FERGUSON moved an amendment that the words *"*Chief Superiatendent of Ecucation" in the last line of the clause be «truck out, and the words "County Judge" be substituted. _ He explained that this change would remove the right of appeal from the decision of the County Suporintend-- | ent from the Chief Superintendent to the County Judge. Hon. Mr. CAMERON said this was no legal quertion It was stmply a question of the suitableress or unsuitablensess of school accommodation. Mr, BLAKE said the chief difficulty in making the Chief Superintendent the party to whom to sppeal, was the inconvenience of bringing all appeals to Toronto. He did not approve of the County Judges, but, if there wera no other choice he would prefer them to the Chicf Ruperintendent. After some further discussion the amend-- ment was car led. Mr. TROW moved an amendment to the fHect that the School Suparintendent shall decide as to schcol accommodation only on a petition signed by at least one--third of the ratepayers resident in the section. | The amendment was carried; and the | clause, as amended, was adopted, Un clause 9, Bon,. Mr, McMURER CH moved that the word *"*two," on the fourth line, be erased, and insert the words **not to excesd five." alter the word * persons," on the same line. The effect of the change would be to increase tie number of the Board of Examiners. Dr, BOULTER moved, in amendment to * tre amendment, that the word " two," in the fourth line, be expunged, and the words "one or more" be inserted instead. This, he explained, would have the same effect as the change proposed by the hou. member for North York. I be first amendment was withdrawn, and the second was cartied.
