V The Trustees have faith that a still larger number will help. The Physician’s offices, throat rooms, eta, up to the present have occupied rooms in the hospital that rightly belong to patients. To make better provision for the work, and furnish more accommo- dation, a new administration building is now under way. A cottage for the Physician and his young wife had also to be built. “ One has to lead a life of concealment. If I go away from this place people are afraid of me.” This is the sad lot of those who sufier from this dread disease. On behalf of the thousands who are sick and will not be received by other hospitals, I make this appeal for the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives. A bright young lawyer at the Muskoka Sanatorium for Consump- tives some weeks ago, speaking of the burden placed upon him by having consumption, said: THE STANDARD "BANK Dear Friend :â€" ‘To provide for this outlay, and to care for patients for the coming year, we must secure at least $50,000. The Muskoka. Free Hospital for Consumptives never refused a. patient because of his or her inability to pay. It cares for those Whom other hospitals refuse. It cares for those Whom other people are afraid of. 7 “I was sick and ye visited me,’ was Christ’s commendation. Should not a. richer benediction be yours if from a. loving heart your dollar makes a. golden visit to this hospital, bringing health and joy to those Whom other people fear, and whom, in many cases, nobody wants.

MM” ESTABLISHED 1.73 OF CANADA Report No. 3 of the road and bridge committee recommended for payment a. number of accounts and that the petition of Charles Willoughby and fifteen others for the erection of two bridges over the Grand River on the townline between Proton and Melanc- thon be laid over until the January session. When council met another lengthy list. of accounts were presented by the clerk, including a report of Isaac Traynor, engineer on the Priceville bridge. Mr. Preston read report No. 2 from thefinance committee recommending for payment the clerk’s postage ac- count and granting a free peddler’s license to Noah Pionick for six months. James Leslie read report No. 1 of the county property committee re- commending that a number of ac- counts he paid; that electric lights be supplied for the vaults in the registry office and that no action be taken relative to stationery or typewriter. Report No. 1 of the education com- mittee was read by Mr. Ball. It re commended that the communication relative to forming a new union school section between the village of Neustadt and the township of Nor- manby be referred back to be dealt with by arbitration. A number of accounts were also passed and recom- mended for payment. Accounts to- the amount of $1553.16 were recommended for payment in report No, 2 of the House of Refuge committee. The report further re- commended the confirming of pay. ments by the manager to the amount of $364.40. With reference to the presentment of the.grand jury the report stated that a Special meeting of the House of Refuge committee had been called by Dr. Bruce Smith, government inspector, and a thorough investigation held into the charges made in the grand jury’s present- ment. After going over the present- ment clause by clause and interview- ing all the inmates the only serious complaint, .as far as could be ascer- tained, was the non-supply of sugar in the tea used by the male inmates. The report also stated that Mr. Arlidge, the only member of the grand jury who was present at the investigation, had admitted that the presentment could be greatly modi- tied, and that the information receiv- ed was from chronic kickers and grumblers. The report expressed the Opinion that it was high time the law should be changed, and that all grand juries should endeavor to make themselves acquainted with all the facts before issuing a report. It was also recommended that sugar be Toronto F”. .. M‘ THURSDAY EVENING.

