HOUSE 01“ REFUGE DISCUSSION. Messrs. Frost and l‘otten moved that this Council deem it advimble to procure a groper site for the erection of a suitable uilding or buildings for a House of Refuge. Mr. Frost opened the debate, vigm'ously’ supporting the institution. There were fourteen similar institutions in the province 3““! they could profit by their experience. He did not believe the poor house would in- .cnr improvidence. It was intended for those ' who have become shipwrecked on the ocean of life, not ,traunps. He admitted it would cost the County a. little more, but the addi- tional expense would be justifiable. Tue jail. whicu forever cast a stigma on their name, was no lace for paupers. rhe grand juries. the ju ges. the press, all favored it. These represented the intelligence of the country. were looking for the benefit of the country and were the men who were accus mined to think. M r. McDonald spoke in opposition to the r house. The Council be said was too turd headed to bea‘ppealed to by sentiment. Tnere were only 12 or 13 counties out of 5.3 that had a house of refuge. This, he claim- ed. was: poor showing. In some counties where these institutions were established a . long time ago they were doing away with ' them. He claimed there were practicaliy no min the townships, and to build suen l ”fluctuation would encourage Daupermn. ‘ _‘*' Harm J. J. Kelsi), superintendent of l â€" vâ€"“v-v-nv Dr. ‘Vm.

Mr. Watson, secretarv of the Central Agricultural Society at Walters’ ‘alls, ad- .dressed the Council in the interests of that :society, asking a grant of $75.

They always had aid, he said. from the county till last year, when it was .no._furthc:_mnigg. Several communications, school reports, eecpunts, etc., were read and referred to z-thexr proper commxttees. "Mayor Middlebro addressed the Council «on behalf of the hospital. He said that the :tuwn was giving $500 towards the mainten- .ance of the institution, while the County gave only 8200 He cited 14 cases in ”litter- .ent parts of the province which showed that .the a verage amount given by Counties :in these cases was $459.89, while the aver- .age given by the towns for the same instiâ€" tutions in the 14 cases was $432.14, which .showed that Owen Sound gave $67.86 more .than the average for towns. while the Coun- ty gave $259.89 less than the average for1 counties. He asked that the Council grantl siflflt'or the support of the hospital. The matter was reterred to the Finance Com- mittee. The Rev. Mr. Lediard addressel the CounJ rcil briefly on the work of the Children’s I -Aid Society. He gave an account of the; work done by the Society, and asked that? the Council give a grant of $100 for the pur- pose of wrrying on the worlg. This was re- :ferred to the Fxnance commlttee. The council resumed on Tuesday evening with the warden in the chair and all the .members present. .’A number of communications and accounts were read and referred to their proper committeas.

