To the Municipal Council of the County of Victoria: GENTLEMBX,â€"â€"The usual business requir- ed by the statute to be transacted at the June session. namely, the equalization of the assessment of the respective municipalities and the levymg of rates for county and other purposes will demand your caretul attention. Aportion of the township of Harvuy in the county Peter-borough having been an- next to the township of Verulnm, the equal. nation of the latter municipality will require re-arrmlgementa. The necessary informa- tion as to the acreage and assessed value of the anuexegl portion will he laid. before you. The Auditors' report and detail statem'ents of receipts and expenditures for the year 1878, the estimates for the current year,and statements showing the position of the re. spectch sinking funds and of unpaid county rate: will be laid before yon. _ The Treasurer. acting with my concur- rence, visited Toronto last month and ur- chased debentures of the township of ‘10: amounting to $4,500, on the account of the railway sinking fund. The price paid was 98 per cent. The recommendation of the Finance com- mittee relating to the general sinking funds adopted at the January session, has been carried out, an arrangement heving been moxie “fitli the Bank of Montreal for the de- sit of all money a at the credit of 'these Fonds, to bear at least 4} per cent. in the meantiu e. I communicated with the \Vnrden of the county of Peterborough in the month of April with reference to the north bridge in the village of Bobctygeon. He informs me that he has been advised that the relation of the two counties with reenect to the Bob- caygeon bridge has been efl'ecte‘d by the act detaching the portion of Harvey lying West of Pigeon lake from the oountymf Peterbor- ough. The question of joint. liability may have to be decided anew, and l weiild coni- mend the subject to your earnest consider- ation. A: decided by you at the January smion I wrote the inspector of Prisons respecting the proposed alterations in the gwl. ukin r him to appoint a time for a conference wit your committee. Under «late of the 28th of February he informed me he would name a day a fortnight before this meeting, but I re- gret the arrangement has not been carried out on his part. and the matter is still in nbeyauce.‘ Acirculnrhas been received from the Minister of Education giviugn snmmar 10f the recent amendments to the school aw.
