It has been said that the vote m favor of it came from the towns. Notso, all the northern part of the county returned a vote in favor Some objected to it, he said, on the ground that it would incur improvid- ence. This was not so. Hope lives eternalin the human breast and no one would look onward to spending their last days in the poor house. It was intended for those who had be- come shipwrecked on the ocean of life, not trumps. Man's inhumanity to man made counties millions mourn. Those who least expected it in early life were sometimes the ones who were by force of circumstances, compelled to go to such an institution. A House of Refuge might not entirely till the bill, but there was perhaps nothing that exactly did. The poor might be placed in private homes in some in- stances, bat only a few, and these as a rule. were not properly cared for. Mr. Frost opened the debate with the statement that this had been forced on the Council in the start and now that the plebiseite had been taken it should be carried through. There were fourteen similar institutions in differ- ent portions of the province and they could protit by their experience. Report No. l of the Education com- mittee recommended that the petition of Geo. Kenney and others be granted re the formation ot a new school section in Artemesia, and that John McDonald be appointed arbitrator ac- cording to the Act. allowing the County Council to appoint the third man. HOUSE or REFUGE Discussrox. Messrs. Frost and Totten moved that this Council deem it advisable to pro- cure a proper site for the erection of a suitable building for a House of Refuge. Report No. l ofthe Road and Bridge committee was read and adopted. It contained the account of Young and Leslie tor $50.28 and of' the Board of Worksof Owen Sound tor $11.25. Dr. Wm. Ferris, Shallow Lake, spoke for 54 residents of Shallow Lake asking to have the Place formed into a police village. . hey were recom- mended to have a draft of a by-law prepared and submit it. Consideration was promised for a grant ot $75 to Walters’ Falls Agri. Society. Warden Gordon promised that theit interests would receive careful consid- eration. Mayor Middlebro addressed the Council on behalfot'the hospital. He said that the town was giving 85CO towards the maintenance of the in, stitution, while the County only gave 8200. He cited 14 cases in different parts of the province which showed "hat the average amount given by Counties in these cases was $459.89, while the average given by the towns for the same institutions in the 14 cases was 8432, 14, which showed that Owen Sound gave $67.86 more than the average for towns, while the County gave 8259,89 less than the average for I counties. He asked that the Council grant $500 tor the support ot the hospital. The matter was referred to the Finance committee. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON Sasson. Mr. Harry Wright addressed the Council on behalfotthe poultry inter- estsot the County ot Grey and asked the Council for a grant of 8100 " poultry shows througout the county. They always had aid, he said, from the county till last year, when it was not forthcoming. The Rev. Mr. Lediard addressed the Council briefly on the work of the Children's Aid Society. He gave an aceonntot the work done by the Sr ciety, and asked that the council give a grant of 8100 tor the purpose of carrying on the work. This was re- ferred to the Finance committee. It was decided to accept an invita. tion to inspect the G. and M. Hospital at 10 a. m. Tuesday. TUESDAY EVENING SESSION. The council resumed on Tuesday evening with the warden in the chair and all the members present. Mr. Paterson, who takes his seat this session for the fitst time, was placed on the sank: committees as his predecessor Mr. Ginny, via , Finance, County Property, Education and Printing.

In every township where a majority was given against it, he took the total assessment of those town- ships and put it against the total assess- ments of the other municipalities giving over 83,000,C00, against the of feeling took place. In Owen Sound where the largest majority was given there were only a few hundred acres of low land and this town was trying to coerce the county into building a house of refuge. There was a majority ofaPesynerfitin favor of not building the institution in the county of over an nnn Ann 7 - - - to please the judge. The judges. no matter what Mr. Frost said to the contrary, were not in a position to judge. He would sooner have the opinion of an ordinary councillor than ajudge in a matter like this. No doubt the press was in favor of it. If they were not there would be no use in them publishing at all, " the towns were all in favor of' it, and the greater number of subscribers were in the towns. The press had to say what the town people thought. IT WOULD ENCOURAGE PAUPERISM If the Council voted $1.000 for the hospital it would not make people blind or sick but in the other case it would encourage pauperism, and create the very population they wanted to get rid of. There had been a great revulsion of feeling against the house of refuge since last January, as was evidenced by the slim major- ity accorded Mr. Paterson in division No. 7, where he only received a majority of32 votes, while in January the same district gave a majority in ( favor of the poor house of 417 There _ were no other issues and the men were i about equal in personal popularity. Some clergymen had said that if a man did not vote for providing for the poor he was not a Christian, or words to that effect. The reports given of the arguments last January' in the press were very fair. People read them and studied them, and it was on account of this study that the revulsion I The unthriity people were the ones who were on the side of' building this institution while the majority of think- population were on the other side. This, unlike the Agricultural College, would haven. demoralizing eif'eet on the communits'. He knew for a fact that the gran Juries, in their present- ments. tytlyputr.'etd with the question J. J. Kelso, supt. of Charities, as say- ing that the tendency