ontario alliston herald simeoe county councillors in dulged in a lively debate last week en the best methods to effect economies and reduce the burden of taxes in this country many diverged views were expressed and hon wni finlayson while address ing council expressed himself as convinced that the country is being over governed not one of the county councillors proposed that the institution of which they themselves are members be uprooted and abolished from the governmental scheme of things that it is possible can readily be established and defenders of the county council might be hard put to it to adduce adequate reasons why it should be continued shorn of its powers of initiation it lias become but an administrator of certain requirements under the statute governing municipalities this body cannot make any changes in the public school system of the county it appoints the examiners to pre side at governmental entrance ex aminations there is an agitation just now in some quarters for the bolition of the entrance examina tion the county council is powerless to do it and no more has the county council any jurisdiction over the inspectors in the matter of secon dary education county councils have not a semblance of authority even county roads are under the jurisdiction of government engineers and as for provincial highways the county council has nothing to do but pay the bill in the matter of pensions the county council appoints a board for administration under the act but this board is guided largely by provisions contained in the act when the official minutes of the simeoe county session lust week appear one may read every word in the pamphlet without finding one constructive act accomplished by this council yet every member took away 25 for the five days the county was in session we have no criticism to make of tho rate of pay as it is the same as obtained before the war the wonder is that the councillors did not raise their pay when parliamentary intemnities were raised materially mention the question of abolish ing the county to the average man mixed up in municipal affairs and he become alarmed lest some great void would be created in our ad ministrative machine he is not aware that several of the other provinces have no county councils nor is he aware there is no county council in fmuskoka part of which is quite as improved as the best town ships in simeoe what would you do with the county staff he asks keep them they do all the clerical work now and could continue to do it with a qualified civil engineer who could carry out the road and bridges ad ministration quito as well as it- is done at present the clerk and treasurer could be made a board of administration of the affairs of a county all county roads and bridges would bo under pprovincial govern ment jurisdiction as they are in other provinces this board could make up the estimates and strike tho rate quite as well and better than the county council does at the present time everyone familiar with county council procedure knows now some municipalities get more than others and these same people know that if certain methods were abolished or made impossible some municipalities would not get the county assistance that is possible now the govern ment would appoint the clerk and treasurer just as it appoints the judges the crown attorney the clerk of the court the registrar and other officials the clerk and the engineer could view the county roads and decide what is needed far more equitably than at present and all public works could bo construct ed under contract at least as iciently and as quickly and as cheaply as is done under the pre sent system if any reader has any reasons why the council should continue to exist the herald would be glad
