A motion was intro- duced by Mr Kerr, seconded by Mr. Kirkby, that the appeal be not proceed- ed with, bu t that the difference between the offer of the County Council, and the amount asked by Morris Council, be evenly divided as a settlement. This was lost on a vote, by a majority of 1. A communication was received from Perth council, asking the co-operation of this council in securing amendments to the Ditches and Water Ooursee Act, but no action was taken. Communications were received from Norfolk Council in reference to the pro- tection ot municipalities in cases of ac- cidents on the public highways, and also with reference to boundary line bridges, but council decided to take no action. The statutory grant of $25 was made to East Huron Teachers' Association. The Huron Law Association was grant- ed the use of a room in the CourtHouse for a library, but the application for a grant towards the purchase of library was not entertained.• Hensall and Manchester were created PoliceVillages for fire protection purposes. A number of accounts were ordered to be paid.— Concerning the account of Mr Neelin, Seaforth, of $86.87, the sum of $50 was ordered to be paid, balance to stand ever; two accounts were submitted by Dr. Stanbury, one of $2 for medical at- tendance on D. Ballentine, and one of $19, for attendance on John Banner- man, but the Finance Committee de- clined to recommend their payment; Reeve Burns introduced a resolution asking that they be paid, which was defeated. A communication was re- ceived from Sheriff Gibbons in refer- ence to the appointment of Mrs Logie as matron for the county jail, in place of Mrs Dickson, deceased, was ordered to be filed. A claim of Robt. Bell, for damages to a steam engine, was refer- red to the reeve of Tuckersmith. The Road and Bridge committee re- commended that tenders be asked for ceder bridges over Maitland river, be- tween the townships of Howick and Minto, and have the same built as soon as possible next spring, providing Wel- lington council is satisfied to pay half its cost. Also that tenders be asked for cedar bridge and abutments for Turner's bridge,over the Bayfield river, and a bridge over a creek on Sauble line, in Hay, and have same built early next spring. The Property Committee reported certain repairs made to jail and court house, and recommended that the order for jail clothing, approved of by the Sheriff, be granted, and that his report respecting the jail be accepted,the com- mittee not having an opportunity of inspecting the jail at the present time. The House of Refuge special com- mittee reported that during October a storm had injured the wind mill, but the same was repaired by party who had erected it, without cost to the coun- ty. The committee has furnished the building, as per instructions received last June. Arrangements have been made with the Bell Telephone Co., for connection with the House of Refuge, for a term of three years, at a Dost of, $60. The committee considered the advisability of laying down some rule as to what clothing the inmates should be in possession of when received by the keeper into the house, and, there- fore instructed the keeper to receive no inmate unless in possession of two suits of underclothes, one pair of good hoots or shoes, and that every inmate should have the privilege of bringing one trunk, one bureau, one chair, and nothing else, without the recommenda- tion of the Reeve of the municipality which sends the inmate, and all such goods will be subject to the approval of the Keeper or Inspector. Fowler & Fowler, arctitects of the House of Refuge having reported to the com- mittee that S. S. Cooper, contractor, had completed the House of Refuge according to the contract, and further reported as to the amount of extra work done by the contractor as well as the cost thereof, the committee recom- mended the following settlement with the contractor: The contract price as per tender being $9874; amouht of ex- tras, $795.27. Amount heretofore paid $8,700; balance still due contrac- ter, 81.969. The committee recom- mended that the above sum be paid to the contract or and the work taken ae completed. The cournettee also re- ported that it had Horde derangements with the Clinton Electric Light Co., to light the building for a term of 5 years, and a contract was drawn up by the county solicitor, and dull- executed by the county and ; he warden of this county. The committee recommended that the Inspector and Caretaker se- lat a burial ground on ;the Industrial Farm. The committee would further recommend that the Inspector be em- powered to furnish the following sup- plies: 1 light sleigh, 1 long flat lounge, 2 large tables for day rooms, and rub- ber hose necessary for fire protection, and further that the Inspector be granted power to hire such help as in his opinion is necessary. Moved by Mr Kay, seconded by Mr Mooney, that the Council would be pleased to have a statement from the Treasurer, of the total amount of mon- ey expended in connection with the House of Refuge.—Carried. The fol- lowing is the information asked for:— Cost of land $2600 00 Cost ot building . -9874 00 Architect's hill and plans 481 30 Extras allowed 795 27 Beds and rags 632 80 Tinware 26 37 Furniture 166 28 Crockery, dishes, etc67 06 Hardware, stoves, etc 251 70 Beddings 500 56 Mattresses 30 Off Well 8-90451) 85 Windmill Pumps 28 00 Barn 916 00 Pay list, special cainmit- tee, advertising, &c674 41 Estimates,incidentals&c 326 0)) Total $17610 70 This is the total cost up to date, without including tho provisions, and as the council originally counted on an expenditure of $16,000, it shows that the•work- had been kept pretty near the estimate.

CILROT & WISEM.E N', Clinton Friday evening, Reeve Ratz, of Ste- phen, intimated that he had decided to retire from municipal life, and in a few complimentary words thanked the councillors for their fraternal re- lations during the 16 years he had been a member. Reeve Cook, of Howick, also intimated his intention of retiring after a similiar term of ser- vic; he , had conscientiously opposed the Hbus)e of Refuge, but he would frankly admit that hewas now a con- vert, and would henceforth do all he could in its behalf. These two retiring addresses brought Mr Kirkby to his feet with the remark that "When the Rutz were leaving a ship, it was a sign of a storm, but when the Cook was leaving also, it was time for them all to 'leave.” Several other members jocularly stated that they were not sure whether they would retire or not; if they got enongh votes in January, they would come to the next meeting of the council, if they didn't get enough "they wouldn't come back." Moved by W. H. Kerr, seconded by Mr Watson, that this council express its regrets in parting with stalwart County Councilors in the persons of Reeves Ratz, of Stephen, and Cook, of Howick, in their decision to retire from municipal life, and desire to place on record our high esteem for these . gen-' tlemen, as we have proved them to be faithful servants to their respective municipalities, and the county at large. —Carried. Moved by Mr McEwen, seconded by Mr Geiger, that the appropriation to the County wards terminate on the 16th of Nov., 1895.—Carried Moved by V. Ratz, secended by T.

Carried. Moved by W. H. Kerr, seconded by B. S. Gook, that this council present Mr Eilber, with the sum of $2o, as a small return for the arduous and ener- getic'services rendered during the pre- sent year as chairman of the House of Refuge Committee.—Carried. Moved by H. Eilber and seconded by Mr Holt, that the Inspector of the House of Refuge be empowered to re- ceive inmates into the House who are in a position to pay for maintenance, or have friends or municipalities will- ing to pay for them, at such weekly payments as the Inspector may deem advisable, not Tess than $2 per week, such persons, nevertheless, shall only he accepted and kept in the Hou�se so long as there is ample room in the building; the Inspector to use proper safeguards in all cases of this nature. —Carried. Moved by Mr Watson, seconded by Mr McLean, that the hearty thanks of the members of this council be tender- ed to the Mayor, council and citizens of the Town of Clinton, for their ex- ceedingly kind and corteous treatment to this council during the present ses- sion, in providing them a convenient place for transacting their business, and entertaining them to a compli- mentary concert and banquet, the clerk to send a copy of their resolution to the Mayor.—Carried.
