REP. BY POP. Moved by Coun. Head, seconded by Coun. Touchburn, that whereas there is at present grent inequality in the division of the Town of Lindsay into wards, the north ward having a population of 2287 and being assessed for $866,676, the south ward a population of ,2793 and assessed for $827,383 and the east {ward a population of 132 and assessed for $193,206, thus giving an unequal representa- tion in the municipal council. It is thereupon desirable there should be a redistribntion of the wards or such modification made in the, existing ward limits (as in some degree) to equalize the population and value of property in each ward. And for this purpose this subject hereby referred to a committee consisting of the Mayor the Reevexand the Ist and and Dep.-Reeves, to ascertain whether it is desirable to proceed in the matter, the best manner of procedure and what. steps should be taken. Said committee to report at next meeting of council. . Dep.~Reeve Crandcll said that if the light was moved it would prove very unsatisfactory to many, and was opposed to considering the same. Coun. Head said that the report was con- sidered as far as possible. It was receiving the attention of the committee and would be reported at next meeting. The report was then adopted. MORE LIGHT NVANTED. Ma or Ray asked the council to consider thea visability of changing the light now at the wharf to some more suitable place and where it might be of more benefit for the winter months. Conn. Walters stated that the account of Mr Carlin for $5.00 was submitted some time ago and had been referred to the finance committee. He wished to know why it had not been reported upon. It was only a small matter and should_bc paid: A Your committee further recommend that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered the ioint committee of the board of health and the board of trade for valuable assistance and infornfation collected and furnished regarding the proposed system of sewerage and drainage for the Town of Lindsay.
