P, Christie was appointed Assessor for the present year. : On motion of Mr, Campbell, Mr. 8. P. Burber was appointed License Inspector for Division No. 2, of this Towaship--and E. Walker for Division No. 1. Mr. Campbell begged leave to introduce a By-law 10 appoint certain Township offi cers-- Leave granted. The By-law was then introduced for ap- pomting D.

Barber as License Inspec- tor for Division No. 2, for the present year. On notion of Mr. Campbell, the By-law was read a first and second time. Mr Campbell moves that the By-law be read a third time--that the Reeve sign the same ; and that the Clerk attach the Cor- porate seal thereto,-- Carried. A claim of $16 60 in behalf of Mr. S. Baird as Uamages sustained by him--$12 being for sheep destroyed by dogs and $4 60 for expenses. The legal certificate having been lodged. On motion of Mr. Campbell the Clerk was instructed to grant an order on the Treasurer in favor of Mr. Baird for the amount and charge the same to tfie account of Dog Tax. Mr. Campbell stated that he saw both the Collectora for last year in the roo'n--and having been informed that they had some communication lo make to the Council, he begged that they be heard.--Leave granted, Mr. Shaw came forward and said that he had not much fo say-- Lis object for coming forward being simply to complain regarding the remuneration granted him as Collector for the past year. He considered the sum granted by the late Council ($60) quite - ip- adequate to the work perlormed,- that the labor was increasing every Yoatut the re- muneration was diminishing. He said that in 1864 the Collectors received $70 ; in 1865 and mn 1866-60. Nor thetartivs that a larger amount of money is being collected -- and also the Dog Tax-- besides the Collec tors had now to copy the Rolls. Mr. Barber--the other Collector--corro- borated the statements of Mr. Shaw. He stated that he had collected above $7,000, while all that had been allowed him--he understood-- was $60, which was not near- ly one per cent on the amount collected. Mr. Campbell moved that the sum of $10 be granted to each of the collectors as balance of salary, as he considered that the complaints of the collectors were well founded--he was aware that their labor had been considerably increased. Mr. Gordon wished to know if there had been no agreement as to salary made with the Collectors. Finding that there had been no agreement, he said he did not object to the grant, but he disliked the term, he would prefer the term supplement. After a few more remarks from Mr. Campbell the motion was carried. Mr. Barber stated that Mr. Stilwell had been assessed for two dogs--and paid sail Nox bile the fact is fhat he 4 oped only. Mr. Campbell moves that the sum of $1 be refunded to Mr. Stillwell being an over charge in consequence of an error in assess- ment. : Mr. Gordon admonished the Council to guard against hasty legislation in such matters--he had no doubt but that the mat- ter was all right in the present instance, but it became them to act with caution in refunding this tax as it was establishing a precedent, : The motion was then carried. Mr. Barber stated that he had .not yet returned his Roll on account of yne or two descrepancies in the amounis--and ong or wo other matters. On motion the mattérs in dispute were handed to the Reeve in order to their being investigated by him while at Whitby. .
