Wednesday, July 15 th 27/A’ PREROGATIVE OF A TOJVJy CLERK. X 9 * ' ' *"’’ . Our town c|erk diaws his aword. to defend himself against our just critipisra of bis assumption of power which is not. inherent-in or delegated 4a ltULoffice. He also, Don Quixote like,, battles with charges which we never raised against him. In doing so be makes several misstatements, (which we shall charitably attribute to shortness of • memory) wJiich, though not affecting the position we have assumi d, it may be as well to set right. lie says that we made application to ihe Council of this year to have the prinljng divide ! between the two offices. vve did 110^do so, In Januaiy 1^84 we did, not since. ■ He says we have a printing committee of our own choosing almost, to look after our interests, AVe bad nothing- to do, either directly or indirectly, with ..‘.the bhoOsing of the members of the printing committee ; and we differ from him as to the duty of the print­ ing committee. It "is to look after the,interests of the public whose re­ presentatives they are, not ours eepe-/ .•ally. / He says lie ordered the insertion of/the Dourt of Revision advertinmont in7 tho X’ews-Recoud by his turning to the re- iorter’8 table, and telling both persons •resent to insert a notice thereof. He is decidedly mistaken^. The natter never enure up at/any Uoun- si) meeting, and at no time, formally >r informally, were Ave authorized 0 insert said advertisement,• He sa B all the/printing he ordered bis year (exceptiu/ tho adverti3om.ent • ferred to)'“was/^ome blankaiesolutions or the Council/mounting to $1.50, mid yobably the Ityw' lira will ?t«7/-up this uiount wit .the editor of the Nkws- iKCOnD.” 'That js pure quibbling, begging lie qu^tion at issue and unworthy a rftply. ■rJX.e point we are contending for his !. that the clerk has not the sole rerogative in the matter of edm- rolling the town printing, including oters’ lists. We insist..tjiat as he is MTr-el-y-the-appeintee-of-tlm-Gottnerl- 'tey have the' whole control of public xpenditure except in that of ;hool monies, • • ■ The clerk says: It is none of their >ur) business, or anybody vise’s" where 3 gets the voters’ 1 ist-s printed, even if j sent them to Hulif x. This is certainly startling doctrine. ’. in the business of somebody else ian him, J t is the business ’of -the itepayers who find funds-for paying >r such work ; it Wtlie’ business of LeJdouncil ta-whoxn. the.people have- idegated the right and the power » expend their money ; it is our’ isineSs as ajournalist,irrespective of irsonal interest, to call attention to ie arbitrary assumption and exercise' f;any "public officer of a right.prop- ■iy . belonging to the people’s repre- ntatives. And the claim of the wn clerk that he can expend town onies for the printi'ng df voters’ its, or in any other way, irrespec- ve of the will of the Council, is con- ■ ary to .the principles of responsible unicipal control, at variance with stoin and an iriva'HTotfb'f^Trie'prero-' live of the Council. We do not say at the Council would order the dis­ ited work to be done any where else ah where the clei.k desires it to be >nc,but we do hold that the Council .s the power to say where it shall done, and can direct where it shall done if they .clibose so to do. That the Council have no control er the clerk in the matter ,-of get- igTha...Y.Qters’.lists printed is a vi­ ms contention. Because if be ha& e control in the matter lie could well say how much he /will pay them as where he shall get them ie. The one is a corollary of the ier;l(i And by way of illustrating - e-untenability of the position- as- med by the clerk, we will suppose t the work in question is., worth 0, and suppose he would agree to y .$100 for'jt, would it be reason- Ie to hold that the Council would entirely helpless, ii'i’thfi matter ? e cannot for a moment concede t the Council *would bmmpotent, d that as Tlie clerk holds ; ’ They ve no power whatever in the mat- Inspector Paisley or any ler nppoint.ee of the Council uld never think oFTgiioririg the hi pf that body to say how, lie.. uld spend public money. It is e that the clerk,* inspector, or icr official has the right to offer gestions rh to the best means to employed in doing public work, the Council always take such {gestions into cousiderfttion ; but t a public officer is beyohd their itrol is totally inadtuisaable. Tlmy -e-the greatest of all control, he- 86 should any of their appointees oboy their commands, they have .most potent of all remedies, the e.r of removal and the substitu^ , would- deknows stand hluH does not deny the right of the Council to instruct him ex-* cept in so far «s regards the prints ing of the voters’ lists, and be resta hie case in the excepted matter upon the power conferred upon him by statute, It must be conceded that statutory law overrides con-, flicting municipal legislation, But the right of the Council to control the printing of the voters^ lists does not conflict with the statute, The exercise of such power, on the other hand, is merely the carrying ont of a statutory demand by the party most interested in complying with the law-—the Council, There is no statutory law which confers upon the'clerk the sote pBwer or right to get voters’ lists printed. It pre­ scribes his duties as to making out the voters’ lists front the assessment roll, their form, etc.; that he shall makes certain disposition of them when printed, and that if he “o/nite, neglects or refuses" to do so he is liable to. a penalty. It is quite evident that his power is not absolute. The., statute says 'if he “refuses,” Refuses whoth 1 Why the Council, He could not refuse if tho Council had no authority to order,' It seems to us quite clear that the clerk has taken an uuten»- able position. He neither'“omits’ "neglects nor refuses’’ to do his duty if, the matter when he'prepares the manuscript copy a,nd gets it,printed where the Council qr its committee directs. When h/has done this lie is absolved from any further respon*. sibility, and though the lists should not be printed and distributed at the timq tlie.lajW directs he is not amen­ able to the statutory penalty for