In the frst place they forget for the moment that the moon's motion from east to west is only imaginary and that the earth turning on its own axes from west to east makes the moon appear to pass in a contrary direc- tion ; but neither the real motion of the earth on its axis nor the apparent motion of the moon froin cast to west has anything fo do with theeclipse.

The Warden took the chair at 10:30 a.m. A lot of the members present, The minutes Messrs. Major, McPhee and Campbell, the County valuators, brought" in their Report which was read by the Clerk. Mc. Smith (E. Whitby), introduced and carried through its second reading a by-law to confirm by-law 348 of the township of E. Whitby; the by-law was then referred Mr. Campbell moved that the sum of $12 be refunded to Mr. Jumes Boyle being the amount paid by hin for peddian licence in 1880, while the County had no legal, right to change for such license, The mover read the names of many who had got their money refunded under similar circumstances, Mr. Wright said he could not see that any objectiqn could be offered to refunding the money taken frm the party by an illegal by-law, it would be a piece of great Injus- tice to keep any such money ; parties ro- siding around had received the money taken from them under similar circumstances and why should Boyle living at a distance, have farther tronble. Mr, Campbell says Mr. Boyle would have no trouble in collecting his money through the Courts if he chose to dv so but be had no desire to have recourse to amy such measures. : Mr. Lark suggested that the matter be left in the bands of the finance committee. Mr, Wright can't sev the necessity for any such course, the Councikhas obviously no right to retain Mr, Boyle's money then why treat it as if it weres matter of doubt, oras if Mr. Boyle were asking from the Council some thing to which he had a doubtiul claim, Mr, Smith said that no injustice would be done to Mr. Boyle by leaving the matter in the hands of the finance committee. It was agreed to so leave it, A copy of a resolution passed by the Board of Education of the town of Whitby was read by the Clerk request'ng the Council to provide for the payment of $750 for the Whitby Collegiate Institute as required by section ---- of the amended School Act. On motion the matter was referred to the Committee on Education. Mr, McRae moved the reception of the re. port of the Valuators and the council went into committee of the whole, Mr. Blog in the chair, It being noon the Warden left the chair.

Mr Grahtm said that (he case of Scugog was very different from any other 'munici- pality in the county. In that township there is a large tract of valuible land owned by the Indians but not subject to taxation Lut they have sowetimes allowed by & Government to lease some of t such lands as are leased are ansersed for the time they are leased and In 1880. the year the Valuators have taken a {of land was under lease but large ijt lease expires the lands are withdrawn trom the assessed property. Mr. Millersaid that if the council is te be dragged after every oljector to the valuation the report may hang fire till doemsday : the council bas been assured for years by the advocates of 8 nuw valua.on that the cost of valuation would be more than covered by! the increase in the value of the lands in some municipalities then undervalued and that the county would be the gainer by the transaction. But now that the cost has been incurred and a valuation made by which the municipalities referred to are ask- ed to contribute a little more towards the expenses of the county. thea : very parties de- | id {ofa third valuator. But hogan of taxes. Mara and Rama appears to be "the on # these townships have ad ward, the former will pay about less and the latter a trifle more will pay about $60 more fo # every year in consequence of thes ation. "Had Mr, Grain di a result the Valustors would bave been each worse off than they now are. But it remained for the Reeve of Mara to show the gushing gratitude of Mara could do when he proposed giving a bonus of an ad- ditional $100 to each of the Valuators mak- ing the pay of each $300. It doubtless took the Valuators the greater part of three weeks to preform their important duties and $100 a woek --as Mr, McRae views it--is about the square thing. Mr. LJ. Gould gave notice that he will | on to-morrow move for leave to introduce a by-law to change the mode of electing War- dens in this County. The Clerk now read the Treasurer's Re- port as follows : Interest on Debentures .....v cesses $1200 mur; he that the p bridge: and other fucilities secured by 'Bengog ought by all means to increase the valge of the property there, Mr. Lack considers that the matter is not debatable, the Valgators are the servants of the Council and the report must vither be adopted or rejected. Mr. Wright moved that the Committee arise--Lost. The Committee arose ani re- ported the report without amendment, On motion for the adoption, Nr. Graham moves that the report be not now adopted but referred to the valuators to reconsider the valuation of Scugog with regard to the In- dian lands. . Mr, Smith, Scoft, handled the matter in a manly aud generous manner, he suid Scott had been raised but he was not going to depreciate his municipality in order to have its proportion lowered, he was pleased to know that Scott wus prospering and while they did not wish to pay more, they would never demur at paying their just proportion of the general expenses of the Connty. Mr. Feasby sat upon the valuators amid the laughter of the members; he gave a glowing description of the route taken by them in passing through Uxbridge. Much of the value of Uxbridge township, he said had been in its pine woods but since the pines have been cut the value should be greatly teduced and thinks the valuntors should bave further reduced the proportion of that township, Mr. Rowland spoke in a similar strain but he thinks Scot has no cause of com- plaint he would not set himself up to criti- cise the valuation, he will support the report, Mr. Cunningham says a fair and equitable valuation should be made and when it is made it should not be soon disturbed, if the valuation is what it ought to be nothing can be gained by distmibing it. Mr, Sharp complains that Cannington is over-rated, that the properly is really not worth the sum at whicli it is rated and con siders the valuation unfair to a young vil lage like Cannington. Mr. Bickell considers that the 'valuators have done their work well and they have shown a commendable courtesy in answering all questions put to them unlike the late valuators who when they brought in their report refused to answer any questions. Mr. Graham moyes that ths report be not pow adepted but that it be referred to th: raluators to take into consideration the 3 matter of the Indian lands.--Lost. The motion for the adoption being again 3 put Mr. I. J. Gould moved the six month.' hoist, --Lost. The yeas were Messrs, Graham, Sharp, Gould and Wright. Nays, ull the rest. Again on motion for adoption, Mr. Wright moved the report back to. reduce the valua- ~---- | tion of Port Perry; but as he could get no seconder the motion fell to the ground and the report was adopted the four yeas above voting nay. On motion of Mr. Wright $10 was order- ed to be paid to the contractor of the Seugog bridge for extra work, On motion to pay the Valuators the sum of $200 each Mr. McRae with a gushing recklessness similar to that of the hen with the horse's oats, moved that the Valuators be paid $300 each, : Mr Smith calls attention to the by-law appointing the Valuators, which fixes the salary at-$200 each, so orders were given for the payment of $200 each. VALUATION, In the new ion the hip of Brock pays $12.98 of every $100 required for general county purposes, Brock will huve to pay 59 cents more than it did under the late valuation, Now tbe county requires atleast $20,000 a year for general purposes vo that in fature Brock will have to pay $118 a year more for county rate than it formerly did.

On motion of * Mr. Burnett the court went nto secret session for ten minutes to consid. er the matter of tenders. Court resumed its public setting. Mr. R. Phair demurred against the by-law. He said he had signed to have the work done but he finds that there is not sufficient fall to drain the swamp, and his property beings long way from the Wiver he fears his lands wout be drained. He would like to kdow whether the council would be liable if any lands were found to be less worth than the tax for drainage. The court replied that if any portion of land failed to pay such taxes the lands would either be sold or the council would assume 'them as the council guarantees payment of the debentures. On motion of Mr, Burnett it was resolved that $600 be added pro rata to the $1000 set forth in the drainage by-law and thatthe debentures be mhde payable in fitteen equal annual instalments with interest from the 31st day of Dec. now next and that the first payment shall become due and payable on the 1st day of Dec 1882.
