Referring to the business likely to come up this session, he referred to the equalization of the county assessment as the most important. It was generally felt that the present edualization could be improved on, and he trusted that if any discussion arose it would be charâ€" acterized by firmness and moderation and a disposition to give and take what would hbe just to all. It would be gratifying if the assessment could be reâ€"arranged by the council without going to the expense of appointing county valuators. _ He referred to a number of bridge matters that would engage the attention of the council, also to the circulation of the »Good Roads" addresses, for which the press of the county deseryes so much credit, and said these sheets had given a great stimulus to the art of road making in the nnlniclpali(ies. In view of the fact that the Euphrasia school arbitration The Warden closed his address by a brief patriotic reference to the war in South Africa, and to the good work done by the Red Cross Society, to which the council had given a grant of $100 at its January session, The Warden and Council of County of Grey. Your Worship and Gentlemen. â€"On behalf of the Corporation of the Town of Durham I beg to extend to you a hearty welcome on the occasion of your June session noew being held in our town. This I understand is not the first time the Town of Darham has had the honor of your yisit, seeing that a session was held here 31 years ago. As the executive heard of the Corâ€" poration, I feel gratified and pleased that you should honor us again by vour presence. I trust your impresâ€" sions of the town will be most favorâ€" able and that you will have no reason to think that the diversion from the custom of holding the County Council sessions in the County Town is an illâ€" advised act. The County of Grey which you have the honor to represent, and I belieye you are justly worthy of that honor, is the largest County in the Province and there are many now living who can remember the plece where we now are as a primeval forest, the hunting ground and camping place of an Iudian tribe. Many can remember the first tew huts that were erected to accomodate the yery few that had the temerity to select this as a place of residence. Sir session of the Council by the Clerk, the Warden Mr John McDonald, of Chatsâ€" worth. addressed the mentbers briefly. After welcoming themall back he saf:i this was the second time in the hismrz of the new ‘County Council on whic they had hbeld a session outside of the County town. Two years ago they had held their June meeting in L%onturd and now they were met in the substantial town of Durham. The Meaford meetâ€" ing had been successful and we bhad no doubt this one would be equally so. There was a difference of opinion about moving around, but while personâ€" ally opposed to it he belieyed the objecâ€" tions were exaggerated. The expense was practically 5\0 same, for while some had longer mileage others had shorter ; other county Councils, notably those of Simeoe :md) Bruce, moved about ; the twnple of every part of the county had een paying taxes into the County treasury tor the past 50 or 60 years, and if there wasany }mnm- or advantage in bholding the County Council in any particular place, one place had as much right to it as another. Time has passed. The energy and enterprise of the people have caused the forest to disappear,; bright, cheerâ€" ful, beautiful homes have sprung up, and business blocks that woulid be a credit to any town are now in eviâ€" dence, and though we have not proâ€" gressed as rapidly as some towns, we baye advanced steadily and at the present time we feel we are at the dawn of: a florious advancement in commercial, industrial{and educational interests. In closing my words of welcome. Kermit me to extend to you a most earty welcome, and a warm and corâ€" dial invitation to frequently repeat the present visit. I have the honor to be Gentlemen Your obedient seryant Wa. Laipuaw, Mayor of Durham. Reply to the Mayor‘s address of welâ€" come to the Counltzy Council submitâ€" ted by J. W.
