I think it is due to our property that to the committees on education, and roads and bridges. Inspector Knight attended the first. The need for teaching fifth classes in the common school was reâ€"aflirmed, and council followed up its memorial to the Minister of Education in June for their restoration, with a similar one to the legislature. The Roads abd Bridges This committee followed. It con- sidcrcd coun. Bailey’s report of the work done by him on the certain bridges in the north. The outlay was over $1000 and council begged “to express approval of the manner: in which Mr. Bailey had discharged the duties entrusted to him.” In speaking of his work on one bridge Mr. Bailey said that it was a mistake to put bottoms in abut- mcnts. Usually these were put in to hold the stones to sink the crib. He put pockets in the sides to hold stones enough to sink them. With- out. bottoms they sink into the soil. Whereas with them they sit upon it "fin-1 - and are soon undermined and topple Over. He had got labor for $1.25 per day, mechanics for $1.50 to $1.75 teams for $2.50. With regard to Brown's bridge that had been repaired under Mr. McQuade it was said that no matter how wide the marsh “the bridge" has been judicically decided to be, from bank to bank at high water. The committee having charge of the stone-crusher could not report be- cause some work is yet to be done The chairman is Conn. When he. was offered the in town. G ra ham . regulation pay for services Mr. (Ira- ham (lcclaimed it. and spoke heartily of the SUCCESS of his effort to gel the county equipped for road-making but pressed for further purchases as soon as possible. t‘ouncil desired "to re- cord their appreciation of the. great and important. service that has been rendered to the county by James Graham. first for his earnest and untiring efforts to awaken public Opinion to the need of improved methods of road-making * * * and during the past three years * * in devoting time and effort. without limâ€" it to the. promotion of the success of the work." A Short Session When council met Friday morning llr. Wood was in his place. The doctor had just returned from the scene of the, Rainy River railway operations and took hold of the county business with vigor. A letter from Dr. Herriman secreâ€" tary of the Children's Aid Society said there were a. Protestant. girl and boy and a Catholic girl in charge of the society waiting for homes. They are from 31,52 to ten years old. Some reports were read and council adâ€" journed. The Need for a Refuge. When the Finance Committee met in the. afternoon the case. of Mrs. Irvine an indigent woman aged 55 years Was brought to their attention. She. had been lodged with Bubcocks. confessed that they were not artists it was read out that four town bovq are costing the county $416 a year at Mimico Industrial school. Their names are : Lewis Davidson aged 7 who stole a. nickle watch: sentenced 7 years. Stanley McCabe, aged 6 years: parents could not control him; term; 5 years. Martin Kenny, damage to prop- erty; 3 years. Fred Burke, damage. to propâ€" erty; 3 years. These lads were committed by Magistrate Steers. Coun. Stabackâ€"Why were. these boys bot sent to I’enetang where there is a provincial institution? Mr. NcNeillieâ€"Incorrigibles from the Industrial are chiefly sent there. (.‘oun. Austinâ€"I think it an ex- traordinary action of the magis- trate's. These are mere lads and their offences not great, while their terms are very long. We should Cenâ€" sure the magistrate for burdening the county that way. Coun. Stabackâ€"According to that, half of the boys in Woodville would be in the institution. Coun. ('hannonâ€"l‘v'hen the peo- ple find out about this place they will want their children sent there to get .an education. Coun. Bailey It will take all our taxes to pay for them. Coun. Johnsâ€"I think we need to bring some blue beech into the town for the boys. It would be cheaper. Coun. Stabackâ€"câ€"lt is a disgrace to the police magistrate. The paragraph bearing on this matter in the committee's report end- ed as follows : “The matter causes our comâ€" mittee great surprise. ’l‘iiey reâ€" commend thai tho- accounts be,- passed. but they further recomâ€" mend that a protest. be recorded against the CULII‘SU pursued by lilv‘ Police.

Tht' icing” Nn't'c-ssiiy The. amendment to the criiiiinai code forbidding persons resident in the county for two ~year's to be sent to jail as indigunts. was brought to council’s notice by ('ol. llcacon as before. reported. Now it was conâ€" sidered in committee. Conn. Austinâ€"Instead of being wrong I think that is right. They should not. go to jail. When it is known they cannot go to jail some. place. else will be pr0\ lilo-d. Lindsay has taken the step and provided a Home. It will be, only a matter of time till all the counties will provide some such places. The :uncndmi-nt is a good one. Council agreed that. the change would make a great difference in the treatment of indigent people and com cludcd their resolution on it as fol- lows : "The change in the law has an important. bearing on the questnn of the erection of a House of {vâ€" f‘uge. which is now engaging tho attention of the electors. who are. the box should have been bought and to the town that we should pay for Coun.
