He thought the Reeves should look after it. Mr. Ray said that he brought the mat- ter up in the County Council but the feeling in the Council was so strongly in favor of holding on to it that he could do nothing in the matter ; in fact it was three to twenty, and the only way of securing it was through the .Ontario Government: The Mayor read a communication from Co.

On motion of Mr. Flurey. seconded by Mr. Dean, 3. cordial vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Mr. P. Clunan, for the manner in which he has discharged his duty as assistant constable for several years past Mr. Flurey movel a resolution with re- ference to a dispute between himself and Deputy Reeve Williams, as to the latter’s report of Committee to which was refer- red the local improvement by-law and after some discussion on the matter the resolution was withdrawn. In moving the adoption of the report Mr. Flurey brought before the Council the fact that heretofore it was the custom of the council to engage a Protestant and a Catholic as chief constable and assistant. He said that this plan worked well, and he considered it only fair to the Catholic ratepayers to continue to do so. He supported his position with a good deal of energy, but the report appointing Mr. Chas. Reeves was adopted. On motion of Mr. Ray, second by Mr. Touchbum, the Fire Warden is to be paid $30 for the year provided that be dis charge his duties to the satisfaction of the council. Moved by Mr. Ray, seconded by Mr. Dean that the Reeve and Dy. Reeve Williams be and are hereby requested to attend the special committee appointed by the County Council to urge on the G. T.

Reeve Williams, Mr. Dean and others in which no very complimentary language was used, and during which the mayor had all he could do to keep order. These scenes are becoming rather frequent at lneetings, and it would greatly add to the dlgnity of the members, were they en- tlrelv dropped. The report was adopted. Mr. Ray read the report of the Finance Committee. The Committee declined to recommend an advance of salary to the assessors, and several bills were recom~ mended to be paid. Mr. Ray gave a lengthy explanation of the abatements ahowed to ratepayers, who pay their taxes before certain dates. Mr. Flurey read the report of the Police committee. The report stated that there were 16 applications for the office assistant constable.
