O’Reilly asked that informa- tion be asked of the cost to the town of Lindsay for vaccine and vaccina- tion. and also. how much each medi- cal man received from the town dur- ing the recent smallpox scare. A resolution to the effect was car- ried. Mayor Vrooman said that as the motion carried without his vote, he would not vote unless it .was neces- sary. If Ald. O'Reilly wanted to know his opinion of the matter, he was in favor of the motion. .Hd. 0 Reilly asked the Mayo bow ha voted Those voting for the by-law Were Ald. Ragga Ald. Fisher, Ald. Eyrcs and Ald. Rea. ln introducing the hy-law Ald. O'Rei-lly gave a brief history of the Commissioners’ byâ€"law, epraining that it was passed in 1900 by a pet- ition signed by '99 cit'iZens out of a population of 7,000. The first time they had tried to abolish the by-law. Council took .a vote on it, the result being a tie. The Mavor threw the casting vote, and the by-law was beaten. He was one of the Council who voted for it. In 1903 he intro- duced a notice of motion himself'. His reasons for so doing was that the Commissioners were not doing their duty. They had held no meet- ings at all, although according to the statutes, the first meeting should be called immediately after the elec- tion of-the Mayor. Last year the same thing happened. He asked Exâ€" )layor Ray in May of last year iilnhe Commissioners had met, and was in- formed they had not. .\'-othin;_r more was heard from them until a by-law was introduced, when they met for the first time in five years. His only argument in favor of the (‘0mâ€" niissioners was, that they We‘re all good men. But does that. say the (‘ouncil are not good men ? Is not the Council capable of transacting all ofv its own business? Ald. 0’» Reilly then went on to explain that in case of a man being brought beâ€" fore. the magistrate, who is a Police Commissioner, on a first offence, the balance of power was in the chief’s hand. for the Chief is told to enforce the law by one who gave the Chief pOWer to act. Every man has a right. to appeal if he is not satisfied with the judgment, and who does the man have to appeal toâ€"another commis- sioner. He could name a dozen cases where the man, sooner than appeal, would pay the fine. The trouble was that the bylaws were not enforced. Ald. Rea was going to introduce ‘ a hy-iaw to prohibit the public from crossing the park. But of what use was it, if other by-laws were not. en- forced ? In conclusion he ‘said he had no‘other reasons for the aboli- tion of the Commissioners, and un- less they proved themselves capable of doing their duty he would always be opposed to them. Ald. O’Reilly then moved the read- ing of the by-law. but Ald. McFadden being Absent. he could find no second~ er. He asked that the matter be left over until his seconder was present. SOLICITOR BY-LAW.
