FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1873. • The County Council -The Late Session. . The June meeting of the County Council is ordinarily one of routine, and consequently less interesting tc outsiders than, the December and January meetings. In June the great battle of equalieation has to be fought,. As this ie usually done in committee, the proceedings are rottd. The total sum, thereforetthis year, asked by 'the Engineer fot roads and bridges was $34,185. This stun is large, but it is not larger proportionately than has been expended year aftet• year on the neither very ordeily, interesting or 'agreeable to listen to.

If Mr. Doyle -occipied an inde- pendent position, his advice to the farmers of Huron might be worthy of consideration. But when 4we find hine in one breath solemnly ad- vising the farmer to •pay no heed to ihose who croak about a small local venture," and in the next piping into his ear the beauties and advantages of his own company, we are pretty safe in concluding that he is considerably more interested in the welfare of that comi)any than he is in the interests of the farmers of Huron whom he has undertaken to advise -and enlighten. ; the old.

This, of course, is sufficient reaeon why he should be so tender on the sub- ject. of purely local companies. For the past year or two he has done a flourishing business among the far- mers of the portion of this County which he represents. If a local company, Fetch as we advocated, were organized, it would, no doubt, very materially interfere with Mr. Doyle's •business,. and considerably curtail • his anniial receipts. Wle are not, therefbre, surprised at his making an effort to prevent his bread and butter passing from him. Were ere similarly situated, we would, perhaps, act in like man- ner. But; as it happens, we have no interest to serve in the matter. It is a queetion of ,very trifling mo- ment to us whether the fanners of Huron insure their pioperty in a foreign, or a focal company. After duly weighing the question of local mutual companies, and ascertaining the most favorable opinions of them from reliable farmers who had been connected with them in other parts of the country for yeats, we carne to the conclusiou that it • would be advantageous ttethe farmers of Hu- ron, or a portion of them, to try a siwilar organization. Having thus conctuded5, we deemed it our duty to broach the question to tne farm- ing community, as the connection between theni and us is such, that what will advance their interests will also indirectly affect ours. We have laid the matter before them, and ifj they think well of it, they will no doubt try the experiment ; if they do not so think, then there is no harm dene. We are Ignite satisfied to leave the matter in their hands, feeling confident they are competent to decide which course is best for their own interests, without advice either from Mr. Doyle or us. Although we have no intention of entering into a controversy with our correspondent, yet there is one, or perhaps two points we shall briefly refer to. We may say that by the term " foreign " cotnpanies, we did not mean a company of a foreign country. We did not use the word in its strictly literal sense. We meant that all companies, with their headquarters not in the County mark. We may say that af - the equalizedi values of alIV municipeili- ties are raised, the representatives in the County Council are not ,to blame for it. There is not a repre- sentative of a municipality who 'does itot attend the meetings of the Committee regularly, and, when his * case potties up, etch representative feels religiously bound to make his township appear as poor and mean and miserable as possible. In fat, we have often thought it a gr t r pity that so many deliberate 11 , should be invented to effect .so litt as are annually fabricated by re re- sentatives before the Equaltation Committee in ' this :County. The ,late session was no exception to thc frgeneral rule in this respect ' t Y Besides the equalization business two or trine questions came up for discussion which are worthy of re- ference. The first we shall refer to is that Of boundary line bridges. Thelfunicipal 'act had been so of-' ten amended and botched, that it was hoped when its amendment and consolidatioa was again taken in hand last winter by the Oneario Legislature, something ' permanent and satisfactory wouldbbe the result. We are not a little disappointed therefore, in. finding that even yet the amended act contains many absurdities which persmts at all con- versant with the working of muni- cipal institution, as most of our Legislators are, should have noticed. One of these absurd clausesAave our County Council considerable ti•ouble at its last sitting. The clause, 1,vhich we quoted at length in our report last ' week, provides that County Couucils shall ' erect and maintain all township boundary •bridges, but not County boundary bridges except . in a case where the stream forms the boundary. To carry out this provision, wetild be to inflict on certain townehips a ross injustice. Ati Interior township e w teld have all their boundary line- bridges taken off their hands, while townships hay- , ing the miscertune to be situated on the outskirts of a County would have to erect th,eir own, boundary bridges, anti contribute their share • towards building those of their more fortunate neighbors as well. Be - bides this, there is another very im- portant omission in this connection. There is no definition given in the act of what a bridge is. According to the act, two planks over a cul- vert might be called a bridge., The Council instructed the Warden'and Clerk to petition the Legislatute to amend this portion of the act, by makine it cornpulsory on .Countytet ta.! • be effected. Besides thie, it has hitherto been the ?ractice to com- mence at the end of a road and lay a coating of gravel along the .entire length, whee only short portionsiof the road required repairs. The re- sult of this has been that the roads are c,ontinually kept m bad condi- tion. , soon as they dry up in the spring, they are, each year, de- steoyed by having a fresh coating of gravel spread over them. The Lou- don and Bayfield roads are good examples of this. This spring these roads were as smooth and solid as , any road could possibly be; and it was a pleasure to drive over them. There were a few rut boles here and, there which required filling up. But, instead of merely repairing these, a coating of gravel has been put over the whole, and the result is, that at the very time of the year when the road should -and, if left alone,would-be good, it is almost unfit 'for traiel. It is -also proposed to lay a new coating of gravel along the entire length of road between Seaforth aud Wroxeterte Now, if this load has a fault at all, that fault is that there is ,too much gra- vel on If. the tracks were kept regularly raked in, and the rut holes filled up, ,there is not a better road in Canada, and to 'put an additional coat of gravettra it Would only spoil it for the test of the year. We are glad, theretore, that our County CouneUtave at length become alive to the fat that the present system •of repairing our roads is nothing short of an extrava,gant waste of, money, and that hereafter a plan more int accordance with reason, and with greater regard to economy, will be adopted. The question of the North Rid- ing Registry Office again forced itself upon the Council in rather an unpleasant shape. The Inspector of Registry Offices for Ontario has re- ported to the Goverement, that the present office is unfit and insecure for the purpose for which it is used. In accordance with the report of the iuspecter, the Government very mildly informs the Council of the - condition of the present office, and insists on the erection of a new one. This forces the Council to take def- inite action in the tnatter. They pass .a resolution requesting Mr. Gibson to bring in a bill at the next session of the Legislature reuniting the County tor registration purposes. This puts' the matter in •a proper position, and should have been done year.ago. 'Unless the Govern- ment use their influence with the Councils to maintain all boundary Legislature to prevent such a bill it will certainly carry In bridges of a certain span. There passing, will no doubt* be petitions from the House If the Government do other counties of a similar nature, up their influence to defeat the and it is every way likely that at bill, then they will be responsible - the next session of the Legislature for inflicting on the people of this the aet will be so amended.