such default, as he has neither “omit­ ted neglected, nOr refused” to do whaj the statute, requires he. should, do/" The. liability for such default amuld rest on the Council, We may /be told that the clerk ,is the servant of the Ontario government by virtue of statutory command.' Nothing of .the kind,If he is> in any manner the servant of the government lie is so only by virtue-of an office confer­ red upon him by the Council, and as . the •incumbent of that office, lie is/ the servant of the Council who ap­ point.and pay him. However, apart from aH this, the' clerk has informed us that there is a printing cpinmittee appointed by tlie Council. W.liat are tile duties of the printing committee ? /What'are the duties of any committee ? We will ' answer, to take' cognizance of all .work requiring to be done' in . their respective departments. Take tliP fire, and watof'committee. If chief Pay wants anything in .connection ■ with the fire department' he makeB it known to the coriimittee,. or to.the Council who refer it to the" commit- tee, and they report to, tlie Council -and obtain Sanction or refusal of their recommendations." The chief-does not ignore the com* mittee, and the Council does not ignore the committee . named-* by them -for the supervision of the ft re degartihent wheri .hose or any other material is required. ” As a matter of courtesy as well as out of regard for the undoubted rights of, the Council" and the printing coimnittee; matter of printing which he requires. Should the Council, by virtue of the •po.wp.r vested in them,order the print-, ing of voter’s lists where the clerk' fears they may not be done at the time required by law, he could reT qurist fhe comnrittee to obtain,bond6 for'the due delivery of the lists at a giyon time,*so that in any event' he would be secured should the printers default. By giving the “manuscript copy of the voters’ lists into the hands of the Council, tlie clerk ful< fils the statute ry requirements, and "hTvrng’”"dorm"B6i'h%" wou/not-be’ amenable to a penalty for '^omission, neglect, or refusal” ,pf his duties thereanent. -■-———■■ adft’a Destiny,’ points out the undesirability of annexation to the United States, and remarks; ‘The truth is the thing cannot be done, and it is not to be thought of by us if it oouliJ,’ The article 'concluded as foflowm ‘The idea that Canada has not prospered in the past in an equal degree, relatively, as the United States, has not been duly- eonsidered. Wq , bavgrrepeatacl tliq agreeable statement, that we haye prospered relatively in a greater de** gree than any other country until we believe it, without inquiry and without question. *It is an article of national faith which it would be unpatriotic to question and which woqkl be political heresy to doubt. As to population, what are the facts? The census of 1800 gives the United States a total of 5,308,483 whites and blacks Canada received an or­ ganized constitutional government in 1766. The estimated population was 300,000. The population of tlie United States was then more than seventeen times greater. It was not seventeen times greater in 1880. Assuming pppulaTion as the- basis of all material progress, • our trade lias not been seventeen times greater than that of Canada during the past twenty' years. Great as has been'our railway expansion, it has not been Beventeeiftimesas great as that of Canada. That oar ebusins in the Dominion suffer from bud institutions-or want -of energy js a fallacy which needs only to be examined to be refuted.’ A FAIR ENAJIFLR. ■ In the-cqurse of one of its-interm- •inable jereina.ids about the National Policy the.other day, the Toronto Glo.be made the following astonish­ ing statement:— “One of the many promises which Sir ■John Macdonald1 anil liis associates made to the people of Canada in 1877-J8, was that the policy which they called National would increase Jffie value of .property of all kinds,, The value of farm­ ing land has from th.at day to tliis.-con-. staidly declined. It is on the' average twenty-five per cent, lesh in Ontario to-day than it was ten years ago," ' • " It would bo bftd" enough for the Globe to publish the^e stories of ruin and decay if they were trui?;' but it is positively treasonable to do so Wzhen, as in this case, tho-stories are purely arid simply lies. The Globe cannot find, in the most stationary and unprogressive county in Ontario,, a township where the farms are worth twenty-.five per cent* less toklay than^.they were ten «years^.ago; and idfaBiiff 'etftbrprising aud progressive counties;' such as LaniLton, theorise in'the value of farming lands in the' last ten years has been so great as to astonish all wlio become- acquainted with the 2facts,—Tire—best—an swer—we—can- make to the Globe's libel.is to quote the assessed valuations of the farm­ ing townships of this' countyj for 187^-‘ton years’ago,” and for 1885, “today.” Here.t-hey are i-^t- 1875.’ .1885. .$548,207 $1,580,000 . 492,328' l,500;000 . 382,291 1,000,000 .' 613,598 1,575,000 . / 286,897 850,000 .'583,868 1,700,000 . 647,777 2,075,000 Bosanquet. .

Bo­ inIn the Blue Ribbon beer case which Mr. McBride of.Goderich was fined for selling that questionable lush, as mentioned’in tlie' NeWs Re­ cord, last 'week, Mr. Saunders, of ? London, public analyst, gave evi­ dence of three analyses showing the presence of alchohplic varying from. 3J to 2J pel* cent. ’’For the defence- Rrof. Heys, of the -Toronto School of Medicine, swore that his.analysis of the beer showed only 1.73 per cent of alchohol, and that of prof. Ellis, of "the Ontario Schoolof Fract- - iual Science, .1.80- per cent. Dr,, Mc­ Lean, of Goderibh, swore .that 2.02 of alchohol- was sufficient to produce intoxication, hnd Dr, George WTright of Toronto, that it would require a gallon of ‘Blue Ribbon Beer’ to ob­ tain an intoxicating dose. Other witnesses testified to having drunk, quantities of tlie b*eer varying from 17 to.48 glasses without exper­ iencing any alchoholic symptoms. The Magistrate, Mayor Horton, held that the. beer was-an intoxicating® one, although of: variable strength, and the defendant was therefore fined $50 and c.osts.
