In pursuance of the mandate the Reeves of Huron County journeyed to Goderich last Wednesday and appeared before the L'c>luulission- er•s, Judges Jones and Creasor, giving evidence as to the most practical divis- ion. Huron has a population of be- tween 80,000 and 70,(100, and the law lays down that in accordance there- with there shall be not less than Ili members and not 111010 than 18. Warden Strachan and peeve Proud - foot both submitted well-repared schemes along with those of the Cont- missioners. After full discussion and final consideration, the following divi- sions, allowing eight constituencies and sixteen members were decided on :- 1O1'r•LA. Atls668E0 'r1ON, VALUE.

A gond feature of the law, as laid down in Sectjon 31, is that municipali- ties cannot lie split up unless compul- sory togive equal representation ac- -cording:e r assessment and valuation, although the authors glaring- ly do so in provincialolitics throughout Ontario in order gain political advantage and power. It does not seem reasonable that such a radicial change will prove satisfactory but time will reveal how it will work. For the benefit of our readers and pros- pective candidates THE News -RECORD quotes from the Act several clauses and sub -sections applying to Huron tvorthy of perusal. They read :-- 2. Notwithstanding anything in The Consolidated Municipal Act, 139; or any other Act, contained, and sub- ject to the provisions of tnis Act, county councils shall, from and after the expiration of the terms :of office of the county coun- cillors holding office at the time of the passing hereof, be composed as fol- lows '- • • • • (4) If the population is 60,000 or more, of not less than 113 members nor more than 18 mien hers. 3.

The election of county councillors shall he held in alternate years and at the time fixed by law for the annual municipal elections for members of the councils of the local municipalities, and the first election held under this Act shltl-1 bo so held at the next annual municipal elections which shall he held after this Act comes into force. No member of a council of a local municip- ality nor any clerk, treasurer, assessor or collector thereof shall be eligible for nomination or election as a county councillor. But, a member of any municipal council for the year 1896 shall not he ineligible for nomination or election by reason only of his being a member of such council for the year 1800, 7.-(1) The warden of every county shall on or before the 15th day of No- vember, I896, and, in every succeeding cear before an election for ouncillor is to heheld, the county council shall appoint for each county council division a nominating officer, who shall act as such until his succes- sor is appointed. Such person may he called the "nominating officer," and his duties shall be: (a) fn every year before an election of county councillors is to be held, or before a vacancy is to be filled to fix a place within the divieion for ng such nomination, between the hours rsoff one and two o'clock In the afternoon, and to give notice of such nomination under his hand, and of the election by advertisement in two weekly news- papers in 'the county, to he published for at least two successive weeks prior to such nomination day, or by giving sufficient public notice thereof by printed posters; (6) To attend at the day and place appointed for such nomination and subject to the provisions and for the purposes of this Act, to perform the duties as far as made applicable by this Act, which, by law, the clerk of a 1 local municipality is required to per- form as returning obiter at the nomin- ation for an election in a local muni- cipality. In case at the tirne appointed for holding the nomination, the nominating officer has died, or does not attend to hold such nomination, the electors present for the purpose of holding a nomination may choose from amongst themselves a nominating of- ficer who shall have all the powers and perforin all the duties of such nomin- ating officer. event2) n the the lfail- ing to Make such ap(onntwithin twenty-four hours atter the time spec- ified, the duty of rucking such appoint- ments shall devolve upon the clerk of the council.

But if agreater number of candidates are nominated than are re- quired to be elected in any county council division the nominating officer shall immediately after the lapse of the time in which candidates, under 7'he Consolidated Municipal Act, 1892, may withdraw from nomination, certify the facts, with the names and addresses of those remaining 111 nomination, to the county clerk.
