. While it is a proposal to the City of
Halifax to share in a traffic device? to some extent, it is a fait aocompli
brought about by the planning, rightly or wrongly, of the Province of Nova
Sootia and, in fairness, this point should be firmly established. Reports
have been submitted on the matter as follows: {1} A: D. Margieon and Associates
Limited; {2} Whitman, Benn and Associates. The City staff reports nape
indicated that this particular site seems to he, uder all circumstances, the
best one for the construction of the traffic entrance.

Council, February 9, 1961
His Worship the Mayor expressed the thought that if the Uity and
the
Province enter into a partnership, that before final financial
arrangements
are made, that the partners ehould sit together and listen to
the representations
and not one be taking the full and sole responsibility
for the decision, while
the other does not hear the pleas and submissions made before
Council.
After short explanations by Aldermen 0“Brien and Greenwood,
the
following motion wee euhmittedz
That Council approve the linking of Bicentennial Drive with
Bayers
Road by means of a traffic improvement project to be designed
on the basis
of a report by Whitman, Benn and Associates made to the City
on November 10,”
1960:
That Council enter into an agreement with the Province of
Nova Scotia
for the retaining of design engineers for the projectg the
City being responsible
for 40 per cent of the cost of the design work only:
That Council reéerve for later consideration any negotiation with
respect to the cost of actual construction:
That the Gityg the Pxocince; ind the design engineers work
into the
final plans for the project the following preeinione:
1. A fair method of paying compeneation to any property owners
whose property
values are substantially reduced by reason of the decision
to locate the
project adjacent to their properties:
2. Safe and efficient routes for children crossing the highway
and/or Bayers‘
Road to attend schools and churches in the area;
3. A plan for the early development of recreation facilities on the public
lands affected by, but not required for the project:
4. Retention by the design engineers of qualified landscape architects to
ensure that the entire project in so landnceped as to make it
an aesthetically
attractive as possible? and blended into A firstmclasn residential
neighbourhood:
5. Provision that traffic be so planned and controlled that no unnecessary
through traffic will be pennitted to flow on residential Stféete in the area:
5» The Pouting of truck traffic into the City and from the City via the
F3i’Vi9V OVETPESS and thfi Arfiflale Rotary and not via Bayere Road;
7. Elimination through careful design of all possible nuisance from snow
removal, salt, dust and misdirected illumination. ._.51. .
Council, February 9, 1961
That further consideration be given to the traffic improvements which
may be required at intersections such as Connaught and Sayers as a result of
anticipated increase in traffic Ioweaentn
The motion was mcved by alderman O'Brien and seconded by Alderman
Greenwood.
