The point of order is well taker}: - (Lagg!x§er.) ,, , Mr. Allen rosehto 9. point of order. He did 110% approve of religion being slandered by the chairman saying he had a Presbyter- ian face. (Lgpghtcm ' Mr. Doyle and Mr. Fowlds moved an‘ im- portant resolution which_ will have thS ef- feet of cutting down expenditure on com- mittee work. The resolution stated that whereas a large outlay in committee work was necessary in recent years owing to t he building of bridges, and whereas it was likely that little of such work would be ne- cessary in future, resolved that the treasurer shall pay for no committee work until the £657 list- are presented to and passed by the ‘napce committee, and approved of in com- mifi; e’of the whole. fSpme objection was taken to the members thus“ being put to personal expense and hav- Mr. Underwood presented report of the Cbunty Property Committee, which recom- mended: accept-ed of R. May's tender for wood at- 33.90 per cord ; the placing of an- other telephone in the sheriff’s office: and that necessary repairs to the council cham- her be made. The chairman said it “as not- the inten- tion of the committee to spend $500 or $600, but to make only necessary repairs. He thought his long Presbyterian face would 1383 guarantee against, extravagance. Seveia} members objected to making any extensive Iepairs, other than what. were ne cesszuy to seat the Poit Hope representa- tives. in"; to wit §everaf months before being re- cg led, but‘the motion carried almost un- anirzwtzfly; ‘ On motion of Mr. Ferguson the counties’ solicitor, Mr. Holla'fid, was retained in the matter of the Seymour arbiJration re bridg- es _o_ver 100 feet long. Mr. Carlaw' presented report of the Road and Bridge Committee, which Stated the total cost of the Narrows’ bridge to be $15,604, of which Seymour had paid $4,680, and the counties had a, claim against the Dominion Government for $11,834. Mr. Allen saiti‘ t1: e7 igs-séééingfii in Bow- Qamdlle was too high. A property assess- ed there at $60000 had sold for $3900. Mr. MEKee presepted report on the treas- urgr’s bon_d, which w_as. approved. Mr. Preston‘said at- the special meeting of the reeves for this very purpose last sum- mer every proposition to alter the system of payment of county rate was voted down. In Manve‘rs the people suffer a great in- justice, and if something was not :done at once they would set the legal machinery in motion to get their rights. Manvers was assessed for $900,000, yet was equalized at $1,180,00. The township was egimlked' 5'; more than the land would 33311 101'. Mr. Mil: hell said that Hamilton was not equally assessed, and was paying too much into the county funds. The county assess- mént was $42 per acre, which was c~12 mozzg than the assessment. should be r," Mr. McCallum pointed out the inequali- tic of the equalization of the various muni- cipalities, claiming that while many town- ships in Durham paid county rates on the full value of their assessment, the townships of N orthumberland paid rates on much less than their assessment. He quoted figures to bear out his statement, and said the villages of N orthumberland were specially favored as against those of Durham. There were three ways of remedying the evil ; ap- pealing to theCounty Judge ; an award of three arbitrators ; and a settlement by the whole council. He favored the last men- tioned mode. Mr. McCallum and Mr. Preston moved that steps be taken towards a. more equita- ble equalization of the rolls of the munici- palities of the counties. General anmcss.
