I 50 22 IO 15 7S I000 .3 m2 92¢ 2C0 570 57° «J 20 N 50 15 4 The assistant treasurer has made a full and clear statement respecting certain expenses in connection with the administration of jus- tice. It appears that owing to the establish- ment of a precedent, which has been found on investigation not to be warranted by the law, the expenses of the preparation of the quarterly lists of conviction and returns of the same to departments of the governments. by the clerk of the peace, exclusive of the cost of publication, have amounted to $251 per annum. It has been shown to your committee that to fill the statutory requirements it is necessary to incur an expense of $60 per annum only. There are four charges for services by the clerk of the peace which are not required by thevstatute to be performed. Your c0mmittee find by the report of his honor the county judge to the board of audit in the month of October last, that the objections raised by the assistant treasurer in his memorandum dated 28th Au- gust last, have, with slight exceptions, been sustained. On the whole question your com- mittee beg to recommend that no service be required of the clerk of the peace or paid for, that is not authorized by statute or some gov- ernmental order having the torce of law, and that the judge and justices in sessions be re. spectfully and earnestly requested to rescind any resolution or order heretofore passed, under the sanction or authority of which, any of the services referred to in the assistant trea- surer’s memorandum have been performed by the clerk of the peace and especially any reso- lution or order authorizing the issuing of notices to justices of the peace requesting them to make returns of convictions, or informing them of the receipt of the statutes. Your committee recommend further that the county clerk be instructed to procure and keep a supply of blank forms for the use of justices of the peace in making their quarterly returns of convic- tions, and that a circular be issued by the countylclerk to all justices of the peace in the county whose names and post office addresm can be obtained, notifying them that from and after the first day of Ianuary next no further notice will be given them to make returns, and that the blank: for the pnrposecnn be obtained from the county clerk. ' . , Your committee have ‘diaoveted the rmlu-, timofeonncil instructing them to tie into A petiton from Mr. William Iirokenxhire and 44 others, rate-payer. of the Township of Fenclon, praying that the decision at the council at the lune session relatite to the petition of James H Thurston and 0111ch he re- considered, has been .submitted to your committee. The petition reterred to \\ 1‘ an appeal under the proxi<ions of the 82nd Section of the Public Schools Act against the action of the council of he Township of lenelon in refusing to form a ne“ school section. and a reComtnendtttion of your com- mittee thrt the appeal he not entertained was adopted by the conned. The opinion of the Count) solicitor having been asked as to the re opening of the question, and the solicitor haxing grv e11 it :15 his opinion that the council having once heard and disposed of the matter, the appeal 15 at an end, and that there is now nothing before the council upon which they can act, your committee recommend that the prayer of the petition for re-consideralion he not granted, The report was adopted. FINANCE mat-0111‘. Moved by Mr. Lownsbrouszh. seconded by Mr. Shaver. that the report. on finance and assessment be now introduced and read a first tuneâ€"Carried. As doubt appears to exist as'to the meaning of the provisions of the regulations of the education department relative to travelling expenses to be allowed to the examiners in addition to the per diem allowance provided for, your committee recommend that the treasurer be instructed to pay all expenses necessarily incurred by the examiners in reach- ing the place to which they have been ap. pointed from the time of leaving their usual place of abode until the hour for commencing their duties, and from the hour at which the examinations close until they reach their usual places of abode. In the case of an examiner who finds it necessary to hire a horse for the purpose of going to and returning from the place where he is required to preside, the amount paid for hire and keeping horse will be allowed. On motion the council went into com- mittee of the whole, Mr. Kylie in the chair, on the followmg report. Your committee recommend that the follow- ing accounts he passed, viz.: J. C. I‘Iarstone, examining drawing and book-keeping books for primary examinations ....... . . . . . $6 00 J. T. Harrington, for like service. . . . 6 00 Accounts have been submitted for expenses of entrance and public school leaving examina- tions in West V'ictona, amounting to $121.55, and in East Victoria amounting to $22. . \ our committee have considered the para- graphs of the v ardcn’ 5 address rcxcrrcd to them and beg _to report as foilows--â€" .â€" I With regard to the proposal to appoint valuators undet the provisions of the Consoli- doted Municipal Act, your committee begto recommend that further action hedeferred until the first session of the council in 1896. 2 Your committee approve of the action of the warden, under the advice of the advisory committee, in directing the treasurer to pay the grant of $100 made to the l’lowman’s Association in June, without insisting upon .},e conditions which were coupled with the grant. - Your committee recommend that the arrange- aent made by Dr. DeGmssi {or the discharge of the gaol surgeon’s duties be allowed to continue so long as it may be necessary. \our committee have considered the com- munication from Messrs. Sims and McAulay on behalf of the East Victoria. Teachers’ Association, asking the council to assume the eXpense of printing the papers in promotion examinations in the inspectoral d vision for which the association has been formed, and beg to recommend that the sum of $13 50 per annum be paid to the association for the pur- pose named.
