tojte in 1885 when mr smalls ame sdment in the house of commons in favor of light wine and beer was voted upon the iivteion was as follows against the amendment 56 for the amendment 78 on monday when a resolution to the same effect proposed by mr g iron irdwas before the house the vote stood j against 138 for 48 if that represents the true feelini of the house on temperance questions and we see ni- teason to doubt it the adv ance in temperance sentiment betokened by such a vote 13 as marked as it is surprising it was not the general opinion vvcarh bound to say that any such great advance had taken place and the news will be all the more welcome to the extent it wi a unex pected the strong resolutions of some of the religious bodies lately in session doubt less bad much to do with the

obliged your committee to place the rate one mill in advance of that of last year as the metnbers of your coijhnnttee are ratepayers and will have to do their share in meeting the increased demand we need hardly re mind you that we with other ratepayers regret that the additional mill was necessary in regard to this matter yoer committee beg to state that the council have very little control of tho illage expenditure indeed only in the contingent accouut and that of the streets and sidewalks can they exercise their discretion and even in these with very limited power for ex ample the contingent account oi this year is largely made up of law expenses incur red through mexcu9ablo and shortsighted conduct on the part m certain persons who brought action against the municipality daring a previous yar which action this council was obliged to defend and against scott aot trials aoton and qeorgetown contribute 1350 to the publio exchequer in two days on friday last p m young

to i lead guilty if the magistrate would make i t a first offence the magistrate rev ievved the evidence in all its bearings concluded f hat it was perfectly satisfactory and mi tosed a fine of 910q

the puhlie to th daily acuiditions our tock is receiving which are rapidlyjbriuging it to wo have just opened hste o the highest state of perfect n s throe cases of w iilitliisrieierz their desire put the needless expense with reference to village ratepayers to the street and side walk account last ears estimate was only about 100 anc the committee of this year are obliged to place their estimate at nearly 400 and this amount will not nearly satisfy the demands made by im portunate ratepayers for sidewalks and crossings another matter to which we might refer ib the necessity of additional expenditure in the construction of a new drain on mam street as on this street there are several cellars which are flooded with water which can find no exit in view of the fact that considerable expense will be incurred in the construction of a drain sufficient to meet the case your committee would recommendthat the council early take into consideration the most equitable mode of providing funds either by making a special call upon pilose whose property is directly benefited for the whole or part of the money required or by using that col lected upon the whole rateable property of the municipality passing from contingent and street and sidewalk accounts to thobe of the town hall and cemetery debenture accounts we may remind you that these are entirely beyond our control they were created by councils of former years whose action was sustained by the vote of their rate payers and with the legal matter previous ly referred to are legacies bequeathed to thevorthy council of the present year by thoughtful forefathers in office l t there are other items to which we might refer that are beyond our control such as county rate insurance also the salaries of village officers we now come to the largest demand that yonr committee hajie to provide for viz the sum of 1700 for the support of out public schools winch is another item to which we cannot object nor over which we can exercise any control indeed we feat that a farther and more serious call will be made opou the cbuucil to provide accom modatlon for tho ever increasing school population wewill not invite trouble hy discussing this matter prematurely hat dismiss the subject impressed with the fact that multiplication which is taught it theory in the school room is practically carried out in the pome before closing your committee wouldre commend that thelcouncil at once pass bylaw to provide lor the payment of the current years taxes in two instalments say in the early part ofsangust and it november we
