STATUTE LaBOR.-A. resident of this township asks what provision the Ontarinalunicipal Lews make for the performance of statute labor at a par- ticul ir time of the year, some people affirming that it is compulsory to per- form the work during the streamer months. This is incorrect. The Catario Statutes simply provide for the polorm tnce of statuteltboroinder the direction' and control of, municipal councils, and doe: not stipulate -that the work shall begone at any malice lar time of the year. A menicip d council can, by by -last, provide fur . a commutation of statute labile, or can, in tbe same way, proeide that the work can be dune i the winter time if desirable. %here is nothing, therefore, to prevent any council,which wishes to do so, changing the tune at which the work shall be done.
