At these meetings representatives of the then district school boards 0f!l.V from the districts were in attendance. Following the meetings an or- tlcr-in-Councll was passed on June 17. 1949. which set up School Division No. 1. A copy lof the Minute follows: .

Their application was favourably T9C9iV9fl by the Department of Education. and the trustees were instructed to institute a Van Service. and to provide an .5. ditlonal room at East Royalty to enable the children from Union Road to attend that school. A provisional Board of trustees was appointed by the Government. For administrative purposes the larger area of ad. ministration was divided mo two zones. Zone No. 1 embraces ap- Dt-oxlmately the area formerly contained hi the districts of Parkdale and spring Park. zone No. 1 embraces the remaining territory in the Division.

Some of the orig- inal distrlcts would lose much of their more valuable assessabl properties while others would correspondingly gain. On the other hand. if the Division were broken up into the original dis- tricts. including the creation of a new school district at Winsloe Station which would then appear to be imperative. some new schools would have to be erected. while some of the present facili- lies might not be required. Fin- ancially such a course would be wholly impracticable. In addition to this. the problem of allocating the capital indebtedness equitably among the the Division would present a ma- jor problem. If the total indebt- edness were allocated to the dif- ferent districts on the basis of the assessed value of the proper- ties within each area. those who did not receive any benefits from the union would be severely pen- alized. whereas those that did receive new schools would ob- tain disproportionate benefits. On the other hand. if the capital in- debtedness were divided on the basis of benefits received some of the smaller districts with a low tax potential would be sad- dled with an indebtedness far be- yond their capaclty to pay.
