Xotteu would in the mean- time arrive, bat be did not, and at the obliged evening neesion the njennbcre iv ^re to , roc a I wi h he 1 e ion > fa warden wit lout bim. At a lew minutes alter seven Clerk Uuiherford took the chair aiu) announced hat ne waa prepared to receive nouiin- a'.ions tor the waidenHbip. Mr. Sing laid be would like to know whether tbx warden was lo be elected for one or for two years. The clerk replied that if he were asked for II i3 opinion he should say one year. The County Councils Act was silent on this |ii<inl, aud iliia being the caie he thonght I lie old act would govern. However, the iippouiie view had been taken by some, and me matter would probably he defiuitely leoiiled at the dpproaehiug session of the Legixlaiure. Mr. Andersousaid ho thouf;hl It would bo Well in m .king nominations to du S.I on the understanding that the election was to be tor one year only. On this un- derstanding nominatiot s were proceeded witli. The Cdndidaies were : Jttd. Allan, nominated by Mr. Anderson, K»con<!ed by Mr. Binnie. Matthew Bichardsro, nominated by Mr. Prtai.uD, seoon'led by Mr. MoCoIman. Qforge A. Brown, Loniluated by Mr. Qiiance, seconded by Mr. (Jordan. Null McColman, uominated by Mr. Rich- ardson. The clerk called on Mr. Geo. Idglis aud ex-Warden Cochrane, who were amongs*, the dozen spectators present, to act as Kcrutiueers and balloting was proceeded with. Three ballots were taken before there was an election. The figures ai^ : Allan 6 7 6 Kicliarilticu... 5 7 7 tirowu 4 1 McColiuan Tne newly-elected warden was escorted to the chair nnu introduced to the council by hiB nominator aud seconder. He said be was thankful lor the honor placed upon bim, both on i i liown arc u ii and of the divi- sion ho represented. Amongst those present toere were nn fewer tbau twelve with whom ho ha : formerly sat at this board, and be hoped to become well loqtiainted with tne otliera aud to enjoy hii term of office with all. Ue would not say ho was altogether surpriaeil at his eleotinn, sa there had been a mutual understanding tbut the warden- ship should go alternateiy to tho south aud to the uurth of tbaiCounty. Tiiis was the south 'a turn for the honor. Referring to the ambiguity in the new act re tho war. den's term, he said he considered bis elec- liou was for one year only. For onn who had sat at the old council, it was impossible lo look around now and find so many old frienua MUS'ing without a feeling of sorrow, but he was aatiufied that liis My bo'ly would conduct the business of the county to the antiifaotion of Orvy aud the credit of themselves. He would urge the need of icoooiny. Nu rxpenue should be entered into that could possibly be avoided. The pocpio were looking to the new council to carry on their business ou a cheaper basis, ana if tho members endeavotud to do so ihey could seek without fear a renewal of public uoulldeuce two years hence. In the course of his remarks Warden Allan also ri lerred to the iiuesiion of iijiprovemeuta in the heating system of the county buiid- iui;8 aud urged that steps in tliis direction be taken iinmedlatel), with a view to econo- luizing fuel. Ou motion of Messrs. Anderson aud I'reston the council proceeded to ballot for a special committee of five to strike the standing coiuiniilees. Messrs. Uinnie, Aud- erson, I'reBtun, Richardson and Vi'ataon were chosou. Council then adjourned till 10 p. m. on Wednesday.
