Mr. Cameron thanked the Coiincil for the honor conferred on him, tho- ugh he felt "his inability to fill the position, and took the liouor as having been accorded to him because he was an old member of the Council. He would try to do what was just and right in conducting the affairs of the Council.

Minutes of last day of Dccembei session were read and signed. Permission having been given, the President of the East Grey Agricult- ural Society addressed the Council, asking for a grant of from $50 to $100, to enable them to bold a Seed Show, where farmers might be able to j[et good seed, and give tham a chance to exchange seed grain. He referred to the importance of such a show, as large quantities of grain in the County had been frozen which was unsaleable, and some farmers who have to sell what they had reserved lor seed. Dr. Christoe said if the South Grey and North Grey Agricultural Societies made a similar request in common with East Grey the matter^ would come Lefore the Finance Committee. The Warden read a communication from the County Judge, complaining of want of proper accommodation for the Jncige.

A motion by Mr. Middleton, second- ed by Mr. Rogers, asking that a mem- orial be drafted and forwarded to the properties in the different municipal- ities at the time of inspection of the same, but subsequently at Owen Sound or else where â€" would this be a violation of the statute and an infrac- tion of the By-law appointing them and defining their duties 3rd â€" Should it be true that much of the inspection of the property in the County was made by only two of the porsons appointed as Valuators â€" would this be fatal to the defence of the report in the ayent of adverse action being taken dth â€" Should it be a fact that the report after its adoption was discovered to contain numerous and grave errors in additions calculation â€" would the Committee on Finance and Assessment be obliged to use the said adopted report as their guide, not withstanding the pres- ence of such errors This motion brought on consider- able discussion, the majority of the Council thinking it was out of place to again bring up the question of the legality of the appointment of the Valuators, after their work was com- pleted, and further, that it reflected on the Valuators and tlieir work.
