HURON COUNTY COUNCIL.
Concludedl From, Last Week..
The Council met on Wednesday, pur-
suant to adjournment from previous day.
The usual formal business was gone
through with.
COUNTY TREASURER'S lawn:it,
The following letter from the County
Treasurer was read and. referred to the
Finance Committee:
To the Warden and County Council.
GENTLEMEN ; Administration of Jus-
tiee shows an ineresse of expenditure
over the ,estimate of $1,014. A part of
this excess, $400, is for grants to lockups
at Brussels and Exeter, charged to this
account; for which no provision was
made in the estimates. The severe
financial depression existing during the
past year, and the resulting stagnation
in all branches of industry and labor has
had the effect _here as in all other parts
of the Dominion, of causing an increase
of crime and a consequent increase in the
expenses conneCted with the administra-
tion of justice. The expense for jury
purposes has been nearly $900 over that
of 1874, and has exceeded the estimates
by $700. The remarks in tuference to
administration of justice will be applica-
ble to some extent to this increase, but
the excess of expenditure is mainly ow-
ing to -the extra Allowance made to jurors,
who now receive $1 50 per day instead
of $1. as tormerly. In January, 1874, I
called the attention of the Couneillo the
necessity for a more economical jury laws,
and I am still of the opinion that import-
ant amendments are much needed in this
direction. Stationery and printing have
exceeded the estimate by $237, and sal-
aries and Council fees by $218 ; while on
the other hand the expenditure under
inquests has been $111, Jail. $233, contin-
gencies $139, and lunatics and charities
$133, less than estimated. The net debit
balance of discount and interest account
.has been $99, as against $450 estimated,.
a ranch smaller amount of advances from
the bank being required in 1875 thari in
1874. In the former years we had as
much as $34,000 under discount at lone
time, while in 1875 $20,000 was suffici nt
.-
This lattersum was the amount u der
discount at the close of the year, but 't is
now all paid. up. The expenditure for
roads and bridges has been kss than the
estimate by $1,174. Altogether the ex-
penditure of the year has . been $36 27
less han the amount.. estimated. rhe
bill which I introduced in the Prose eial
Assembly authorizing the Counci to
issue new debentures to redeem the gr vel
road. issue maturing in England in ly
next, has passed through all .the stag in
the House and. now only requires the
Royal assent to become law. Wit out
that assent the Council cannot act u on
it, and pass the by-law for the new is ue,
unless that assent can be procured be "ore
the Council adjourn, which is doubtful,
apeoial meeting of the Council will ve
to be called to pass the by-law. The
bill. gives the Council power to make the
debentures payable either in Englan or
Canada and the Council will hav to
consider which will be most in the in er-
est of the County. In August la t I
wrote to Bosanquet, Salt & Co., inform-
ing therct of the intention of the Con cil

to make a new issue of debentures to
deem those maturing on the first of J
and giving them some statistics as to
assessed value of property in the Cou
and our financial position, asking the
advise me of the prospects of making a
favorable sale of our new debentures and
the price likely to be realized. Frointhe
letter received from them under date of
Sept. 25th I think the prospects of a
favorable sale are as encouraging as could
be expected. I think there is no doubt
but that we will be able at least to ex-
change our new debentures for the old at
par if not at a premium. From enquiries
I have made lately at Toronto of stook
brokers there 1 am afraid we could not
count upon realizing more than 971 or
