JAILER'S REPORT.
BENTICIAIEN,—Permit me to lay before
you the report of the present state of
your Co. jail, also the prisoners at pres-
ent onfined there. Permit me again to
draw your attention to the condition of
the water closets. It will be absolutely
necessary that something be done to them
as goon as Spring seta in, one may be
totally unfit for use before that time.
Two of our drains became blocked up,
the one leading from the jail kitoben, the
other from the washing room. I had
them opened by prison labor and the cess-
pools in whieli they terminate emptied.
They contained nearly two wagon loads
of most offensive refuse, which I bad
wheeled outside the prison wells. There
are 18 prisoners at present in the jive, 14
males a,nd 4 females. Of the latter 9 are
under sentence for street walking and the
other 2 are committed as vagrante, viz. :
Elizabeth Shepherd, Colborne township,
4 menthe, and Mary Jane Donaldson,
McKillop, 6 months. Both were remom-
milted by Police Magistrate. They are
aged and unfit for work. Of the males, 1
le under arrest for indecent assault ; 1 is
insane; the remaining 12 are committed
for vagrancy for terms of from 3 to 6
enmities as follows Wm. King, Sea-
forth ; Burling, Blyth ; Thos. Ryan,

the four corridors* of the jail ; also that

Reeve of Goderich and the Co. Commie -
stoner. We also recommend that lumber
be furnished for 2 night Motels for 008 in

from Registrar Dickson for additional
aceionineedation for books, we recommend
that the top row of shelves now nnueed be

MP. Robb, Public Scheel Inspector for
East Huron, reported en followe : During
thq year1894 the total amount expended
for Public school purposee in Hub Huron,
was 057,204. Of this amount the SUM of
643,870 watt paid in Sa19408 to the 1e3
teaohere employed. From this it will be
men that 3357 is the %tweze seamy paid
per annum, The average salary of nude
teaellers in We rural schools ie 3395 ; of
the female teachers, $297. The highest
salary paid to any male teacher in the
rural distriete is $500, and to any fernele
teacher, 3405. The highest salary poll
to any public school teacher in that Ile.
triot ie $825. The qualitioations of the
teachers for 1894 were one Oren 61. seci,
ong, and 61 third elms, and one Old
County Board semnd. Ten schools
changed teachers at mid -Summer, and
twentyneven at the end of the year:
Many of these changes were caused by
the expiration of certilioatee. During the
year 79 students received training at the
two Model schools. Of these 76 obtained
orbit:metes. About half of thesesuomed-
ed in obtaining schools. The time has
come when no teacher holding lower
qualification than that of a emend class
certificate should be given charge of an
entire sohool unless the average attend•
ance is less than 26. As Misistants and
principals of the small schools these be
ginners meetly do very wall ; and it ie
in these uhoole that they ehoald gain the
necessary experience 10 take charge of an
entire or larger school. Unless some
change is made in the present regulations,
many experienced teachers will he driven
out of the profession, as there ie such e,
disparity between demand and supply
that teacher's salaries must ultimately be
reduced to a point not mush in advanoe
of that of the ordinary farm laborer.
Notwithstanding this gloomy outlook, the
teachers, ae a whole, are doing good
work, as in addition to those sent lip to
the entrance and public school leaving
exarninatione, the public: schools of this
division passed 25 candidates at the
primary examinations in July, 1894.
Four hundred and eighty-two candidates
wrote on the entrance and public school
leaving examinations, of which 405 ob-
tained entranoe standing, and 40 public
school leaving. Tbe papere aim read by
Ivo examiners, and; as there are only 17
days to examine them, the examiners
have frequently to reed papers until two
or three on:dealt in the morning in order
to complete their work in time. Nearly

motion examinations and find them nee•

Three liew sohool houses were built, and

In 1894 there were 95 sclioole, employ-
ing 129 teachers. Of those, 60 were
males and 69 females. The rural schools
employed 56 males, at an average salon},
of $391.15, and 51 females, nean averge
salary of $238.70. Fifty teachers had

teachers held first class professional
certificates, 48 second class, and 77 third
class. At the end of the year forty
schools or departments changed teachers.
Several experienced tearners reeigned
their positions, and their plaoes were

hen, we recommend that the bridge be
assumed by the County. Re the motion
of Maser% Rate and McEwen claiming
$100 for the Townshis of Ray and Step-
hen in connection with the Hey swamp
drainage scheme, we recommend that it
be left over till the June meeting and the
County Commissioner see the rated and
bridges said to be benefitted and report
at said meeting. Regarding the motion
of Messrs. erlenveen and Erratt asking
that the bridge known as the Bannook-
/Mira Bridge in the Township of Stanley
remain under the jurisdiction of the
County until re -built, we recommend no
action. Be motion of Messrs. Burns
and Monacan, asking for fences across
the old Bayfield Bridge, we would recom-
mend that the County Engineer have the
same done as ern as possible.

The following report of the County
Treasurer was read and adopted :—
I have the honor to present the fiaan-
Wel report for the year 1894, ootnprising
detailed statement of receipts, detailed
statement of expenditures, comparative
statenient of estimated and actual re-
ceipte and expenditures abatement of
ledger balancee at the end of the year,
statement of eolleetione, statement of
investments of sinking funds, statement
of debenbare liabilities and assets to
meet same. You will notice that there
was expended in general actuante 61,659,
64 more than WES estitnated, aleo the
sum 01 38,187.48 on account of the In-
duebria,1 Home, as yet unprovided for.
That the N. 0. R. debentures, with
interest, $21,200, werej paid on the let
of July, thus relieving tbe comity of
$21.200 yearly burden in interest and
sinking fund. 338,100 was invaded in
mortgages and 330,824 of investments
previouely made refunded during the
year, the total investment being $169,-
496, with $10,538.79 ranking fund unin-
vested. As the sterling debentures
mature Aagusb let, 1896, I think it
would be advisable for you to take into
consideration now and determine the
method of retiring them wbioh would
give the most advantage to the county.
The balance carried over from 1893 was
$7,183.86 ; receipts from all sources,
$154,852.51. Tbe total expenditute wen
3169,701.70, leaving a balanoe on hand
of $2,334.67.
