I /hie in the county rnioutes a motion by Meesrs. Steward and Girvin as foll- owS,."That as the assessments of the townships is nearly nine times greater than the assessments of towns and vil- legate in the county, and as towns and villages contribute the greater portion of the indigent, it would be an injust lee for the townships to contribute pro retie with the towns and villages for the erection and support of a poor house.' --Do the officials of the county council receive their pay in proportion of the amount of benefit each_ munici- pality receives? Does each munici- pality contribute towarci the general funds of the county in proportion to arriOunt of benefit received or does each municipality pay according to qualified assessment? If the above motion be a just one, why is not the same objection raised to the foregoing questions, or to the following, saes - There were in 1884-1071 criminal cas. esiit towns and villages against 362 in the county.
