Section 2. -â€"The number of Council- loxs to he e ‘ccted in any township or v illu To in accordance with the provis- ions of the Consolidated Municipal Act of 1903, shall be decreased by the num- ber of Deputy Reeves to be elected thereinâ€"but this provision shall not apply to towns. Section 3.â€"Such Reeves and Deputy 1 Reeves shall be elected by general vote‘ in the manner provided by the Consol- idated Municipal Act, 1903, for the i t chlion of Mayors of towns and Reev es and Councillors 1n villages and townships, and they shall be members of the Council of the municipality in which they are elected. DURHAM, DECEMBER 13, I have copied these clauses of the Act, as 1 am aware that others have fallen into the same error as that to which I have referred above; and I know also that comparatively few have the statutes to hand, to which they could refer. In the Ontario stat- u tes of 1904, chapter 22, section 3, sub- section (1) provision is made for the Mayors of towns not separated from the County having a place as members of the County Councils; but the Coun- ty Council’s Act from which I have quoted above changes the representa- , tion from the Mayor to the Reeve and Deputy Reeve in towns. The Act which provided for the Mayors repre- senting towns in County Councils was passed in 1904 ; the Act authorizing the election of Reeves and Deputy Reeves to constitute the County Councils was passed in 1906â€"and the latter will, of course. govern.
