(Made iCanada) The Friday night and final session o! the Counties Council was a long one, lastiug f romn 8.30 till nearly 1.30 a. m. And it was just as lively as it was long and eapecially when. with Reeve MacCol i the chair, the re- port o! thc Finance Committee was being rmd. IL was recomnxended that bbe ac- count o! some $28.846 f rom the De- partmnenb o! Highways ho caried over te thc June session. Then came the clause recom- mendlng a reduction o! 20 p. c. hi the salany ($3.100> o! the Rond Superintendent Greer. Ex-Warden Hooten rose Up i elo- quence te de! end the salaried men. He was not prepared to, sacrifice efftciency for economy. Again, Chah-msn MacCoil wanted te know wbat was te ho donc wlth1 this recommendation. FlnalIY the 20 P. c. eut recom- mendation wa8 carnied. The next reconimendation was for a cut o! 20 P. c. in thc Clerk and Treasurer's salai-y. Ex-Warden Hooten obJected te, this. He thougbb a ten Per cent ont quite sumfcient. Mr. Rehder said that there waa more Work than ever. sud tbey should allow for efflclency. Mr. Ellott thougbt they should accePt the offer o! the Clerk to take a ten p. c. cut. He had offered te take it voluntarili'. The motion making a ten p. c. cut was carried. Next came a recommendation te cut Miss McMahon's salary froin $1000 te $800. But as miss mc- Mahon Probably did more work than ail o! the othens Put together and was botb efficient and con- scientions, the salany was le! t as it was. The nexb saiany te be consîdered was that o! the Superintendent o! the House o! Refuge. IL was $1000) a year. Mn. Corbett moved a 5 p. c. ne- duction. Mn.

I addition te the salary, there was a free bouse, fuel, llght, food, etc. The 20 p. c. reduction was finally carried. The next te be consldcred was the salary o! tbe Govennor o! bbc Gaol, $1000.

Lernoon rejected a Cobourg motion by Reeve J. De- Ianty, seconded by Deputy Reeve W. J. Corbett. to appoint a committee to coufer wlth a delegation from the Cobourg council and H. L. Cuiiming, Toronto, o! the Attorney-General's Department, i regard te the tewn's equaiized assesament and thelir de- sras shown by a lovai referenduIli to secede from the united counties. Hon. Mr-. Pnlce's letter te the Warden was med. The VouuUes' Attitude The counties position was set forth in a motion by N. A. MacCoil and J. N Stone of Campbellford, ac- ceptlug the service o! Mr. Cum- mings "te investigate the situation between Cobourg and the Cotinties Couneil and to make recommenda- Lions 10 the respective coundils." This resolution was adoptcd. Reeve Stinson opposed the confer- ence method o! committees. "A speclal meeting o! this council can be called auy time Mn. Cumm- ing can meet us, and I feel sure ail tbc members wlll attend without auY charge te the Counties," Mr. Stinson said. EQUAL12ED ASSESSMENT 15 REDUCED Buluansd Income Assessmeut Deducted from Urban Munici- palities - Balance Eeduced by 28 Per Cent. At the Fniday n.lght session o! the Counties Coundil a bylaw was pas- sed changing the equalized assess- ment from $51.000.000 to $36.347.832. The reduced assessment was ar- rived at by flnst deducting the busi- ness sudicome assessment from the varioUS Urban municipalities, and then reducig the nesulting to- tal by 28 per cent. The reason f or this reduction la te get langer grants for schools f rom the province. It appears that the lower the assess- ment the greater the school grant. The f inancial responslbility o! the varions municipalities la altered slightiy. Bowmanville. for instance, instead o! having ta shoulder 7 per cent o! the total county expenditure, under the new equalized. assessment bas te contribute slightly over 6.5 per cent o! the total tax burden.