DAN RR:es BIZ- Snow. -The largest crowds ever congregated under a canvas in this Province till to overflowing the pavilion of Dan Rice, wherever he has exhibited. We learn thatthousands of people are often unable to obtain admis- sion. The show itself possessesin a high degree the elements of attraction. The museum and menagerie are objects of in- terest and curiosity. - The latter es- pecially is peculiarly attractive in the many rare specimens of fine animals with which it is stocked. Dan Rice appears to have regained the pristine virn and vigor which so distinguished him in former years, and his lectiire upon brute training and. the performance of pet ani- mals arse worth the price of admissione In the arena the distinguished features are the parlor gymnastics of the famous Nelson family, an exciting trapese act by Mr. and. Mrs. Gurr, the athletic and agile exercises of the Denzer Brothers and Melte, Wilcox and Watson, and the 33 g • ttestanery dreams of "about 40 cents in elle be aii inadequate as the rates claim- man; 3.3 few short seasons at even the pres- bwwtheik,eu a 414:ulive proved- tYdrf:ntlit:retiun'teg's'icefedoa(t): dhlfaieSatwsetflt3r:te0r11:11:heto°beflyalun78t18f:haUaelrer:fetit8:1: e:Corimeo:esfollinat nu:: 1 'ifeee: isl Ile nhtw ilsehe suaa:Psti- I:ee a topeeext it enee St' rPrr,tr, transact ipfasie "irteehe:Hthlyfplitleoesiriairre:e.aluDlindoie.eyaliLtEeio: n. . 14, With With thanks, sir, for the insertion of Cofoultwhtie 413iCevrigflifivIneliot,Ilfh'Tijhrion.inpeaselLii.e8De7,03ol'pf .hiand,s.negf hate,dr4.1agli_ tof:8:2 26c; ter. . 3,1zywii4ileoffeegooaff 1,VIR:eI.vn,.1tocsli.bBneitoKnirlaiootengrg,orifanyacucl2an9Iglehnhte,.