was rather to do too much for the poor than too little, and the Rev. Wnf. Frizzeu had said that the clergy were not all in favor of the house of refuge and a number would giye no opinion on the matter. who voted against it would be the proudest ot it. Mr. Totten said that this Poor House ttttn, had come up in the Grey aneil twenty years ago and now it was getting old. He used to be against it bat now he was in favor of it. He did not think it necessary to pay a large price. A few acres of and and a moderately sized house would be all that was necessary. Aneuuas'rs or AN OPPONENT. Mr. McDonald was the next speaker He said that Mr. Frost had started out deliberately enough and had waxed exeeedingly eloquent, yet his argu- ments were not in keeping with his eloquence. Phe Council was too hard l headed to be appealed toby sentiment. :He wanted to know how the question was forced on them, and he claimed that such was not the case, the depa. tation that waited on the Council was l from the people whom the law ex-l erupted from taxation. He would l prefer it otherwise. There were only 12 or 13 counties in the province out of about55that hada House of Refuge, which was by no means a good show- ing. Titre older counties refused to have any hing to do with it and why should Grey which was so much younger? In some countries where these institutions had been established a long time ago they were doing away with them. He claimed that the poor ot the townships were numerically small, that there Were practically none. To build this institution would be to encourage patyttrisrp. He cited Even the press was in favor of it. They represented the intelligence of the country, were looking for the benefit of the country and were the men in the count?" who were accus- tomed to think. hose who voted tor the establishment of this institution would live to be very thankful for having done so. Their duty as a Council was clear and they should do th.eir duty: After it was built those Tm: Jan, No FLAG: mu harms. He objected to sending upers to jail tobe herded with 'lhgfQlt' It foreyer cast a stigma on their name. He was not of those who thought it could be made 1trlHtetaini!yie' but believed it could be made partially so at least. The inspector of jails eta. complained about the putting Cl paw pers in the jail and said that the Government would have to take as the matter. The grand juries an judges were in favor of a home for the poor and they were in a position to Judge. It was said that the grand iuries only did it to please the judge. This was notso; they did it because they saw tor themselves the need of it. Because sod“: other counties mo mistakes it was not necessary that this one should. ofit.

He had also said that the jndges were not able to judge in a mutter like this, He. Mr. Richardson. did nctthink that such was the case. If any one was ahleto express an intelligent opinion. the judges were the ones. (Apphucse,; i There were only seven persons in ’ the jail as indigents and if these were taken out it would only make room .tor 3 seven tramps in the winter, By taking , them out at the jail it ro.ald not lessen , the cost of that institution. It cost , Bruce county $30.01?) on the start and t a lot of extras besides. In the Simcoe , county Poor House there had been a r great eXUdus in the spring. One man, ', Dick Goodwin lett because he did not like the board. Dr. Danard, of New York had said that there was a short. age of $5,000,000 in the poor house , accounts in that State, while in , Massachusetts they were closing them up or else sellinéethem. For his part he would nota pt a well equipped House of Refuge as a gilt. It would only increase the evil that they were trying toput down. It would be a. burden on the poor farmers of the i county to make them pay for a House of Refuge when they could barely make ends meet as it was. Respect- able poor people were actually aveise to going into such an institution. It would be an imposition to impose any- thing ot the kind on the people of this county on the strength of such a slender majority. Mr. McDonald re- sumed his seat after having spoken nearly an hour and three quarters, and the Council adjourned till 7 p. m. WILL ULTIMA'l‘l-JLY canny The Council resumed the discussion at 7.30 Wednesday evening in committee of the whole, witn Mr Totten in the chair. Mi. Richardson was the first speaker and in a very tine tlow of rhet- oric 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 civilization _ than by the care and respect shown to the aged and infirm. He hopedit would be from a standpoint of advanced civil- ilization that this subject would be dis- discussed. The reason that so few counties had adoped such institutions was because men had been appealed to 3 through their inst sordid instincts and not as it should haye been through their duty as Christian men. Wheriiver the system had been adoped it had been kept going and in several instances the build- ing had been enlarged. Inthe States, where corruption was prevalent. the larger part of the money voted to the institutions went into the bockets of party healers. The council had it in their power to right this great wrong. and it was their duty to do so and as soon as possible. If defeated this time it would be brought up again and would would ultimately be carried. 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. pauperlsm would disappear. This' was an assumpt- ion. The Lord had said that "The poor we would have always with us” and His word was not to be doubted. Referr- ' ing to Mr. Paterson‘s slim majority he said that, Mr. Davis. his opponent. had l, defeated Mr. Paterson in a previous election by 96 of a majority and Mr. Paterson had now defeated him by a majority of 32. Mr. McDonald had said I that there. were no poor in the county and again had said that there would , never be less than 100 in [the poor house. Ifthey were ttointttotmild one let them Mild one that would be a credit to the county, not a Pat, shack such " had been' proposed. he opinion of one man w o gives it thought 1: worth the opinion of a hundred men who give it no thought.
