(Continuted from Page 4.) )•
curedin the Horton Block ort the
Square, Goderich. Mr. Reid stated
that the matter was subject to the ap-
The committee met April 18th and
laid 'before the 'Police Magistrate, the
matter of removing to the office se-
proval of the Legal Inspector of Of-
Bces and that he could neither accept
nor refuse until that authority had
been consulted, hence - the delay in
making any change, The matter has
since' been adjusted and Mr. Reid has
intimated his intention to remove to
the offices in the aforesaid block. This
office is composed of two small of-
fices in the front of the block and
one larger one to the rear. One of
the front offices will be used by Mr.
Reid and he other by the probation
r mfr. Elliott, under.
ander , who acts
4r, Reid in the juvenile court' work.
Mr. Elliott can also use this office in
connection with ,his Children's 'Shel-
ter- Worke
helter'"work,. The larger office to the
rear can be used by Mr. Reid as a
court room, an accommodation much
needed in his work. These offices
have been offered to us at a rental, of
$25 a month, which, considering the
income from, n fines
returnable to the
o
Bounty beginning with this year by
the Magistrate and that we have
to :provide office acegntmodation for
both these offrcers,,we hope this ar-
rangement will be approved by the
council. Owing to the urgent re-
quests made to the council to procure
other accommodation, we made the
best possible use of the recess in se-
curing these offices, and we trust that
the council approves our arrangement
that the transfer may made by the
first of July and the witness room in
the Court House returned to the
court authorities for the use intended.
The report was considered with Mr.
Douglas in the chair and was
accepted.

Property Committee's Report,
3. There must be direct railway
commenieation between the ' two
counties ansi. the county leaking the
application must provide" sufficient
lock-up accommodation 'for the safe
custody of prisoners, subject to the
report of the inspector ofprisons, this
lock-up may. be the common jail (sec.
14, ss 2 \and 3).-
4. The county applying must pay
'
all expenses of transportationpri-
soners
of
soners to and from said jail and the
lock up shall --be kept in proper condi-
tion (sec, 15 and 16). 1,
5. An agreement shall be entered
into between the two counties which
shall continue in force for five years
unless ended by mutual consent or
as heretofore provided, or the Lieu-
tentant Governor in council may ter-
minate the same on the application
of either party (sec. 17 ss. 1 and 2).
With the object of ascertaining the
possibility of carrying out such ase
arrangement your committee visited
the county council of. Perth in session
at Stratford in April and laid before
that body the desire of this council
as -expressed by resolution at the
January meeting.
The matter was referred to a com-
mittee of that council and your com-
mittee has been apprized of the con-
clusion come to with reference to the•
conditions under which the proposi-
tion could be entertained
After due consideratoin of that re-
ply, and taking everything into con-
sideration,
on-
gfd P ,
erati on bothfavorable and un-
favorable your committee arrived at
the conclusion that the arrangement
would be impracticable at present.
But we are convinced that the
Government shoultLtake up the mat-
ter of ,consolidation of jails as a
means: of reducing the maintenance
cost and increasing the efficiency of
these institutions.
We further of the opinion that
this council should take steps to im-
prove the heating system of the jail
looking to a great reduction of the
cost of fuel. That institution, includ-
ing the jail residence, is much too
large; an up-to-date lock- with a
much smaller residence,, one is re-
quired, could serve th purpose in-
tended much 'better and be more,eco-
nomical inupkeep.

This report was taken up with Mr.

committing parties from the munici-
pality who have -land br means and.
are not able to take care of them-
selves, and further that a copy of this
memorial be forwarded to the county
clerks df the different counties of
