This raised many objections, te wblch Mr. Gould replied that il vas for the information of ratepayers that he vas insertiug these lct- trs. He vanted thern printed lu the jour- nais of the council fer distribution. Mr. Pringle sald il would look ridiculous fr the council te print a lot cf malter and .dd that it vas neot of sufficienl importance Le warrant action, and then pay extra ex- pense te have this broughl before the public. The motion for adoption cf the report vas votcd down, onlv Mesrs. Gould and Dows- well voting for it. Mr. Rosa rose and sald he believed the committee had been harably trcaîcd. He noved te refer the report back te thern for correction. Mr. Prinçlc said notice of an original mo- ion like thîs should be given. Mr. Mewbray rnoved a reconsideration cf he vote wbich killeri Mr. Gould's report, and Mr. Pringle raised the sarne objection. The warden overrulcd the objection and ,'oth Mr. Mowbray's and Mr. Rosa' motions were passed. The Warden interpreled Mr. Rosa' motion e mean that the council vas te go jute coro- nittee of the wbole. and left the chair, cail- ng Mr. Dingle te preside. Then instead of carrying eut the instructions of council the ornmilteceof the whole proceeded te discus the report and te again try te induce Mr. Gould te shear it of the uselcas matter. He conceded this on one point, but would go no further. Then Mr. Ross urged that his mc- tion had net been correctly interpreted ln going iet committce of the whole, as it vas nerely intended te refer the malter back te the standing committee on legislatiori and memorials. Business had nov get ie oan awful tringle, but Mr. Gould, after a lime, declared he had got his repGrt fixed right, and meved its adoption. Mr. Munre de- -nanded that every werd ef ih be read exact- ly as il viii appear when pr;nted, but this sias declined. Members began te lok around in ail directions te see what could be dene, and nebody appeared te know. It looked ver-y ruch as if a complication were setng in which would put an end te aIl or- der and business and kill the dying council before its time, when Mr. Pringle arose and rnoved that the commitice rise, and every- body shouted "Carried.
