near Newmarket it had Larke and Gray, ex 'ns, were invited to seats beside A HO URE OF REFUGE. Mr. Millard moved that a special committee be appointed to procure Statistica "ance of Houses of Industry in other parte of this province; us compared 'with the present mode of providing for the in this county and to report the advisability of establishing such an institation in this county ; the committee to consist of the following gentleioen : The Warden and Messrs, Mowbrny (Pickering), Edmonson, Ents, Mowbray (E. Whitly), King, Blanchard, Munro, and the wover, their report. to be presented at the dane session of this coticil, Mr. Miliard said in support of his motion that his titdicipality Leng » becon®é ap went thit the house of refuge in that AN 7 Years vrs ago in favor of such an fostitu- uon. After some ganeral talk on the ques- tion. Mr. Lake was asked to give his views. lle said that at the instance of this council he hud at one time visit- vd several Houses of Refuge. He could not rueall a great deal of it to wind, Lut the results of his trip were embodied in a report which may be found iu the winates of that year. He had noticed that members of council strongly oppose houses of refuge, not on their own opinion, but because they believe their constitueats to Le op- posed to them. Another. thing which hinders the progress of this work is the local jealousies which spring up in wembers' minds as to location. Oar country is greatly favored during this period of hard times. In New York and Chicago the poverty and wretched- ness is simply indiscribable. In New York there is system about the plan of relief, and it works perfecfly. In Ohi- cago there is no system, and the beg- gars beset one like ravenous animals. The ouly way to handle the poor is Ly system, by a means provided for that purpose. It has been a feature of these institutions in England and the United States that they bave been corruptly handled in the past. Our modern system has largely abolished auch abuses, He believes in a series of «mall cottages, und then place kincred minds together. The separation pre- | data from the early settlement of this county | Tig vents contamination, for poor people | to the present time, It being understood, | wre generally cranks, and are thus dangerous associates. He lelieves it would be well for this council to send a small committee to visit the more successful of such institutions in the Province. The report of such a com- mittee would be valuable in cousider- ing the matter. Mr. Ham--Does this motion mean any expense! fe. Millard--No. Mr, Edmonson said he had formerly been opposed to an organized system of providing for the poor, but has Leen converted to the idea, Oshawa does all it can by the present wethod, Lut is only able to barely keep the poor from starvation, They can give no comfort, which can ouly be secured Ly providing a howe for the destitute. Mayor Rutledge, secretary of the committee appointed at the recent con- vention at Whithy, was called upon, and said he had taken the trouble to write to every House of Refuge in any county in the Province, and bas laid all the information he could acquire upon the table of council. Nothing hut personal inspection cou'd go further than this budget does. Mr. King said the Province has a standing offer to supply one-fourth of of the money spent on such an insti- tution to the extent of $16,000. This as to the cost and mainten- of | this council 1+ e mnjority of Yole Two ated vil by section 52 of said Act; (2) to grant to township councils the power to have the assessment made tricnnially instead of annually, and (3), power to unite the offices of oll and treasurer. Your com. mittee are of the opinion that the Municipal Act is interfered with to an extent not war- ranted by the of the case, thereby causing trouble and coufusion continually and cannot therefore recommentl any action. H. J. Gourp, Chairméh, On the first clause Mr. G. E. Mow- bray asked what was meant about the municipal bodies appointing all officials which draw their from the county or people of the county, Does it mean that we are to appoiut the officials in PAR Mr. Goul "appointments wade by t council would mean n series of logioll: ings without cud. Mr. Gould said the trouble with ap- pointments for life was that the officials get old and useless, Lut are still kept in office by Government, and the ser- vice suffers frem their infirmity and old-fashioned methods. © Electing them periodically would secure younger snd more modernized men. ' Mr. Coulthard is opposed to govern- ment appointments. Let those who pay wan have his selection. He doee not want anyone in authority to hire men to do his work, preferring to do that part humself, The system of one man making appointments and others paying theshot is glaringly inconsistent, and subject to abuse. Mr. Edmonson believes in the pre- sent system. The clause passed. Mr. Dowsell read the report of the Printing committee which recommend- ed the payment of a number of small accounts, The report was adopted. 2ND REPORT ON EDUCATION. Recommending that $536,48 be paid the Uxbridge high school board in full of their disputed account. Your committee have also had under consideration the communica tion from tne Canadian inetitute appealing for aid by the grunting of rewards or other: wise, to encourage the collection of a his- torical data for a History of the County of Ontario, Yoar committee believes that the object is a most laudable one, and appeals to the patriotism of the residents of this | sounty. We therefore recommend that the ! sum of 830 (Fifty dollars) be granted as re- | wards for the Dest collection of historical | however, thut such collection must have | sufficient meiit in the judgment of this | council to entitle the collection of such grant. | And that the clerk be and is hereby author- {ized to let the same be known in a manner | that he may deem the ost expedient.

June session he will move for a grant to the Scugog and Cartwright road way. Mr. Willcox introduced and carried through a by-law to appoint Wm. Bate- man commissioner of the Scugog bridge instead of Wm. Reader, Mr. Willcox moved to introduce a Ly-law to provide that instead of a per diem sllowance of $3 and mileage the members of council should receive a sessional allowance of $12 and mileage. He said the $3 per day was carried in 1887 under the plea that the hotel expenses of members were higher under the Scott Act ; but it had been left at that figure when prices came down under again under license. We should economize, and at any rate he believes that four days sre quite enough to do all the Lusiuess of a session. Mr. Haw said Mr. Willcox talked like a wen who was introducing a measure in order to: provide election was an offer worth ing, and be, but was afraid it would he would strongly advise aappointing | POSS & committee to place the facts of this watter before the council in order that the question of the whole county erect- ing a house of refuge may be decided, 1f the county does not choose to do so, then those municipalities which are in favor of building one on their own hook may go on and do it. Mr Gould hopes the statistics gather- ed hy this committee will cover the rescat experience of counties where ouses of refuge exist, as well as in places where they have none.

Grassrorp, Chairman. On the clause in the report to grant $25 to each mechanics' institute in the county. Mr. Edmonson says the government grant to mechanics' institutes is a fixed sum, and the share coming to each de- creases as the number of iustitutes grows, Therefore those who now get them started in a very few years will ' find the indacement by way of govern- ment grant almost gone. This isa rich county, and has only nine or ten institutes, whereas it should have twenty. The towns and large villages have them, and thissystem of education should now be'opened to farmers. An institute with fifty members at &1 each can draw $100 from the government. If it could nlso secure §25 from the county and §25 from the municipality it would wean §3 for one, or $200 worth of books for £60 a ytar put in. apportionment will not hold good much longer, Mr. King favored the grant. Mr. G. E. Mowbray talked economy. Mr. Willcox said there was wore economy being talked now when an at- tempt was being made to spread educa- tion thau there was yesterday when the pay of members was being consider- i! 3 4 The grant was defeated by 16 to 18, and when Mr, Edmondson moved to refer it back it was worse still.

Senator MeKiuley professor of protection in the United States, applied the strong- est kind of plaster and still the wab- bling infants have not a leg to staud on, and the simple mention of the re- moval of the plaster is throwing them into hysterics and they are crawling on ll fours and piteously begging to keep the plaster on.
