P., stated that he considered the district was not yet able to undertake county formation without Government assistance, and advoca- ted delay in cutting 03. the districts. - Mr. Isaac Cockburn advocated the same policy. _ Mr. W. C. Mahay, of Bracebridge, stated that the districtshould be furnished with ` county machinery and that the Government had laid apart a lot of ground in Brace- bridge for-county uildinas, and that the only reason anyone in the districts had against county formation was the expense of erectinc the necessary county buildings. He urged that the Government should use some of the money derived from Muskoka. pine in erecting county buildings and defray- inc the judicial expenses for a few years. Owing to the distance suitors had to` travel to the present county town of Barrie-some times from 100 to 150 miles--many persons. snlfered gross injustice because they could not incur the expense of going to the court and he believed that if the Government de-. cided to act upon the suggestion of the` deputation the village of Bracebridge would ` gladly place their uresent commodious court houseand town hall at their disposal for ty ui-poses. - . _. omr. rury, M.

He thenproceeied to state the reasons whv the counties named were anxious to be separated from the two districts. He claimed that those portions of the districts which were annexed to Vic`oria for municipal purposes were in receipt of more of the country : money every year than ihev were entitled to or contributed; that `hey had too large a voting power in the Bounty Council for their financial position in the count`y ; that it was high time those districts should be formed into separate `municipalities ; that in consideration of the l "R** revenues derived by the Government from the sales of pine timber in the districts, We province might well hear the expeuseof 9reotiug county buildings for them and assist- `"8 them until they could defray -their. own l>enses; and that at any rate Victoria and Sluiooe should be freed from the -burden of limiting in their support. . 1`.
