An Act respecting the

Tilbury Area Public School

and the William J. Miller Trust

Preamble

Howard Herman, John Fantin and Douglas Edwards, who are the trustees for

the William J. Miller Trust (the "Miller Trust"), and the Municipality of

Chatham-Kent have applied for special legislation respecting the

trust. The Miller Trust was established by The Tilbury Public

School Board Act, 1966 for the benefit of Tilbury Public School. Since

then, municipal and school board restructuring has rendered some of the

existing terms of the trust ambiguous. The applicants wish to amend the

provision governing the appointment of trustees and to clarify the purposes

for which the capital and income of the trust can be used.

It is appropriate to grant the application.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

(1) The William J. Miller Trust,

established by

section 1 of The Tilbury Public School Board Act,

b) to provide scholarships, bursaries and prizes for students and former

students of the Tilbury Area Public School.

Same

(3) Income from the trust that is not used in one year may be

used in a subsequent year for the purposes described in subsection (2).
