McGillivray_vs. Stephen. It is quite extensively circulated through McGillivray, that the McGillivray eouncil did everything in their power to come to an arrangetnent with Stephen, so as to evoid a lawsuit, thus throwing all the blame on Stephen council. The fact is, they could do nothing in the matter, not even make any proposals for an amicable arrangement, until after they found out that Stephen was determined to be guided by the statutes in the matter. The Stephen couneil refused to act until McGillivray council were requested to meet Stephen commit and talk over the matter. A day was purposely appointed end the clerk ar.c1 reeve, of McGillivt ay, were written to. to attend on that date, but they treated their friendly intentions with indifference, by neither attending or giving a reason why. Yet they accuse Stephen of discourtesy. The petitioners pointed out the great benefits that would be derived from said drainage; and as there was no other way by • which , these lande could be drained, and as the peti- tioners were the parties to pay the cost of the work, the Stephen council could not see any valid reason for objecting to its adoption, and consequently appointed, an engineer, who examined the locality. and made his award favorable to the scheme. A long time after the award was made, a by-law was provisionally passed. 'Before this by-law was made every person had an opportunity of being heard if they had any valid reasons agairst it, but none were offered. The provisioual by-law was duly passed and published for 4 weeks giving every particular, also inviting MeGillivray or any other interested party to put in an appeal against the assesstnent, or to have the whole or any part of said by-law set aside, but no objection was raised by McGillivray. Then again after the 4 weeks publication, anti the by-lieev finally •passed and registered, three months longer tnne was given McGillivray or any other party to appeal, but theiediel not. The very' day of the first publica tion, McGillivray was served with a copy of award, plans, profile, schedule and a copy of the printed hy-law. If they had any fault with the whole, or any part of the proceedings, they had 10 days to make their complaint, either in person or by attorney, but no complaint was 'made. C. Prouty was authorized to visit their council and see what their in- tentions were, but nothing definite could be got, only their lawyer said they were not limbic. If they were dissatisfied with their assemement, then wart the thee to genic names, if they considered tho by-latv ultra virus 00 beyond 'the juriselictien of townships they should then have express - ea themselves an end then if Stephen was determined to go on, then, apply to have the bylaw quashed, but 110 steli objection Was macro. They elioeld have newt objections to the final passingof the be-htty, or passed a by-law t homed Yee to mioo the money required by the award, but- they did neither. Then alter the by-law was passed and registered, they still had an opportunity t6 be heerd, but did not apply. It Wes now quite apparent to Stephen coutioil the eoutse MOOIII6Vrly iiitencied to persue eves to allow Stephen to go on end Meer all the expense, and they would simply do nothing, and if we wanted any aid from tbem we mast resort to law to get it, _Although Stephen commenced (CeeAfe'llEetEDEYE4RLIAKI14IP,1805) Peid ne aePttel Rest Fu ct ' 1,000,e0 Need Office , Ilf ote bre al, 131.

StephexcOteeticil thought they had been fooled long enough, and, coneequently, on the 10th,March, 1889,, passed a resolution to insteuert their soleai:r_ tor to apply for a mandamus to compel McGillivray to pass their by-law. When McGillivray saw that Stephen meant business, they then passed a zesos- lution to have a. meeting of the interested townships to see if sonie different arrange: ment coule not be made, that would be agreeable to all parties, lint this proposal was not made until after they had tried to induce Bosanquet Council to join with them in opposing Stephen.
