Allan replied to those who] thought that expenses had been too "f;high by pointing out that had the, : statute labor account been left off the books, as in former years, the ;'recorded amount would be less some . $10,000. He did not think it fair to -`compare this year with the year 1900. With regard to the road work, '-$20,000 had been allotted to this libranch by the estimate of the Coun- lycil at the first of the yeatrand of` lthis well over $1000 remained. A , great deal of permanent work had , been done and Mr. Allan ventured to assert that after four or ve years 5 of such work the roads could be kept up by means of dragging alone. Ev- _ ery man had been given a chance to work out his statute labor at fty L cents an hour, except in one partic- , ular case where a man received `sixty F cents for working t__wo wagons with > one team. l ,. - .. Geo. Leslie brought up the ques- tion of the wire fence bonus and ` stated` that-although the by-law call- ed'f3r.a nine-wire fence properly er- ected, yet some were receiving bon- uses for seven-wire fences. These, he said, were a great inconvenience to those driving cattle along the roads. He wished to know why the Council did not stick'to the terms of the by-law. He also` objected to the _ rebate of taxes as compensationvto those who had lost property through re. This practice, he asserted, was liable to promote carelessness among property-owners and he favored an appeal to the ratepayers who could `best afford to alleviate the .m_isfor- tunes of their neighbors, With re- gard to the payment of full value of sheep worried by_ dogs, the speaker considered this a very unwise policy. This provided the owner. with no in- centive to hunt down the dogs or to find the owners of them. Geo. Arnold `agV*1:eed1_v;iVth- the prev- ious speaker on the matter of com- iaensation for sheep, but considered that there were often `some very de- serving cases -among those who had- property destroyed by re. ' C` on 99 - ' .R. MD. Henry wanted to know why public meetings were not called to discuss the purchase of the park. On matters like this, for example, also the soldiers . fnemorial, which were not routine affairs, he considered that there should be more discussior by the ratepayers. nit`-n`nnQ0,n C-nvudnn than van` n :n:-- 1-nun U IIIIC I lack!

Coleman in his rst speech`1 merely outlined the nancial state- g ment and the policy of the retiring 1 council. Five of the eight mills of; the rate, _he said, were uncontrol-15 able County expenditures xed large- {-1 ly by legislation. The township con- trolled only between two and three J `mills, which was a comparatively low` township rate. Some of the things,] provided for by legislation were the E` "Provincial Highway, the .Mothers ;( .A]lowance Fund, the school rate and! fthe trustee levy. . He explained the_` vsystem of commutation of statute ? labor. With the._ old system, noji money changed hands, but now each t man ` pays for statute labor along g with his taxes and then has a chance 1 to earn it back by means of road 19 Iwork. Twenty per cent. of the iamount paid out for statute labor is i put up by the Government, which is; one of the big advantages of the 1` cash transaction. _ {C `D A a.-u...._1_..._1 --._'___.,.,.n1.-M .-n - ......... au, .1. c wvvn The increase in taxes, the manner in which the Park by-law prelimin-i aries were carried on, and the com-; pensation due owners of sheep wor-1 ried by dogs were the issues which! received the lion's share of the lime-`. ilight. iOn1y one speaker expressed himself as-frankly opposed to the` purchase of the Park, but opinion; was\more equally divided concerning; the other questions. f I n 11' n_1_..., - 1- ~ """"` " I Reev,e--D: `Coleman, R.

VIIDILECA The Council tried to make it a :point, he said, to see that fences 5were all properly erected along the jCounty roads and that the payment `of some bonuses had not been grant- fed because of the inferiority .of the jfences. As to the question of their being too near the road, the County could move them back at any time. `He `considered that the rebate of tax- es to re sufferers was only a flea- ;bite when spread over the whole :body of ratepayers and that it was Imore appreciated than a voluntary._ `collection would be.
