It would be impossi- ble for many of the most praotioel engi- neers to pees a technical examination, and therefore the Bill would inflict a great,, injustice. Mr. Fraser thonght it would not be 'unfair to;ow the bill to go to committee. Whilst me might not be propared to go as far as th bill,. they might consider it a wise thing to sanction an aeeooiation whioh could examine and give oertifioates to those who desired to have them. This would place the engineers in a position similar to the arohiteotfe and chartered accountants, • as was .proposed to be done in the case of dentist and embalmers. He trusted that the bill would be allowed to go to commit• tee. After farther deliberation the bill was referred to a oommittee composed' of Messrs. Dryden, Davie, Gilmour, Garrow; Rayeide, Clancy, Wood (Brant), Hudson, Mackenzie (West Lambton), Whitney, Mieoampbell and Tait. Mr. Fraser suggested that the eomruittee should have power to report any o: her bill in substitution. Mr. Wood (Brant) moved the second reediu bill :io_amend_the_.Act__to_..pro- vent t ' , read of noxious wee sad. ditr ease ,d oti s n fruit tree d , ��� e h r g The special objeot of the bill was to inoladesmut, or grain infected by smut; with noxioue weeds. Section 1 of the bill provided for the •amendment of the Act by adding the words " to out or pull or barn any emit growing separate from wheat or other grain as often as any 'shell appear , during . the growth of such grain in any seaeon.". Section 10 of the Act is amended by adding the words " Any person who knowingly sows any wheat or other grain infected by smut without first destroying the germs of disease shall. upon conviotion, be liable to a fine of not, lees than $5 nor more than $20." The bill, reoeived its second reading, and was passed to a eeleot committee consisting of. Meyers. Dryden, Awroy, Bishop, Charlton, McColl, Preston, Meacham, Kerns, Bash, Glendinning, Blezerd, Mackenzie (Lembton), Carpenter and Wood. Mr. Caldwell, in moving the second read. ing of the bill to prevent the extermination of the plant called ginseng, said the plant was very valuable for °Vart.. The objeot of the bill was to prevent the pulling of the plant before the berry is ripe. He read an extract from Kingsford's History of Canada whioh stated that in 1752 the ex. port of ginseng was valued at $100,000. Bach wee the profit from the gathering of this plant that 'farming, was negleoted for the pursuit of it. The palling of the plant when the berries were unripe had almost remelted in its extermination. If the berries were left to ripen,and the root not removed, the plant survived. The plant had a single stalk, from whioh branched three stalks. There is a cluster of berries in the oentreof parpliah Dolor and kidney•eheped. At the end of the stalk are three long and narrow leaves. Anyonewho had onoe seen the plant could easily dietingnish it. In the County of Peterborough. a large amount had been gathered during the paint Reason, and in the northern part of the Province there Was no doubt a large growth of gin- seng. The plant wee . worth fifty cents a pound green, and $4 to $6 dry. (Applause.). The Bill was read a seoond time and re. ?erred to the Committee on Noxiono Weeds. Mr. Waters, in moving the second read- ing of the Bill to amend the Ditches • and Water Courses Aot, explained that the chief feature is to increase the assessable area for drainage improvemente from 50 rods to 150 rods in rural districts. Mr. Meredith thought it would be better to hav a whole matter referred to a oc%m• miseof experte. Mr. Waters did not sec that his Bill` would do any great harm, but in deference to the 'House withdrew it. He did not think a commission would be able to remedy all the evils oomplained of. Mr. Hardy did not expeot that a Qom - Mission would remove all the difficulties whioh wore inherent to the situation. The Government had every kind of suggestion upon this matter from every kind of men. A oommiseion might '(smooth down the rougher points and harmonize the law and the practice. The Bill was withdraws. ' Mr. Fraser, in reply to Mr. Meredith, said the Government proposed to oppose Mr. Hieoott'e St. Catharines Railway Bill, not only on account of inffioient not'of having been given, but bemuse it del t with matters the* should not bo anal 'tied. Mr. Ross moved that the House resole' iteelt into committee to consider the fol- lowing'resolntion° : That the Lieutenant. Governor may direct the payment annually out of the consolidated revenue - of the sum of $5 per eohool to each county in (Teeter, and the County Connoil shall pay ; gpereriy,,,,r±,t the rete of not less than equal"amount list° -611=1, wiidlir & ai'Il'ti�n thereto reasonable travelling expenses, the automat to be determined by ;the County Conn -oil.

