Ross respectiuiir the amounts past I due and payable by ocrtuin municipalities upon l the settlement made by etatuie of their debts to the Munici al Loan Fund. l Hon. A. ill. ROSS moved a resolution affirming , the principle of the Bill. which proposes to allow i the Government the power to make ogreom-ntss ' with the municipalities, reducing their liabilities it the Government see tit to do so. Mr. MEREDITH; wanted to know why the hon. gentleman could not let the matter he over till next session. In the interval he. could ascer- tsin the terms and requirements oi municipalities and the Government could deal with the matter next session. Hon. A. M. ROSS. stated that the action would be perfectly constitutional, would save time, and be much more convenient. Mr. M l'iltlthK said the House should not be bound to r..tify an agreement after it was made. It would be necessary in order to upset the agreement to move a vote of want of eontidenee in the Government. The hands of members ot _ both sides of the House would be tied. I Mr. MURRIS concurred in the observations l which had come from hi, side of the Home. 116 l 1houghtit was an objectionable action to tah.. I The authority was clear that a. Govornmont had i not power to compromise it debt, and alterwnrdsq to come down to an]: the House to assent to the agreement. Hon. o. MOWAT said there was. no ground whatever for the alleged constitutional rule that l his hon. friend referred to, and the ltousa.woaM l, perceive this from the fact that ha had noti Cited one single authority. and it was well known l he was txlwiiys ready to do this. It would be a l futile thing to bring this matter before the House beforehand. because any municipality might withdraw after the agreement was made, and before it could be ratified. The hon. gentleman saidlimt in taking the courso the Government proposed they would bring the inlluaiice oi par- ties to support the rrsoliition, but this, was quite an imaginary distinction for two TCIX'ILIS: one that the Reform members voted "ccord,ur, to the merits of any matter, no matter who brought it up; then if party did apply in that case it would apply just as much if it were wrought up in the can torm. Mr. CREIGHTON said the authority of cairn man sense ought to rule this :n tttcr. It seemed absurd that the Government shown! iii-4k) the terms tirst, and then put their supporters in the position that it they did not sanction the :zgicm ment they would have ti vide- want. of Cllllliiii'EClL Ho thouzht there was no danger of the muuiciplo. itv backingr out after the agreemcn: WIN ratiCd by Pariinrv.rnt.
