Councillor Bennett thought it - rather late in the day for certain economists to` start and trot now, which remark was evidently intended for Reeve McLean who has not agreed with. Councillor Bennett in certain reductions e'ected in the past. - The latter went on to say that "the County Council would return about $900 to the town. . `nus from the Town Hall. He did not think | in J nne. being the amount the town paid in the set on railway debentures in excess of ` its s are. This could be well spent on the - Market anal Fire Hall. As to giving a [ tender to an outsider, continued Councillor Bennett, I am not a free trader one. time L and a protectionist another, like `Councillor ; ` Ball.` He was a great ireetrader a few `A weeks ago, but now.he is -a protectionist; he seems to be anything at all `as `long as it - brings grists to the mill. Douglas Bros . tender was the lowest; some two or three local tenders were $200 or $300 higher than . that which the Committee recommends." L Reeve McLean retorted by saying that he , would like to learn a lesson on economy from Councillor Bennett ifthe latter was a true teacher. Not long ago Mr. Bennett had . accused him of being very extravagant , for voting $250 to the`-Band and $150 - to the Public Library, but here he proposes to makea big sweep in wasting money on . the market. He would rather see the $900- . to be received from. the County spent on ) streetsand sidewalks. (Hear, hear.) Coun- cillor Ball ashured the Council that Council- lor Bennett had yet to learn the meaning of the terms, Free Trade and Protection. and that he had better wait until he was better versed in municipal matters before under- taking to horsewhip any other councillor. .He then accused Councillor Bennett of doing the town a great injury in having so much to say about the high rate this year. He is a very poor economist, said Councillor Ball, and especially in advocating the re- port. He then went into the nancial con- dition of the town. Mayor Wells read a statement showing the town account in the Bank of Toronto-as follows : Public schooloverdraft . . . . . . . . . .8 3149 54 Town overdraft . . . .' . . . . . . . . . . .. 14086 02 15 Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..$17235 56 Councillor Frawley supported the report. The ublic buildings are rapidly decaying, and s ould be repaired as sooneas possible. These buildings a_re valued at $32,000, and should not be allowed to depreciate by get- ting badly out of repair. Deputy Reeve Caldwell thought the committee had consid- ered the matter very carefully; $300 for carpentering work` and $45 for painting seemed I) him a lot of money for the work. . He was assured. however, by Chairman Love that a lot of work was to be done for the money. The secretary read the speciea- ; tions of the v. ck, substantially as follows : KT;-n noun. 1.`.
