Purveyor of was struck by a railway train and Ssq Comity of York You cannot expect a common farmer to measure you in literary matter spent a large portion of time in that voca tion while I have been following the plow I no reason wby I could not as near telling troth as I have no desire to detract from the ser vices rendered the county while In the Coanty Council It yoa were the upon which the whole Council revolved I fain roast believe you were if I accept veracity as portrayed in letter to me the wonder Is bow the vived lose of I have taken cursory glance over the minutes for years and I fall to find a single year In which a Warden did not receive pay for extra services and disbursements and while yon were Warden you were no exception to the role I find that some Wardens prior to received as high as in addition to their salaries as War den as the items were In small and scattered over a period twelve months your sir although a careful the proceedings of never whatever your private opinion may have been Now sir I never Vexed for a dollar oyer my salary never presented a bill for money expended by w In attend two special In at tending before the Private Committee the tiroes for five days and at- til days repairs to covers bridges northern part of county besides or other attending funerals of county servants York Bridge Co engineer Home Bradford J Bridge and several other matters of minor Outside of work done In coo- junction with Commissioners Council by me gave me J100 for extra services end disbursements and I accepted ft Now sir I yon if that is loss honorable than ft would have been to have voted It to myself sitting as the same as you did Commissioners of not multiply meetings for the sake of living on County never met they had something to do Confiding work to tho Warden etc I dare say that Is bat yon must remember you were Warden the not I I can readily conceive utter nseJeseness of having any associate commissioners along with In foot I gather correctly from letter to me you take credit for doing all work of as evidently did unless however drew on your Imagination In our epistle to me which I cannot think you guilty of When I Warden found as my associate Commissioners Messrs Woodcock and Chester and although I may not two egotistical enough to think I was capable of doing all the I soon ascertained that they were not like the Commissioners yon speak of They would not all the work to The seemed to have fancy that they ought to have a voice in what was going on and as I was p id a yeatly salary while they were a per diem allowance If meetings were multiplied for the sake of living the are persons yon must attack not I I fanoy hey are capable of taking care of them selves at least physically if not mentally I do not Intend to go into resume of the whole business of the coanty but would like to draw attention to two or three matters When we and hereafter when I say we I mean Commissioners met at the beginning of the year we find that the rooms deserted in by Judge were held by the county at an annual rental of although there was a clause in the lease giving the county the option of terminating same on giving months notice We cancelled this feaee and rented rooms for the county court stenographer at per month thus saving the county per annum The coonty woe paying taxeB to the extent of per annum on property exempt from taxation in Toronto York Township and East Toronto which we refused to pay and thus saving the county 98Cperannnm Our printing were let by tender and as an example of the difference be tween that way of doing easiness and the way yon farmed them out we got the Schedule- Conviction printed for less than while you paid and other work along this line We also found that there was no list Coanty Personal This we prepared and had printed in the minutes so that in case of damage by lire or otherwise the extent of the Joss might be ascertained In addition to many things we had the supervision of two new bridges one York Mills costing over over which we had a great deal of trouble with regard to the site etc We also had to repair twelve other bridges on the York Roads and on thus necessitating our travelling over the York Roads quite as much as though we had to personally In spect the whole road And when you were Warden the York Roads were in charge of a Superintendent at a salary of per annum whose duty it was to have general charge of the roads and all matters con nected with the management thereof and make an Inspection of the road at least twice a month and as he certified the counts correct before presentlog them to the I fail to see where had an enormous amount of wo connection with them frsyoutcytQjnako out While the Commissioners at the present time have the supervision the bridges on those roads Now sir in conclusion I desire to say a few words in reference to the payment to although it a matter that my brother Commissioners had more to So with than I had as I was in the chair at time But I do not desire to shirk any responsibility for the same I neither voted for nor against it Mies was a typewriter In the County Solicitors and had been for many years When ever the county required her services was to give them and on more than one occasion she had remained op nearly all getting work ready for Council This year severing her connection with the office and a request was made to the to make her a present on occasion of her marriage in consid eration of the many favors she had done for the county and the zeal she had always displayed In denying herself comforts in order to facilitate county business The Commissioners decided to to make her a present of 25 Had they to the or ratepayers they could as easily have

treated as being guilty of misappropriating connty funds I for one plead guilty that if we did wrong It was a mistake of the head and hot of In And now In allow me to say that if the electors whom I directly repre sent consider taken to which I was not entitled shall have to account to them directly next Jan uary It- the Councillors who voted the money wrong the In the several Divisions have the
