THE MUNICIP f L LOAN LUND BILL.
On Friday last, Hon.Attor--ney Gener-
al Mowat, 'in an able, . explanatory
speech, introduced the Government
scheme for the Settlement of the Munici-
pal Loan Fund ! indebtedness. .The :fol-
lowing
fol -lowing resolutions show what that
scheme is : •
1. That it is expedient to provide for
for the re -arrangements of the Municipal
Loan Fund debts, so as to secure the due
,and regular payment of such oft. hem, or
of such portions thereof, as are to be
4.
paid:
2. Zhat it is expedient to distribute
among the municipalities of the Province
for local purposes, the future produce of
the said debts, and so much of • the other
funds of the Province as may, with the
produce of the said debts, be equal to
the allowances hereinafter mentioned.
3. That with.- respect tothose debts
to the Municipal Loan Fund, on which
an assessment of five cents in the dollar
on the assessed annual value of the prop-
erty of the indebted ..municipality in
1858, was not en tient to pay the inter-
est, the practice effect of the Statute 22
Vic., Cap. 15,ke titled An Act further
to amend the onsoliclated Municipal
Loaa Fund Act ,) has been to reduce
every such debt on the first day of De-
cember, 1859, to the sum on which the
said rate of fi e cents in the dollar
would pay interest at five per cent ;
that it is expedient to accept this re-
duction as the basis of a new settlement
with all municipalities which desire the
benefit of a settlement on that basis, and
to give to other municipalities some com-
pensation in respect thereof, by making
to .such other municipalities the allow --
epees hereinafter provided. -
4 That for many years it has been
the policy of this country to give public
aid . to useful railway enterprises ; that
the late Province of. Canada -largely •aide
ed certain railtday s in Upper Canada ;
that other railways in Upper Canada
were built without any aid from •the
Province of Canada, but with large aid
from some of the municipalities in Upper
Canada, by taking stock in the railway
companies whichwere to construct the
said railways, and by making loans to
the said companies,which stock was
taken; and which loans were made on
the mistaken representation to the said
municipalities, axd in the delusive expec ;
tation by them that - their advances
would be made good out of the profits of
the railways; that •the railways so re-
spectively aided by the said Province
and by the said municipalities have been
greatly instrumental in developing the
wealth and resources of this Province ;
and that, witli respect to the said rail-
ways so built without any Provincial
aid, it is expedient, in view of the said
facts, to credit to such of -the said mu-
nicipalities: as are not benefitted by the
Statute 22 Vic., Cap. 15, ;a sum equal
to $2,000 a mile of railway $o - aided, the
said sum to be divided among the muni-
cipalities respectively:,. in ropor-tion to
the amount of their said. contributions,
laid to be.allowed to, each as a payment
at the date of its debt therefor con-
tracted. • .
5. That after the Confederation of the
Provinces in 1867, and before the passing
of the Railway Aid Act of 1871, divers
municipalities, which will not be bene-
fitted by the said Statute 22 Vic., Cap.
15, have given sums of money by way of
gilt or bonus to divers erailways, or por-
tions of railways, which, if not commenc-
ed prior to 7th December, 1870, would
have been entitled to aid under the said
A ct ; that the sums so given were larger'
than might have. been necessary if the
said railways had received aid. from the
Province in the same way as the Act of
1871 provided with respect to railways
commenced after the said date ; that it
is expedient tomake to these municipal-
ities an allowance, as. of the lst of Janu-
ary, 1873; at. the rate of $1,000 per• mile
of the portions of railways'aided by the
said m:unicipalitieS respectively ; such
allowance to -be divided among the said
municipalities in proportion to the
amount of their said contributions to the
railway ; provided that this allowance
shall not entitle any municipality to an
allowance in respect of any railway
which may receive aid from the Legisla-
ture during the present Session, Or to any
railway which, if commenced after the
passing of the said Railway Aid Act,
would not be entitled to aid- under the
provisions of :that Act.
6. That it is expedient to give to mu-
nicipalities in default, and not benefitted
by 22 Vic., Cap. 15, credit as of list
January, .1873, as against their debts,
for the share which would from time to
time have been payable to them respec-
tively, of the Clergy Reserve Fund, if
they had not been in default to the said
Municipal Loan Fiend.
