Mr. Willvughby introduced a bill to amend the Municipal Act, which was read 1 " tirst, time. i' Mr. Miscumpbell moved for a return I showing (I) on Inventory of the chattels at each of thepublie institutions in the Pro: viucr. ; (2) the prices paid foreach article ot the same ; (3) the present value of each ur- ticle of the, sumo to the (Shit of December, l8'Jl. lie said that, in the post four years the principal institutions had spent$278,150 in this way, or b00,000 annually. Without, iinputing anything wrong, he said he thought such inventories would be a sort of l chi-eh on the expenditure. Air. Gibson (Hamilton) said he had no doubt the object was it proper one, but he I thought the mover had not considered the I amount of labor it would involve. During ' the past year minute inventories were made at most of these public institutions, and the wyk was still going on in case of other in. stitutions. in a short, time there would be complete inventories. They had such iii- vcutotOs now for all the asylums but one. These inventories may be examined in the department or before the Public Accounts Committee. But to bring them before the House would be useless. No one would dream of printing them because they were too voluminous. It west the intention of the Government to have these inventories made at stated intervals, if not every year, It least every two years. Hetherefore sug- gested that Mr. Mucampbell should with- draw the motion. _ .\lr..i\l'.scampbell adepted the suggestion L and withdrew his motion. '
