staternent of the collections of non-resi-
dent Ilands land the estimates for the

has 'oh hand $18,557 of sinking fund
monek for investment, but owing to the
abundanee of money at present seeking
invest:merit and the .efforts being put
forth by loan companies to Secure bor-
rowerfar themselves, he has been un-
able tb get this county money suitably

of th'e• Collections from non-resident

ment; and after routine proceedings it
year was
. Moved by Mr. Johnston, seconded by
Mr. Kelly, and carried, that the council
do withhold the memorial in reference
to the salt qiiestion proposed to be . sent
to the Government to the December ses-
sion, and that the salt manufacturers be
allowed to interview the council on the
quetion. .
SCHOOL REPORT.
The School Committee reported, re-
commending: (1) That in regard to the
petition from Howick and Minto in rela-
tion to the fOrmation of a . union _ school
section, an arbitration be appointed by
the council. (2) That no action be taken
on the comMunication from School Sec-
tion No 10, Ilsborne, as the council has
no jurisdiction fn the matter. (3) That
the report of Mr. Malloch, Inspector of
Public Schols, be adopted ; but the
committee regret that Mr. Malloch did
not pay the number of visits prescribed
by law, and we recommend that the In-
spector be paid only in proportion to the
work done. -The School Committee of
1885 recomrended that the Inspectors
be required to give data of each visit to
each school, which requirement has been
disregarded; we therefore recommend
that the cldk give notice to the Inspec-
tors and rile that in future reports be
made in adeordance with that recom-
mendation.
SCTT ACT EXPENSES.
Moved bk Dr. Rollins, and seconded
by Mr. Bissat, that whereas it appears
from section 109, chapter 181 of the Re-
vised Statutes of Ontario, by sub -section
2 of sectidn 6,. chapter 14, Ontario
Statutes for 1878, and by section 13 of
chapter 27 of the Statutes of Ontario,
1881, that the county council of any
county in which the Canada Temperance
Act of 1878is in force is directly liable
for two thirds of the estimated expendi-
ture of the commissioners for the county,
whether Buell expenditure is for con-
stables or magistrates' fees, or for costs
of unsuccessful prosecutions, or -for any
other costs incurred at the discretion of
the commissioners; whereas; under the
provisions of the Act referred to no
limit check or responsibility is provided;
whereas-, it is unwise to put such un-
limited control of public funds in the
hands of any body of men not respon-
sible for such expenditure; whereas, no
provision is made for properly auditing
-the accounte ad the Boards of Commis-
sioners, and, whereas any county in
which the Canada Temperance Act of
1878 is in force could be compelled to
pay large sums of money at the mere
option of such Boards of Qommissioners,
therefore, be it Resolved. that the War-
den and clerk be instructed to me-
morialise the Attorney General -of On-
tario, asking him to provide suclegis-
lation as will do away with liability by
the county, or, in case of non -liability,
to pass legislation to remove doubts, on -
else to provide such legislation as will
put in the hands of the county council
the appointment of such commissioners
and officers, so that they will be respon-
sible to the County council and can have
their accounts and . estiinates properly
audited and limited. Laid over until
the December meeting.
COUNTY AUDITORS.
The report of the county auditors was
read and referred to the Finance Com- •
mittee. This report showed the books
of the county treasurer to be carefully,
neatly and correctly kept, and also
stated the financial position of the coun-
- ty as followe : Liabilities, $289,797, and
assets, $83,613, and of these the sum of
$70,819 has been invested in first mort-
gage secoritiee on farm property, as pro-
vided for by statute.
BRIDGES, ETC.
The Road and Bridge Committee re
ported,. recOmmending that the tender of
Jos. Naegel, $2,810, for building abut-
ment to Port Albert bridge be accepted;
that the repairs mentioned as necessary
on Zetland bridge in Mr. Ainley's re-
port, be preceeded with at once. With
respect to the superstructure of Brussels
bridge'on account of the stone abut-
ments being already built, it is recom-
mended that an iron superstructure be
built, withfoot path. It is further re-
commended that the approaches f
Grieve's bHdge be put in a proper state
of repair; that the road commissioner
be instructed to have the approaches of
Kippen bridge put in a proper state of
repair; that the hole in the Maitland
bridge be repaired; the bridges known
as Beaver Meadow, Help's and Nine
Mile bridge be examined by the com-
missioner as soon as possible; that a
tight board fence be built on the west
side of Flynn's bridge, to prevent accu-
mulations :of snow; also that Morris-.
bank bridge be examined by the com-
missioner as soon as possible, and that
the county commissioners retina be re-
ceived and adopted.
, THE JAIL. --
The Jail, and Court House Committee
reported, ' recommending as follows:

missioner as necessary in and around the

- THE EQUALIZATION REPORT.
TheEqulization Com mitteereportecl as
follows: Your coinmittee have made a
careful ex mination of the rolls and find a
marked iniprovernent over past years in
the matter of assessment. The assessors
have adopted, in the majority of cases,
the principle of assessing up to - the
actual valike'- and your committee hope
that each and every assessor will adopt
this cours. Your committee have no-
ticed that several rolls are not returned
in their entirety, not having the neces-
sary affidavit attached. Your -com-
mittee would recommend that the rolls
•
be not hereafter accepted unless com-
plete in this particular. The committee
have examined the rolls and recomend
the adoption of the values set forth in
the following schedule.

public structure, is Mere suitable for old
and infirm ininates, oid that the cost of