It , was oonsidered fair to receive county puupig 1 ,wand thereby surrendered its right to oonnty aid, the County Council would not be represented. He had also provided that there should be one representative • of the Pnblio Sobool Board on the High School Board. Some years ago the Separate Sohoole were given a representative, and it was now intended to restore the equilibrium. Another amendment was that no .member of the Municipal Council could be a member of the Publio Sobool Board. It was aleo in- tended to enact that representatives on the High School Board should be appointed at the end of the year instead of -the beginning. The reason for this was that it wee oom. plained that the appointments made atter election were eometimas done as a solace to defeated candidates.. It was proposed to allow the county to shift part of the post to the pupile by oolleoting a foe not exceeding $10 per annum. Lae* year $70,000 or $4 per head was collected in fees from High schools. Prior lo 1d,79 the Boards had only to issue their flat and the municipalities meet pay them the money demanded for .High Schools. In that year it was enacted that a two-thirds vote could override the request. It was now proposed to allow the Council;, by a majority vote, bo refuse the roque—where;` if-Wats__._in`r perinenent improvements and to extend the length of time allowed for debenture° from twenty -to thirty years. In the oltee of expenditure for maintenance the board muss provide the sum required, and they have the right to levy fees on nonresident pupils. To make the entrance' examination more uni- -form-and-teas-onnrbrona; it-wa-s-proposed 'that instead of examining boards for eaoh school there should be a looal board for eaoh county, she expense of whioh might.be met by a fee of $1 from each candidate. It was aleo enacted that the exnniinatione might be held at various pointe throughout the county. The holidays at Easter, whioh are now simply Good Friday and Easter Monday, are to be extended into a week,. and to compensate for that the High School term will commence on January .'3rd inetend of January 7th. It wee also pro. posed that the summervacation abonld commence on June 30th instead of the first Friday. in " July. These were the principal amendments. .He hoped the Hausa:would feel he had made no wanton ohangea, and believed that for the next five years no farther changes would be neon. eery. Snail suggestiona as^might be off trod he would be quite willing to consider. Mr. Wood (Uastinga), while believing that the changes proposed were mach more radical than the hon. gentleman had led them to believe, believed that there were changes that ought to be made that had not been proposed. He took exception to the manner of appointment of High Scheel tru tees by mnnioipel oonnoile. It might be said that the council represeated the people. There was a difficulty in inducing the oounoila to melee a change. It a change was proposed it implied' a want of con- fidence in the oounokl. He thought there ehoald be a uniform compulsory fee for the maintenance of the schools, whioh would do away with the poeeibility of one school at- traoting pupils away from another. In conclusion, he was pleased witb the changes proposed in the mode of entrance. Me. Meredith hoped the hon. gentleman would reconsider the portion of his bill re. Wing to the dissolution of the Board. The hon. gentleman had not told them of the reasons that had induced hint to make the change. It seemed to him that in the case of towns the Board should be appointedby the body of the ratepayers. It was -de- sirable, too, that the trustees should be more in toloh with publio opinion. Mr. Gibson (Hume) thought we had Qigh eohools enough. Thegoverning. boards ehonld be eepareted. There were tiinee'when their interest wouid clash.

He said that the order for whioh he had moved was one of the greatest interest to the community, and the question was one about which there wass a great dealntof stfeir There was no matter about which the Government deserved etronger or more severe condemnation than that of their manipulation of the lioense affairs in the Province. (Hear, hear.) Whenever in - !Question was given in the matter it was only given with the greatest reluctance. This was a matter in whioh the country should be taken into the confidence of the Government. In the matter of the amount expended for detective service, whioh was only one of many heads under whioh the expenditure was irregular, he believed some of the inspectors were in the habit of acting as deteativee and collecting detective fees whioh were appropriated by them- selves. The Government had treated the municipalities unfairly in the past in grasp- ing so mnoh of thee funds. It had been said that the municipalities were receiving more'than ever before. They were driven to extremities to keep something in the treasury, and this was one of the methods resorted to. Mr. Hudson was strongly of the opiuion that the control cf the system should revert to the mnnioipalities. Who were better qualified than the county councils to deal with this matter ? He agreed that there ehonld be a correct return of all the moneys received- on-this-account-by--tha-Govern ment. Mr. Harcourt said this question was an old, old story in *hie House. It had been debated so often that it was not worth while rehashing what had been previonely said. :The House was nowin possession of all the informationasked by the motion. -E-very-item-named-had been -each -year by the Government unasked" for put into the hands of. every "township council in the, Province. In view of that fact it was strange that anyone would charge the Government with withholding information. Inasmuch as it might be desirable to have the information tabulated for oonvenienoe, the Government had no ' objection to the motion if it was limited for five years. The Government had nothing to hide, and did not objeot to any information being supplied that might be desired. Mr. Mowat said that the difference between the Government and the Opposi- tion was that the former relied upon the expressed sentiment of the people and the latter on what they expected would occur. hereafter. The present system exieted because it had been crested by the people, and in every election they :sustained it. Tho people approved of the present system.. He did not dispute that there might be some objectionable featarte, but the admin. istration of the law had been free from errors and free from blame. The leader of *he Opposition had bean studying up this question, and had only been able to find one instanoe whore an inspector triedeto raise money for election purposes. He bed been compelled, however, to admit that . in that eaeo the commisaioners had compelled the delinquent to refund the money colleotel. That was strong evidence of the eatiefao• tory working of the Aot. But did not the Dominion Government compel the brewers to oubsoribe ? Mr. Hardy—Yes; and the distillers. Mr. Mowat—Yea ; and every other body that stands in that relation to the Govern. mon. They are always compelled -to con- tribute for election parpoltee very much more largely than our Reform innkeepera do. Mr. Meredith—Hear, hear. Mr. Mowat,—My honfriend seems aston- ished that.I Should speak of Reform inn• keepers. I know they are very few, but there are some Reform innkeepers, and like all good Reformers they like to oontribnte towards maintaining; good Government. Dealing with the etetement in the Port.
