The efficient clerk Mr. Wm. Purves, was ci.I ed to the chair. DOa. MC-Gregor saud he weuld stand Agalu ýfor reeve. He took the fluncial stateunent in band' and explaiued the items ai length, answerlng many questions to the satisfaction o the eleci tors. The expenditure on roads wus ifcreaaed during 1895 by the purchase of a gravel pi for 8275, and by attier ueeded outlays, partly aris. ngfrom the building of the Oshawa rallwayto the harbor ai port Oshawa. That oompany bad pald ail legal expenses, but stili there were sane improvernents which the council deenied It wlse to make whllst that road was being buli, and s0e the circuuzstanoes ad compelled theni ta make, He belleved the reuits showed that the township counicil had succeeded better lu their deatings wiîh the railway cooepauy in regrd to d&mage te roads thau had th1e tewn of Osawa. In answer 10 Mr. Breoldng, wbo aald Mr» T. Connt had enclosed rond alowances beleuglug to th1e corporation, Mr. M,-Gregor sald 1e was not aware of glus, and uext year's council would look into the matter. 'In regard to the'county councîl, he bftlleved its funcîîons were cf flot so, 'imPOrtance as former1y, and that it should soon be made the subject of legislative reforni, R. W, Grierson sald 11e wouid be acaudidate 'for deputy. He hiait favored a grant from the countY COUncil ta public libraries.and strongly urged that action 11e taken to, resuscitate the lib- rarY now defunet at- Columbus, Net mauy re- sidents of the towmship can afford the Iuxury of a Private library. and lie beflieved all would bene- fit from having à public institute. He tbinks that deputy-reeves mght be dispensed with frora ceunty cotincils, but doos not believe that five' county comnnssoners, would have suffaciçat knowleage of the whole coanty te undertake its management. Doiug away with municipal re presentatives from th1e miner couLeils would en- ttuil th1e expense otdepumations and lobbying.

His ex- planation of the part cf the township outlay cein- ing under bis contrai was satisfactory, and h1e. eut his remnarks short. W. B. Guy had only served one year, and had te supervise -rond expenditures in the north end of the township, which made le difficuit te* have everything done even te bis own satisfaction, but this was to sanie extent owing te the fact that men who took contracts aitoe low a figure, had failed te carry theni eut, and ltus had en- tailed delay.

He would flot go over the ground cover- ed so ably by th1e reeve, but wculd expiain one or two votes aI 111e counly council which the reeve bad forgotten. The deputy reeve et Oshawa bad moved fer a grant ef $SS ot be expeuded between Whitby and Oshawa on th1e gravel road.
