Present the Mayor, Reeve and Dy-Reeeve and Messrs Touchburn, Ross, Bryans, Com- stock, 'Fluery, Dean, Fee and Parsons. The Clerk read 'the minutes of last meeting which were approved. COMMULICATIONS. From Secretary of the School Board in reference to the supplying the Board with the funds demanded at the last meeting of the. Council, and a further demand of $1,200 for Teacher’s salaries. From Dr. Herriman in reference to Wm. Thexton the young man who applied at the last meeting of the Council for assistance. The Dr. stated that young man was very ill and required to be look- ed after. From Mr. R. Simons Co. in reference" to, erecting a sign at hlS store Referred to Street and Bridge committee. 'fFrom Mr. Gregory Secretary of the Charity committee in reference to the Charity grant given by the County. An order was passed authorising the Treasurer tdf'pay $125 to the central charity com- n' e, and the proper portion to the St. .- cent de Paul society. , rem Dr. Degrassi in reference to ob- stfuction in the water passage near his premises. The Dr. demanded immediate attention to the matter, or he would have recourse to the courts. The monthly report of the Chief con- stable was referred to the police commit- tee. From Mr. A. H. Mellville asking for billiard table license. Laid on the table. Mr. Ray said he held in his hand a re- port of the committee appointed at the instance of the Reeve in reference to the legality of the raising of certain sums of money by the Mayor and Treasurer, and after mature consideration he was of the Opinion that under the circumstances in connection with the proceedings now in the courts, in reference to his Worship’s qualifications,it would be nothing short of contempt of court to deal with the matter. The mayor stated that so far as he was personally concerned he was willing to I ill-Fe the report laid before the Council. i 6 had nothing to hide in the matter. 1 His course was open to inspection as he 31- 5 ways tried to advance the interests of the ’ town. He would leave the matter in the hands of the council. ,gteeVe Crandell considered it very wrong to burk the report, and said it was not contempt of court, and if there was nothing to hide, the report should be laid before the council. He did not charge Menu!) with doing anything crim- -’ {#9011th .there weshlun ' ‘ he wanted the people to know it. Mr. Ray said that the reading of the report would serve no good purpose, par- ticularly as the matter was Suly'udice. He was therefore for holding the matter over for the present. Mr. Dean also opposed bringing this matter up for discussion. There was no good purpose to 'serve, and at the same time he believed it Would be tantamount to contempt of court. Other members of the Council coinciding in this View the re- port was held over. Mr. Ray presented the report of the Finance and Assessment Committee which was adopted. After recommending the payment of several accounts it says:â€" Two communications from the School Board, one demanding $5,200 to be provi- ded for certain school purposes, and ano- ther demanding the payment of $1600 in compliance with a resolution of the Coun- cil passed on the 7th of June 1886, was cousidered,when it was decided to recom- mend the Council to submit both docu- ments to the town solicitor for his opinion as to the merits of the demands, and the best means of arriving at a solution of all the matters in contention between the School Board and the Council. We have have also considered a communication demanding the sum of $800 for Collegiate Institute purposes, for the month of Feb- ruary, and recommend that your treasur- or be instructed to pay the treasurer of the School Board the sums demanded. We have also considered a communi- cation from “Organized Labor,” a docu- ment without a signature, praying that a municipal day’s work consist of 9 hours, when on motion of Deputy ReeveW’illiams, seconded by Councillor Touchbonrne the following resolution was adopted:â€" “That in the opinion of you committee it Would be an injustice to other rate- payers who are compelled to work ten hours a day, and whose taxes contribute so largely to the revenue of the town to Comply with the request of “Organized Labor,” contained in their connnunication of Feb. 8th last, that nine hours should constitute a munictpal day’s work.” We have considered the Receipts and Ezpenditures in detail and in abstract, al- so an abstract of the assets and liabilities of the corporation as audited and certified by the town auditors. and recommed that the same be adopted. Mr. Fluery read the report of the Po- lice Committee. The report recommend- ed the ro-engagement of the chief con- stable and assistant. Report referred back for amendment. A by-law in com- pliance with which will be submitted at next meeting. Mr. Williams presented the report of the committee on Town Property which was adopted.
