Mr. Gibson thought the House ' should be careful in dea'ng with such a radical measure as the one proposed. The present system of assessing the cost of sewers seemed to work satis- t factorily. It would be well to hear the 1 views of various municipalities on the question, an o ortunity which will be "orded when the measure comes before the Municipal Committee. Mr. Caracallen (Hamilton) moved the second reading of his bill to enable cor- poretions having a solicitor, who re- ceives a fixed ry, to recover costs in lotions; the amounts so recovered to be laced to the credit of the municipality fustead of going to the solicitor. ' Hon. Mr. Gibson pointed out that a tew years ago in cases where the solicitor was a salaried man costs could not be recovered by the municipality. That was changed two years Mo, so that municipal solicitors l received the costs, but the present ', proposal contemptted an advanced step, which had not en asked for by any other municipality than the one repre- sented by Mr. Garscalien. .