Brown than spoke briefly to the effect that the reason of Mr. Paterson’s small majority was on account of a letter published the day before the election in Meaford. written by Mr. C. R. Sing, counselling the County to be careful how they dealt with the matter of the House of Refuge. Mr. Brown said he was in favor of a' House of Refuge on general pnncxples. The committee rose and reported and the annnnil rocnmnA __â€"â€"vd v Mr. McColeman was the next speaker. He said they as a Council should be guided by the plebiscite vote and erect an institu- tion for the poor of the County. THE WARDEN TALKS POINTEDLY. Mr. Chas. Gordon dealt very fully with the case and said that the Home should be built. The arguments used on the other side were not arguments at all. Mr. Mc- Donald had been tryingto turn township a ainst township and all against the town. '1 his was most despicable. Mr. McDonald’s statement in an Owen Sound paper some time ago were glittering with assumption from beginning to end. Mr. Gordon said. he had a statement from the Warden of J Bruce to the effect that the Home there was in a very favorable. condition and he hoped that Grey would forlow suit. _‘ __v- -v VV v..va..‘luvx'. LhUlCl ’ ring to Mr. Paterson’s slim mai'urity he said I that Mr. Davis, his opponent, lad .defeated “Mr. Paterson in a previous election by a Emajority of 96 and Mr. Paterson had now f deteated him by a majority of 32. Mr. Mc- Donald had said that there were no poor in the county, and again he said that there would never be less than 100 in the poor house. Mr. McDonald had also cast reflec- tion on the Grand Jury, who wree selected as honest. upright men. He had also said that the 'udges were not aLle to judge in a matter lii<e this. He, Mr. Richardson, did not think that such was the case. If any one was able to express an intelligent opin- 1011. the judges were the ones. (Applause.) Mr. Allan took up the discussion and said . the sooner Owen Sound was incorporated as ‘ a city and left the county to itself the better it would be for the rest of the county. ‘- h C l Wherever the system had been adopte it had been kept going and in several in- , stances the buildings had been enlarged. ' In the States where corruption was preva- ~ lent, the larger part of the money voted to ,1 such institutions went into the pockets of l the party heelers. The Council had it in their power to rectify this. and it was their duty to do so and as soon as possible. It defeated this time it would be brou ht up again and would ultimately be carrie . The time would come when this institution would be an absolute necessity. Mr. McDonald had stated that if all relief to the poor was stopped, pauperism would disappear. This was an assumption. The Lord had said that "The poor we would have always with us,” and his word was not to‘be doubted. Refer- ..s~LA ‘.-_ " l l I r The Council resumed the discusfion at 7.30 Wednesday evening in committe of the whole, with Mr. Totten in the chair. Mr. ! Richardson was the first speaker and in a very fine flow of rhetoric he dealt very fully with the pros and cons of the subject. He said that there were no surer means by which one could gauge the advance of civil- ization than by the care and respect shown to the aged and infirm. He hoped it would be from a stand point of ad vanced civilization that this subject would be discussed. The reason that so few counties had adopted such institutions was because men had been appealed to through their most sordid in~ stincts. and not as it should have been, through their duty as Christian men. ‘IYI poor house. The press reports were very fair last January and on this account and a careful study of the question this revulsion has taken place. The cost would be$24,(X)0. Each inmate would cost $1.20 per week, and there would be not less than 100 inmates, makinga total cost r year of 86,500 for maintenance. not inc uding sala- ries. The cost now is 53.500. Bruce paid 1330,000tostart with, and a lot of extras” From the Simcoe County Poor House there' had been a great exodus in the spring, one man. Dick Goodwin, leaving because he didn’t like the board. Dr. Dauard of New York said there was a shortage of $5,000.(D0 in the Poor House accounts of that State. while in Massachusetts they were closing them up or selling them. Mr. McDonald resumed his seat after speaking an hour and three quarters. Council adjourned till charities, as authority for saying that the tendency is to do too much for the poor ra- ther than too little. and even the clergy were not all in favor of it. The unthrgfty ones favored it. while the majority of think: ing ople o sed it. The ress favoreu the ouse ofpfigfuge because t e towns were ‘ favorable. and the majorit of the subscrib- ers were in the towns. T e Grand Juries in their presentment; only agreed with the question to please the Judge. The Judges were not in a position to judge. He would I sooner have the opinion of an ordinary‘ councillor. He then went on to Show that since the taking of the plebiscite there was a great revulsion of feeling in Division No 7 where M r.

Paylor on the 6th Jas. Nelson on the 4th and Messrs J. and E. W. Hunt on the 8th had the finest crops of fall wheat ; that Thos. G1eenwood Jas. Atkinson and M. J. Davis had the rankest peas; that R. Edge’sfield of hay will go three tons to the acre and that Mr. J. Davis at the Saugeen Bxidge has the finest field of barlev . Others are good, but these are excellent. Every one has a. good word for Mr. M. McGrath, our cream-hauler. He is ever in afl'able mood, always careful about his work and as punc- tual as a. Waltham. Mr. Peter Neil is noted for always having everything snug about his premises. hence, the barn is getting a rew roof The roadwork is nearly all com- pleted in this neighborhood and it has been well done, too.
