Upon resuming in the afternoon, a
few more accounts were read and re
feted to the finauce committee.
A report showing the amount raised
for county purposes by each rninor
municipality in the county was read
and ordered to be filed.
Moved by Dr. Rallies, seconded by
Mr. McInnis, that two inmates oi' the
House of Refuge mewed Stone be on
and after this day free inmates, and
that the clerk send an account to the
township of Stephen of amount due the
county for their board to this date.
Carried.
Moved by Mr. Holt, seconded by Mr.
Miller, that the council grant a sunt
equal to the grant paid by the Legis
!attire of Ontario for the continuation
classes for the public schools of the
county taking up spitted leaving and
eutrauce exaxninatfons. Referred to
the executive committee.
Friday, Dec. 0,
The Report of special committee was
read and adopted. The report recom-
mended that the request of the Clerkti
Association be granted and that a copy
of the clerks' petition be sent to each
vounty clerk in
the Province asking
for cooperation in the master; that no
action be taken its reference to the
petition from the county of Lauark, the
communication front the county of Duf
feria or that from the county of Wel-
land,
The report of the finance eomwittee
deahng with a, large number of ac-
counts, was then taken up, and a por-
tion of it was considered at,d adapted.
After the noon interniissiou, the re-
port of the executive comenttteo was
laid before the couucil and was passed.
The committee reeosmueuded that the
salary of Mrs. French, matron of the'.
House of Refuge, be increased by the
sum of $25 per annum, commencing
January 1st mixt; that the matter of
purchasing the work an municipal law
referred to in the communication of
Henry Armstrong- be deferred until the
January session in order that the work
may be examined; that Fountain
Naylor, who made a claim for damages
arising out of anaccident at Gauley's
bridge, be paid $25 in full of all claims;
that a grant equal to tbe Legislative
grout be given by the council to the
public schools in the county for con-
tinuation classes for the year 1898. In
reference to the claim of Thomas Hen
Berson for damages sustained by his
horse on the bridge known as Sproat's
bridge, the committee reported that
they had communicated with Render
son's solicitor, who had ageed to defer
entering the case for trial, the council
agreeing not to take any advantage as
to limit of time; and they recommended
that the matter be referred to the war
den and \Ir. Hays, councillor for dis
trict No, 5, to make iuquiries and to
make such settlement as they think ad-
visable. In reference to the report of
the committee to revise and consolidate
the bylaws of the eounty, the corn
mittee recommended that bylaws No. 9
of 1874 and No. 8 of 1890 be rescinded
and new bylaws passed to conform
with the resolutions heretofore passed
by the council dealing with these two
bylaws, and that one hundred copies of
such bylaws be printed, but not until
the end of 1899, so that all bylaws and
proceedings of the council of the year
1899 may included in such consoli-
dation.
The county property committee re-
ported as follows:
Your committee visited the goal and
found eyerything clean and in good
order, and the number of inmates cor-
responds with the goatee's report—
eight males, seven committed as vag
rants, one insane. We recommend
that the goaler's request for lumber to
curb a well be granted, as he is willing
to do the work for nothing, and that
the goaler's report be printed in the
minutes. We would also call the at
tention of the council to the fact that
something will have to be done in the
near future to the goaler's house, either
by repairing it or by building a new
one, as Mr. Griffin complains that the
house at present is very unpleasant and
disagreeable to live in. We visited the
registrar's office and found everything
in a satisfactory condition. We re-
commend that Mr. McCreath's request
for rubber matting for the court house
affairs be granted. Your committee
also inspected the court house and
found everything clean ane well kept.
The report was adopted.
' A motion by Messrs. Cox . and Snell
that the clerk be paid $100 for his
services as returning officer for the
county council election of 1899 was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
At the evening session a communi-
cation from S. P. Halls, on behalf of
the Teachers' Association of West
Huron, asking the council to grant the
Thursdays before the Fridays of the
general meetings of the Teachers'
Institute in order that the teachers at
a distance from the place of meeting
may have :an opportunity of attending,
was sent to the education committee.
Moved by, Mr. Torrance, seconded by
Mr. Hays, that clause 17 of bylaw No.
2 of 1897 be struck out and the follow
ing be substituted therefor: There
shall be printed in a ni a- compeer
form, in type•not larger than small pira
headed, 500 copies of the minu 0 to
each, session, and the clerk shall send
eight copies to the clerk of each muni
cipality and six copies to each member
that the clerk procure not more than,
150 copies: more eaeh session than at
present, and mail six copies of each
session to the clerk of each municipality
with instructions to distribute one to
{ the reeve and orae to each of the other
n .eunite8s of the council. Four hund-
red cornea were printed heretofore.
The corataittee's recommendation was
adopted The education committee re-
ported in favor of granting the request
contained in Mr. Halls' communication
on behalf of the West Huron Teachers'
institute. The report was adopted,
and the teachers wilt have Thursday,
as well as Friday, for their annual.
meeting.
The House of Refuge committee re-
ported that they, bad. held one encasing
since Julie, namely, on lite lath of No
vepiber, when they spat at the House
of Refuge. They .found the Hause its
all Ito .departmeatsseewinglg well kept,
and their lumates apparently well pro.
vided for. A few of the lnwates were
considered fit subjects for the asylum,
and the warden, tee phyeieian and the
insp, ctor were instructed to take steps
to have them removed. The`• found

condition. They
audited the accounts and found them
correct. Certain inmates had com-
plained to their Mewls that Mr, French:
bad ill-treated ahem, but the committee
were satisfied, after a throughout in-
vestigation, that there was no ground.
for the complaints and thwt all the iri-
mates were being properly treatedd by
the keeper and matron. The committee
instructed the inspector, Zlr. Coats, to
buy another cow.. They recouiamuded
that Mr. Goats be instructed to have
storm windows put on the north and
west sides of the building at once, The
report was adopted.
The road and bridge committee
brought in the following report:
(1) With regardto the Manchester
bridge we recommend that the con-
tractors be paid in full, as by report of
the engineer. It seems there wassome
delay in the work, but l,o real damage
has bee) sustained by anyone. (2•) Iu
regard to the Summerville bridge and
the other bridges mentioned in the
comneissioner's report, we recommend
that the commissioner snake arrange-
ments at once to have these bridges re-
built and ask for tenders, which can
be placed before the council .at the
January session next. (9) The minutes
of the committee meating held in Win;
ham July llth, to open tenders and
award contracts for the erection of Man-
Chester bridge, were placed before us.
They appear quite satisfactory, and
we find that by not accepting any of
the tenders for excavating on that day
but getting ,this work done by private
contract, a saving of $175 was made
to the county. (4) We recommend
that the report of the r .mmissioner be
printed in the miuntee as usual. (5)
We have prepared a bylaw to repeal
all former bylaws dealing with county
bridges, and ask you to pass the same.
Moved by Mr. Holt, seconded by Mr. Pat-
terson, that the report be amended by
striking out clause 1 and substituting
the following : That the engineer for-
ward to the clerk forth with the speci-
fications and all other papers in hie
hands in connection with the Man-
chester bridge and that Hunter Bros.
he paid the balance claimed by them,
less the sum of $200, and that the
question of payment of this latter sum
be deferred till the January meeting,
to be then dealt with by the council.
Lost.
On •motion of Messrs. Roltins and His-
lop clause 5 was struck out.
The report as amended was then
adopted.
The ,second report of the executive
