NOW BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
Below will be found an extended
summary of the Remedial Bill intro-
duced irr Parliament. The preamble
reads as follows :—
"Whereas, the Roman Catholic
minority of Her Majesty's subjects in
the Province of Manitoba appealed to
His Excellency the Govern or -General -
in Council, under the provisions of
section 22, Manitoba Act of 1870. from
certain acts of the Legislature of
Manitoba affecting the rights or
privileges of the said Roman Catholic
minority in relation to education, and
whereas such appeal having been duly
heard and decided by His Excellency
the Governor -General -in -Council, shah
Provincial law as seems to the Gover-
nor-Gereral-in-C:)uncil requisite for the
due execution of the provisions of the
said section 22 of the Manitoba Act has
not been made, and the circumstances
of the rase require that the Parliament
of Canada should snake a remedial law,
as het'einafter enacted, for the due ex-
ecution of the provisions of the afore-
said section 22; therefore Her Majesty,
by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate and Howse of Commons of
Canada, enacts as follows :
"(1) This act may he cited as the
Remedial Act (Manitoba).
"(2) The Lieutenant -Governor -Lieutenant -Governor -in -

ing nine, all of whom shall he Roman
Catholics, three to retire annually,
"(3) If the Lieutenant -Governor -in -
Council does not within three months
after the corning into force of this act
make a pointnaents to the Separate
School Board, of if the Isleutonaut-
Governor-in-Council doss not fill any
vacancy that may from any cause occur
in the Separate School Board within
three months after thc occurrence of
such vacancy, then in either such case
His Excellency the Governor-General
shall make any appolntrnent not made
by the Lieutenant -Governor -in -Coun-
cil.
"(4) The Department of Education
may, for the observance of the Separate
Schools, make regulations for the
registering and reporting of daily at-
tendance at all the Separate Schools in
the Province, subject to the approval
of the Lieutenant -Governor -in -Council.
(a) The Department of Education may
also make from time to time such
regulations as they may think flt for
the general organization of theSeparate
Schools.
"(5) It shall be the dnty of the Board
of Education (a) to have under its con-
trol and management the Separate
Schools, and to make from time to
time such regulations as may be deem-
ed fit for their general government and
thority to tee measures to enforce and
carry into effect all the provisions of
this Act, and the regulations issued
under its authority that. relate to the
schools within their respective juris-
diction."

provided fur by section 10 as follows: --
"For the purpose of this Act, the coun-
cil of each municipality may establish
and alter when necessary the school
districts within its hounds, and in rase

tion may he made by the reeves or
mayors of such municipalities and the
local inspector or inspectors of schools;
provided, that the formation or altera-
tion of school districts by municipal
councils or by the reeves and mayors
of municipalities and the local inspec-
tor or inspectors shall be made under
the regulations that may from time to
time be issued for that purpose by the
Board of Education, and all by-laws
and resolutions for forming or altering
school districts shall he submitted to
the Board, and receive its sanction be-
fore they can he carried into effect;
provided, also, that upon the refusal or
neglect of any council, or of the reeves
and mayors and local inspectors of the
municipalities concerned, to establish
or alter any school district when peti-
tioned to do so by at least, five heads
of families resident therein, or upon an
appeal against the action of such body
forming or altering any school district,
the Board shall he empowered to con-
firm or annul the action appealed
ngainst, or to form or alter such school
district as they may think fit, within
three months after their receipt of
such appeal or petition; provided,
further, that no school district shall he
organized under this Act unless there
shall he at least ten Ronmn Catholic
children of school age ]tying within the
same, enc, situated not over three miles
from a point that may in any wise he

In portions of the Province not or-

its authority, and the trustees of such
school districts are hereby empowered
to assess the same, and to levy arta
collect taxes therein for the support of
their schools, The assessment provi-
sions are as follows: --Section 23:—"It
shall be the duty of the council of each
municipality to levy and collect each
• year by assessment upon the whole of
the real and personal property of Ro-
man Catholics, other than that of
those who have given the notice prior
to assessrbent referred to in section 28
of this Act, within the municipality
(as the case may be) that is liable to
taxation under the municipal act, of a
sum equal to $20 in each month; that
the trustees of each school district
wholly included within the municipal-
ity may declare, as hereinafter provid-
ed, that they have kept and will keep
a teacher ander enga amen i Salary

anrr@at eehovl year, and for each
school district partially included with-
in the Municipality they shall levy and
collect in like manner a proportionate
part of $20 per month, as fixed by the
local inspector in the manner herein-
after provided for each of thew schools,
and the said council may, in their dis-
cretion, levy and collect in like manner
an additional sum, not exceeding 25
per cent. of the amount hereinbefore
required to be levied. The improper
inclusion to any such levy of any pet --
son or property not liable thereto shall
not vitiate the whole levy. From the
moneys so levied and so collected the
council shall, upon the first day of
December following, pay over to the
trustees of the school district wholly or
partially included in the municipality,
one-half the sura of $20 per month, or
the proper proportion thereof allotted
to each district, as hereinbefore pro-
vided, and upon the 31st day of Janu-
ary following shall pay over the whole
of the balance due to the said trustees;
provided, that no Board of Trustees
shall be entitled to receive a larger
total amount for the school year than

schools, and in case of doubt or dispute
as to the quniher of months the certifi-
cate of the superintendent shall decide;

in the discretion of the council or
councils concerned, with the consent of
the superintendent of Separate Schools,
and not otherwise, to a reduction not
exceeding one-half of the amount
otherwise payable for each month it
was kept in operation over seven
months. Percentage or attendance
may be obtained on the application of
any council from the superintendent
after the close of the last half of the
school/year.
Sub -section F reads :—"If any munici-
pal council shall at any time refuse or
ueglect to levy and collect the amount
required by this sectiou to he levied
and collected, then the Board of Educa-
tion shall itself make such levy and
collection, and for the purpose shall
obtain a copy of the last assessment

of Education shall strike and levy a
rate for raising the amount of tax to
be collected, and place the amount of
tax to be collected from each person or
property opposite hies name or the
description of his property, and place
the roll in a collector's hands for col-
lection, and such roll handed to him
shall he his warrant for the collection
of the taxes entered upon the same,
and in collectin g he shall possess and
be vested with the same power and
authority, and he subject to similar
obligations and penalties as a collector

the statutes of the Province, and the
Board of Education may, in its own
name, bring a suit in any court of com-
petent jurisdiction for the collection of
any such tax, and shall have power to
sell and convey the said land for the
said levy, and shall proceed (as nearly
as may be possible) in the manner pre-
scribed by the municipal and assess-
ment acts of the said Province regulat-
ing
egularing the levy and collection of taxes and
the sale of land therefor. The improp-
er inclusion in such levy, and sub-
sequent proceedings of any person or
property not, liable thereto, shall not
vitiate the whole levy or proceedings.

school tax Levied upon any land has
been due and unpaid for more than
one year after the 31st of December of
the year when the rate for the sane
was struck, such land shall be liable to

vided by the municipal and assessment
acts of the Province of Manitoba tor

be the duty of each municipal collector
or treasurer, or other officer, as the
cause may he, to include such lands in
all lists of hands submitted by hips to

school trustees levy the school taxes
by their own authority it shall be the
duty of their secretary -treasurer to

lands liable to sale for arrears of school
taxes from tirne to time, and it shall be
the duty of each council, upon receiv-
ing the proceeds of any sale of lands
for school taxes, forthwith to hand
the said proceeds over to the school
trustees entitled to the same, less costs
of such sale, interost and the excess