7. That it is. `expedient to allot to all
munivipalities ' not benefitted by, the
Statute 22 uric., Gap. 15, tie sum of $2
per head of the population, `according to f
the census of - 1871 ; which allotment t
shall be in addition to the railway..al- t
lowances aforesaid where these are ap-
plicable ; and that the allotment and U
ailway allowances -aforesaid shall be ap-
lied as follows :
1. That anount going to a county,
tv, or separated town indebted to the
iunicipal Loan Find, shall be applied
rst to pay the debt to the said Fund. -
?. Where. a balance remains of the
lotment to a county, the share accord -
g to population of any local mtinicipali-
therein, which is indebted to the said
unicipal Loan Fond, shall be applied
ward the payment of such debt. -
3. The remaining sum going to a
unt,x (or in case the county was not in -
refuge, or in building o. ir.ovi
schools, public halls, bridges, harbor
piers or graven roads, or shall be appli
in making other public improvements a
fectiing the Municipalities, or shall
applied ip or toward the reduction
payment of muiiicipal.oblig_ations alreat
contracted for permanent work ' ; an
proper prevision should be made for t
due application of the money to the o
jects specified. •
4. The amount going to any city
kcal meinicipality after the payment
debts shall be applied to any of the sa
he
objects which may_be determined by th
Council of the city "Or local niunicipalit
at any time -after the firet day ot Febr
5. Where is- portion of a county,,
union of counties, indebted to the IVI
nicipal Loan Fund, has been separa'te
from the indebted county or union, an
hes assumed .part of the debt of th
county or union, the allotment_ in r
spect of the railway allowance shill b
divided in like manner.
8. That a like sum of $2 per head b
alloted to those districts which have no
yet been organized into municipalities
and shall be applied to permanent ina
provement affectina the localities, au
approved by the Legislature. -
I). That, in view of the past historyjo
the Municipal Loan Fund, it is essenti
that the new debentures to b obtaine
from municipalities indebted t the sal
fund shall not exceed an amo nt whie
shall constitute such debentures goo
and reliable investments to all holders
that V the Municipal Act of 1866 it Was
enacted that no Municipal Council shall
assess or levy in any one. year more tha
an aggregate rate of two cents in th
dollarlexclusive of school rates) on th
value of the rateable propery in the muni
cipality ; that it is expedient, in. Makin
a final arrangement in the Municipa
Loan Fund debts; to act upon the policy
involved in this enactment, and to pro-
vide that incase a rate of two cents in
the dollar would be insufficient to pay
five per cents annually on the debt, or
reduced debt,\to the said Fund, after al-
lowing for the ordinary and necessary
expenses of the municipality (other. thaii
schools), the amount -of the debt tothe
Municipal Loan Fund shill be placed at
such e sum, that the interest thereon at
five per cent Shall not exceed what an
assessment nf two cents ih the dollar on
the assessed: value of proOerty in the mu-
nicipality would.be siAcient to pay, af-
ter meeting the ordinary and necessary
expenditure of the municipality other
than for schools as aforesain e that it is
xpedient that the annual amount to be
o paid should be fixed and not fluctuat-
; and that the amount of the assess-
ent, and of the ordinary and.necessary
xpenditure respectively of the year
1872, lie therefore accepted as the basis
of the said calculation'and settlement.
O. That where injurious legislation,
municipality indebted to the Municipal
Loan Fund, has taken place without the
knowledge or concurrence of the muni:
cipality, or against its active opposition,
and in the interest, or supposed interest,
of the public or of other parties, and has
-resulted either in no railway being built,
or in the building of a railway which
has not advanced the local interests of
the indebted municipality, it is expedi-
ent, in view cif such injurious liegislation,
to cancel the balance still due by .any
such municipality to the Municipal
Loan Fund after making the allowances
hereinbefore provide&for.
11. That the City of Hamilton took
stock in the Berlin and Preston railway,
and issued debentures therefor, amount-
inglto $200,000 ; that $80,000 of these
debentiires were purchased by the late
Province of Canada. and are now held by
this Province ; that no interest has been
collected thereon since the same were
purchased by the Province of Canada,
shortly after the issuing of the Said de-
bentures ;/ that in consequence of certaia
proceedings authorized by an Act of the
Parliament of the said Jate Province Of
Canada, 2/ Vic., cap. 56, the said rail-
way has been destoryed ; and that hav-
ing regard to these facts, and to the
financial position of- the said city, it is
expedient to cancel the said debentures
now held by the Province.
12. That where any muuicipality holds
revenue producing investments, made
with the money borrowed or obtained.
under the Municipal Loan Fund Acts, or
with the produce Of such money, Buell
investments shall, at the discretion of
the Lieutenantl Governor in Council, be
assigned, in such way a,s he may appoint,
as a security for the balance due by the
municipality to the said hind. Or,
where such investments are of greater
_amount and value than the balance still
so due, the Lieutenant -Governor in
Council may require the said invest-
ments to be assigned absolutely, in dis-
charge of the said balance. ,
13. That new debenture§ be obtained
rom the indebted municipalities respec-
ively, for the balances due by them ;
hat the d.ebentures Shall be in such form

overnor in Council shall direct ; *that
