of Iudustry and Refuge, the cerrespond:
ent says :
" This institution was established in
the year 1869. under the Ontario Muni-
ciPal Act, and is the only one in exist-
ence throughout the length and breadth
of this Province. Although,- when it
was started, predictions Wete heard on ,
every hand thatit would prove a failure,
it lies proved so successful that there is
reason to wonder why the example so
pluakily and sensibly set by the County,
of Waterloo has not been imitated. in
other localities ,The building itself is
of brick, 10 feet long, including wings,
by 55 feet in width, and is three stories
in height. It contains 70 rooms, the
whole of Whieh are well lighted and. ven-
tilated, and as comfortably warmed. as
those of a private dwelling. Cleanliness
and good order prevail oe every. hand,
-and reflect credit upon the management.
While no appearance of extravagance
can be seen, it is evident that the rea-
sonable comfort of the inmates is studied.
The dormitories are well kept, and there
;s no stint of bed clothing, while the in-.
mates are seasouably clad. At the pres-
ent time there are 60 males and 30 fe-
males provid.ed ewith a home in this
establislainent, and in passing amongst
them, and conversing freely, we did not
hear a single remark leading u.s to be-
lieve that the slighteet cause of dissatis-
faction exists. Of the 90 inmates 21 are
ehildren, Who have been deprived of the
guardianship of parents, and who seem
as happy as many resident in more fav-

building is a farm, consisting of 141
acres, with a loamy soil, said to be very

A large majority—I may say nine -tenths
--of the ratepayers were opposed to any
such aid being given, hence the • reconstimetion of the Howick Council upon a
new mid popular basis—said basis being
"N9 aid to villages," the new members
being presumed (I won't saypledged) to
give no such aid. _Such an expression of
the will of the people had never been
given in Ilowick upon any public ques-
tion before, and we naturally imagined.
that the old Council, now Certainly mori-
bund since not one had been re-elected,
would allow the business of the township
not absolutely necessary to remain sta-
tionary until their saccessors, now duly
elected, had taken the oath of office.
But no ! Our late Reeve took an order
dated January 8th, to Toronto, and nitr-
chased $1,500 worth of village debentures
-ttenthe 14th, exactly four days before his
succeesor should be sworn in, and
charged, the township $14 for his -expen-
ees, and all the authority he had for do-
ing this was a by-law passed in June,
1874, authorizing the Reeve to go to To -
route, and purchase debentures given the
Toronto, Grey & 'Bruce Railway Com-
pany. That this by-law did not empow-
er him to buy village debentures is evi-
dent from the fact that he only bought
township debentures. •Further, it was
moved by resolution at the September
meeting of the Council that $1,400 be
given Wroxeter and $600 to Gorrie, to
assist M paying tlseir railway indebted-
ness. -- At the November meeting this
resolution was altered. to give Wroxeter
$1,200 and Gorrie $800, but there never
was a by-law passed. to Ow:that resolu-
tion effect, and that the -Reeve deemed
gueli a bylaw necessary to legalize the
resolution may be inferred from the fact
that (if My information is correct) he so-
licited the litte Deputy Reeve three dif
ferent times to have a Council meeting
and have such by-law passed, to which,
however, Mr. Gibson., as I understand,
would not consent. Mr. Perkins has,

celebrated Lord Clive, who, when exam-

that as it may, I trust our Council will
see whether Mr. Perkins was justified in
the course he has taken in regard to these

are now the guardians of our interests,

taken out of the hands of the people's

the people's money by doing it for them,