The ney addition to the can has been completed at a net cost of $711.82. and anew cement sidewalk laid coating $196.25, The report was considered in committee and passed after.some amendments had been made. Mr. M. K. Richardson,‘ an ex-war- den of the county, was introduced to the members and addressed 'them on various matters of interest. after which an adjournment was Ede until. Friday afternoon. we. FRIDAY AFTERNOON. When the council resumed business the clerk presented, along with a fresh lot of accounts, an application from 'L‘homas Harness, manager of the House of Refuge. for an increase of salary. Mr. Ball submitted the report of the special committee appointed to visit the House of Refuge as follows: â€"“We found the building in first class condition as to cleanliness and Warmth. We found lavatories on every floor occupied by the inmates. also lamps in the halls to furnish light to the same. We found the couches and rocking chairs ordered by the council in June last to be now installed. We found the heating apparatus and temperature in first class condition but no thermometers in the building. Your committee took the sworn evidence of the ten inmates, seven of whom were on the petition to the council asking for improved conditions. A majority of those signing the petition testified that they were not aware of the con- tents oi same, but had. simply signed because they were requested to do so. We found all the witnesses ex c'eptxng two testified that they were satisfied with the conditions and had really no complaint to ofier. The complaints of these two were consid- ered trifling by the committee, as may be seen in the evidence. George David complained that one day he sufiered somewhat from cold. He also stated that for one period of two months there was no butter served to the inmates. Very little of the man’s evidence was corroborated by the other witnesses examined. This man’s evidence created an impression on your committee that it was net reliable. George Boy, the other in- mate mentioned, was placed in the cell for a period of twenty-four hours for disobedience to the rules in for :e as to attendance at Divine service. This occurred some three years ago, since then the rules have been» amended in this respect, and now full liberty is given to the inmates to attend Divine service or not as they choose. The clergymen of all denominations are allowed full liber- ty to visit and minister to the spirit- ual necessities of the inmates belong~ 1 ing to their respective denominations. . iWe loun-d, in conversation with the inmates. that these Sabbath services are much appreciated by them. many of whom are on the verge of the grave. Other than this. Geo. Roy had no particular complaints outside of the clmhes supplied him by the institution. We found that the inmates were supplied with butter from one to three times per week and that the male inmates were not sup- Report No. 4 of the road and bridge committee recommending for pay- ment a further list of accounts and the filing of engineer Isaac Praynor’s report relative to the Priceville bridge. and of the communication from the Halton county council re increased grants for improvements of public highways. The report also stated that the committee had exam- ined the new reinforced concrete bridge over the Pettawatamie river, between Owen Sound and Brooke and found it to be a very strong and durable structure. As it was not finished according to contract $100 was withheld from the payment until the work was completed and passed by the engineer and committee. James Leslie read report No. :3 of' the county property committee,which recommended that half a dozen chairs be purchased for the solicitor’s library and that a ventilating skylight be put in the jail store room. A number of accounts were passed and ordered to be paid. That the action of the committee be ratified in refusing to accept coal of an inferior quality from C. K Baioes. and calling for other tenders, the lowest of which was J. K. McLauchlan at $6.36 per ton. Report No. 1 of the printing com- mittee as read by Mr. Schenk recom- mended the payment of accounts and that the minutes of November session be in the clerk’s hands for distribu- tion not later than December 20th. vâ€"vâ€" {hon tithe"; 1am WANTED AT ONCE-We have decided to instruct; and employ a numbeyot emu-t yam him to teach our cpurse m "D; - ~9â€" famil can learn from one course.

Plan. $313: :‘vgg an devote your whole -___ m".- ant-AA? plied with sugar except in their food, We are glad to state that the House of Refuge committee have made some recommendations in this respect. Two inmates, resident here. who have been maintained in other Houses of Refuge in the Province testify that they much preferred the treatment received in this House to what e-chey received in the Other Houses. We find that the true object of the House of Refuge has, not been lost sight of in an eflort to make a good financial showing rather than the comfort and happiness of the inmates. We also find that the butter, cream and milk produced on the farm have not been sold but have been entirely used on the premises. and only the surplus vegetables which could not be used were sold. We found no complaint Whatever from the inmates as to non receiving a sufficient supply of milk and vegetables of-a quality quite satisfactory. W's find that the complaint as to the coldness in the morning is wholly due to the opening of the Windows of the dormitories for ventilation purposes. and as there are no other apartments which they may occupy during the day we do not think there is good ground for complaint in this reSpect. We found sufficient seating accommodation and abundance of couches and rocking chairs for the further comfort of the female inmates. \Ve believe in an institution of this kind discipline must be enforced. and we think it is a compliment to the management that on only one occas- ion since the eatablishment of the institution has confinement in the cell been resorted to. This cell we find is used only in extreme cases. and we find that it is reasonably com- fortable for the purpose for which it is intended. The custom of the put has not been to conform to a system of cast iron rules for the management of the institution, but that tact and kindness have been used at all times and that firmness has been tempered with justice and mercy. After a careful and thorough investigation we are of the opinion that this insti- tution is carefully and capably man- aged, and the peeple of the county may rest assured that no serious grievance exists. but that the inmates are carefully provided for. On motion of Mr. Stephenson, sec- onded by Mr. D Sinclair. report Nc. 1 of the House of Refuge committee as amended in committee was adapt- ed. This was followed by a motion from Messrs.
