Because 'Of The Lloydminster Municipal Amalgamation Act, 193,0 (193,0, chap. 54), the public school in that amalgamated municipality is in a special position as it need not necessarily be under the Alberta School Act.

(2) This Act, with the necessary changes being made, applies to the Lloydminster Public School District." 4. Assistance toward the purchase of a site and equipment is discontinued.

Section 5 presently reads: "5.

(1) A school division may apply to the board for assistance towards the construction or purchase of a school building and the purchase of a site and equipment for a school bui,lding.

(2) The school division shall give to the board such information concerning tbe school building and the site and equipment of the school building that the school division proposes to contruct or purchase as the board may require (

a) as to the necessity for the proposed construction or purchase, having regard to existing and available facilities, (

b) as to the nature and suitability thereof, and (

c) as to the method of the financing, whether by borrowing or otherwise." 5. Hereafter certification will only be required where work on school construction is on a day-labour scheme. Subsection (6) of

section 6 presently reads: "

(6) Upon certification by the Minister that a contract has been let or that work has commenced with respect to a school building, one half of the grant authorized under subsection (1) shall be paid by the Provincial Treasurer to the school division applying for the grant."
