A Memorial from the Scott Act Asso- ciation was "read,and on 'notion, (without discussion), deferred to the June meeting of Council, for action. • A motion to raise $2000 for the purchase of a Poor House site, was referred to .the Warden's Committee, which, however, threw it out. A motion in grant $25 to each Elec- toral district in the county, fort the pur- pose of establishing Farmer's Institutes therein, was referred to the finance com- mittee, which acceded to the motion.'% $ll A petition from the ratepayers of Col- borne and Goderich township, -asking for repairs to lloinle ettle bridge,was referred to the Bond and Bridge Committee, which decided •hat it was the duty of Goderich In addition to passing accounts, the - township council to make the repair's committee reported that ion account of the asked for. large increase in the management of $15 was ;;ranted to pure:.ese flowers and schools, .especially with reference to ex - shrubs for the Court,House square. aminations, they 'recommended that a $15.89; Grey, $9.82; Howick, $14.42 'Tdtallett, -$2 Morris, $7.29; Stephen -$21.31; Turnberry, $24.16 ; Wawanosi West, $12.82; Bayfield, w8.155 ; Blyth $6.32; Brussels, $34.13 ; Exeter, $5.59; Wroxeter, $75.58; total $309.1UM. During the year the 'treasurer stated he bad in- vested $8800 in taortgages at tate rate of "6 per cent, per .annum, and have received on account of investment heretofore made, fallingdue, the sum of $7769 50, leaving, on the 31st of Dec. last, the large sum of $22.114.79, available fur investment. As there is considerable difficulty in effecting loans, the tretasLrer recommended the ad visability of lowering the rate of interest below 6 per cent. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Mr. Tom, School Inspector for West Huron, submitted his first report. Dur- ing the year 1886 he visited each school and department in the Inspectorate twice, He was pleased to report that in the ma- jority orf schools he found both teachers and pupils doing good work. The meth- ods adopted by most of the teachers are :good, add reflect much credit on the in- structions given in the Model Schools of the county. In those sections in which there is a constant change of teachers, the progress is not as satisfactory as in those where the teacher remains for a number of years. During the year an unusually large number of candidates wrote at the Entreuce Examinations, and a large percentage were successful. These examinations show that the schools of Huron are keeping in time with the edu- cational progress of ourljprovioce. e. ROAD COMMIBSIOtiER'S REPORT. Mr. Ainsley gave a detailed account of work don®by him or under his supervi= siou. It einbiaced a number of repairs to bridges and roads in different parts of the county, and also a report of other work that was necessary to be done in different parts of the county,• details or which are not of general interest.
