TILE Manitoba monopoly busioees is
likely to be a thing of the past, judging
from the following: --Premier Greenway
and Attorney.General Martin, Ottawa,
left for home last Friday. They have re-
ceived a letter from the Premier, in
which, after going into a lengthy state-
ment in support of the Government's no-
tion, be assures the de]egatee that in
future disallowance of railway charters
would cease, not only in Manitoba, but as
well in the Northwest Territories, The
statement is likewise made that if the
Red River Railway Bill was passed by
the Manitoba Legislature, there should
be no interference with i1, and the work
of construction could go on without being
interrupted by the Federal power. The
subject of the letter was telegraphed to
the Provincial Treasurer. Itis said there
is an understanding that the full text is
not to be published until the necessary
legislation has been enacted. It was for-
warded through Mr, Alloway. Both del-
egates before leaving expressed them-
selves as thoroughly satisfied with the
result of their mission. Of sou, se they
have not been informed of the basis of
agreement arrived at between the Gov.
ernment and the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way. How the arrangement with the
prairie province will affect the rate-
payers of other parts of the Dominion is
not yet apparent, but the general impres-
sion is that a settlement with the 0. P.
R. mean., the banding over of thousands,
if not millions, of dollars. The question
will no doubt be warmly discussed in the
Dominion Honse.
Seam persons are indnetrionn1j circu-
lating false statements in reference to the
maeagemeut of the fines collected under
the Scott Act in Huron. On f liu ing
is a true version of the effai••:—The ri•
nanoes are regulated by, the Boa'd of Li-
cense Commissioners, as under the rd.
cense system. l'or the purposes of
anforoement this county is clivi led into
three districts, East, West and South
Huron, in each of which there is a Board
of three Commissioners appointed by the
Government. At the beginning of each
license year, which commences on the
1st of+'a', the oarde frame an estimate
of the expense of enforcement for the
year, which are submitted to the govern-
ment for their approval, and upon suott
approval these estimates are placed be-
fore the Comity Council. The sum re
quired is pnid into a chartered bank to
the credit of the License Fund for each
distriot, and no sum can be paid out of it
exec t by cheque signed by the Chairman
of the Board of Commissioners, and
countersigned by the Inspector. Ad
amounts for which cheques are issued
are firet passed by the Board, and receive
the approval of the Ontario Government,
and must be audited as other Provincial
payments are. No one person can draw
a single Dent from these funds without
observing then regulations. The fines
are paid to the Police Magistrate, just
as other fines are paid to entwining ma-
gistrates all over the country. He remits
these Ansa to the County Treasurer, and
makes a return thereof, as other Magis-
trates do, to the olerk of the Peace and
also to the Government. The amount
paid into the county by the Lioense
{Commissioners and Police Magistrate
is over $6,000 and the aniountto the
credit of the ecunty, above the es.
eimates demanded by the Conrmiesionere
for expenses, was in January last $1470
and has been since muoh increased.
