RATEPAYER LOOKS

BACK ON PREVIOUS

SCHOOL MEETINGS OF 30 YEARS AGO

IN RETROSPECT

At last week’s well-attended school meeting, this ratepayer was compar- ing the gathering with previous ones going back a full thirty years. I have heard the gentleman himself claim that the first school secretary at Wil- liams Lake was Alex Henderson who pre-empted the property now occu- pied by Nick Richards but at the first meetings that I attended, the secre- tary was Walter Slater and the chair- man. was the late Dr. Agnew. One of the experiences of the secretary was to have an irate lady who neither paid taxes nor had children going to shool invade his place of business on a busy train day to deliver a personal

reprimand over the outdoor toilets. Up until 1930 the meetings were held in the waiting room at the rail- way station. At the time of meeting in 1924 the smoke from forest fires was so thick that it was diffieult to see the Log Cabin Hotel across the road. Ir that smokey atmosphere, the secretary demurred at reading the minutes while it required quite an effort to either make or decline a nomination to office. The following year the secretary made a personal canvass to induce enough ratepayers to gather to authorize the paying of |the teacher's salary; as most citi- zens had erected homes on leased land, just 9 residents of the town- site and 17 of us outside were legally entitled to vote. It was quite differ- ent three years later when a petition to Victoria had the first meeting set aside. At the second gathering, I was one of those who sat on the floor while others leaned through the open windows and the overflow stood on the platform listening to the pro- ceedings through the open door. After an effort to elect a different

chairman had failed, and a govern- ment official had remarked, “We have a secretary elected by every Tom, Dick, and Harry who has no vote,” our scribe muttered ‘thanks,’ resigned on the spot and started for home. While he was being pacified and brought back, the chairman pro- duced a list of qualified voters that separated the 37 ratepayers in the assembly from those who had con- tributed complaints in lieu of taxes. Following that we elected the same man secretary for the third time that month,

The first meeting held in the new school was also hectic when a group of temporary residents stampeded others into voting sums in excess of those recommended by the trustees. This of course raised the mill rate so at the next meeting the school board mentioned a fixed sum ander which they could operate. This we accepted with alacrity before any- body could conjure up new ways of spending our money. Even as late as 1934, the mill rate was 8.44.
