Kenny, Chairman of the Fire and Light Committee, reported that the committee had decided to grant the request of R. Campbell, Kent St. for a street light.

Some hali-dozen ot the members of the Council were ab- sent, This session, a determined effort is to be made to shorten the time, taken in dealing with the County's business. Warden Jackson sad he hoped that the sitting will be finished by the end of the week. The first step in cconomy of time was the adoption as printed of the minutes o fthe June and October meet- ings. The reading of communications fol- lowed. One, from the Inspector of Legal Offices, I. A. Humphreys, con- | tained, hi sreport on the conditions obtaining in the County Registry oi- fice, Whitby. = According to the let- ter, the office is badly over-crowded. New filing cases are needed for the | Oshawa section. Papers are now being kept in tin boxes. There are severl* old desks in the inner office which | should be replaced by new flat-topped | tables, and two or three tables should | be placed in the outer office for the convenience of persons searching the records. A letter from the Board of Educa- tion of Oshawa through their secre- tary, J. A. McGibbon, was read, con- cerning the proposal that pupils from the county going to Oshawa's schools should pay the full cost of their ac- commodation. This matter promises to bring up a lively discussion. A new aspect of the Government's plan of removing mild cases from in- sane asylums to houses of refuge wus brought up by a letter from the Clerk of Carleton County. The letter stat- ed that such persons were found by the officials at the House of Refuge at Perth to be entirely irresponsible, es- caping constantly. Such people can- not be kept in places without guards or enclosures. The letter suggested con- certed action by all the counties, to move the Government to retain the responsibility for such cases. Wm. Pellow, Acting Goaler, asked for an increase in salary from $900 to $1,200 per year, on account of the in- creasingly heavy duties. A letter from Sheriff J. H. Paxton was read suggesting that the superan- nuation allowance of J. H. Stiner, the retiring Goal Goverpor, be raised to $225, this amount to include the al-) lowance for his wife who has been acting as matron of the institution, and assuring the Council that the Government would be willing to pay its share of such increase. eer. + Two bills were read for the support ' : v. Sessions of indigents in tuberculosis hospitals, one at Muskoka and the other at To- ronto, totaling over $1,000. The condition of the plot in which deceased inmates of the House of Re- fuge are buried, came in for a good deal of discussion, The matter was brought up by Warden Jackson, who called the Council's attention to the fact that the section set aside for the House of Refuge was very rough and uneven, and the grass unkempt. "I suggest," said the Warden, "that this condition should not be allowed to exist. The grass should be kept cut and the ground levelled. The corner should be marked off by a railing. There is not much space left but there is an adjoining plot which can be and should be acquired, Reeve Croxall, of Whithy Twp., Reeve Morris, of Rama, and Reeve Ross, of Thorah, each spoke in accord with the Warden's view. Reeve Forsythe, of Pickering, suggested also that a simple marker should be put at the head of each grave. O nthe motion of Reeve Ross, of Thorah, and Reeve McRea, of Bea- verton, the matter is to be consider- ed by the House of Refuge Commus- s'oners who will report to the Coun- cil, At the close of the day's session, Reeve Stiver of Scott Township, sug- gested that the meetings should start at nine am. and close at five p.m. in order that those who desire might go to Toronto in the evening, to the Win- ter Fair. No action was taken on the proposal.
