-- for flood protection. If the House had no objection he had framed a clause . designed to remedy the condition of af-- fairs and providing for the purposes of | flood protection, the expenditure of sut-- ficient moneys properly provided by by-- [ l«aw and by a vote of the people if ne-- cessary. Mr. Hardy drew attention to ' the large number of municipalities in-- tereated, and apprehended that the |H0use would do all in its power to facilitate the prevention of these floods. In West Brantford the railway cross-- ing at the canal and around about the T. H.'& B. station, the works of the | Massey--Harris Company, the Naterous | Works and other places had 'seen yery seriously 'damaged, and they desired to put an embankment along the river ard to deepen the bed of the stream, along which the properties are situated. The present condition of the river per-- mitted the Ice to jam and so cause the fAlood. Mr. Whitney, after ascertaining that the clause did not preciude the regular legal objections by ratepayers, sald that the whole House would be willing to help Mr. Hardy to safeguard the interests of Brantford, and at Mr. Cars-- calien's suggestion the amendment was uwnanimously concurred in. This and the bill respecting voters' lists will be ao.ferred to the whole House on Tues-- y. _ _'The House adjourned at 10 o'clock. | °* Notices of Motion.
