The County Council placed PleshcrUin'a county as- sessment at $125,000, which is not so \ery far out, ah the actual asseminent ac- cording to tho roll just returned, IN $118,000. A CASE IN POINT \ few weeks ago The Advance pub- lished an article on Western real estate i a postiibiliiy fr speculation, and in the course of the article we said that there were as gocd or better op|K>rtuni- tie." in Ontario for speculation as ure to be found in the West. Toronto to-day offers many su,ch opportunities, but the harkk and sub division artists are also geltiuif lu their work there and for safety -nhuuUl be av<iided. The bet>t of invest- nitjnts me to be fouutl right within the present confines of tli city as evidenced by the following item from the News of Friday last, dealing with the name of iniiii who i very well known and e.steem- ed in this |>.iit The iteui reads : " Mr. C.

County Council Owen Sound AdvettiM-r Tlie County Council is havius a xonif- ^vhat strviiuous time. I: . i- tho cm- eiicrous applications for ({rantn to differ- -ent institutions und orgsniratiou.", there *re ininy extraordinary ei|>enditiireii necessary for replacing bridges and re- pairing roiulH (lunnged by the floods last ttpnuif.'' The Council will probably de- cide to isniie debenture* to meet the cott of new bridges. At the Tuesday . T n there were two pretty warm discussions- *The lirst arose over a report "f 'he House of Refuge Committee, which in- formed th Council that Mr. Thomas 11 itnts*, manager <.f the house of refuge, h*i notified the committee that unles* lie was given an increase of $100 in his alary he would resign at tho end of the year. The report was coniiderod in ;MIIIIIUII.-I- of the whole, when Mr. Ag- new moved that the House of Kefuge committee bu instructed to receive appli- ation* fot the |M*ition. Mr. Agnew thought jt W.IA well lo be prepared in ase Mr. Harncis did resign, to fill the position without delay. If they '(waited without doing anything until the Mo vcinber session, and Mr. Harness rebi(T n.i'ion came in then, they would be un able to till the place until January. They must not run the rUlc of being hehi up. Mi. Hell muvcd that the Council >nke no notion at present, )>ut the committee be empowered to get infonnstion frou other count ie a to salai ies, size of lions en, and farms, numbur i>f inmates, ant other matters pertinent to tlie question, A lengthy debate followed, in whicl Iho weight of opinion seemed to be I hut at his present s.ilary, $HOO, free house, light, bent and food supply, Mr. liar .nest was being well uaid. It wn also 'felt thul he hud taken the wrong couiso in demanding the increase in the way ho ihad. Mr. ARIICW'S motion carried by a large majority. Mr. Anew, xeconded by Dr. Mearni, introduced a bylaw to increase the pay of councillor'* from $4 a. day to $f>. The tnovc met with a good dent of opposition from members wlio pointed lo the heavy expense the tatepayers wonld be put to on account of Houd damage. One gen- tleman staged emphatically that it would tdke his township at least ten yearH lo recover from the rffrcta. On the other hand, some members pointed out llmt OHM w.i, an extraordinary spring, and contended that in any case thu ni.ly ijues- tioti before them was whether the coun- cillors' work was worlh $. a day. Hotel rates had gone up, so tliHt h had little or r.othing left after paying ni* expenses. Tim ditcunaiou was ranewed on Wed- nenday nnd tionlly tlie bylaw wns voted down, the voli staiidiiig 17 for I he raise 92 ii((uinat. At Thursday'* wssion a lot of lima was wanted in discusxion of a report of the Kinniii'o Committre K:I ei{Uli/atiun of asseNiiiient. The whole tiotible was l>etween Aitemesiaand KIcHherton.

The report put the amount at 1100,000, but Mr. McKenxie. Heine of Artemeaia, thought it should be more.
