OF THE UNITED COUNTIES OF 
 
 TO THE 
 
 €aiftHliWli«iii» 
 
 . . To the Houorablc the liCglilalirv- 
 A«a«mlMly of the Pravlncc of 
 
 The hun^e Petition of the Mnnidpal 
 Council of the United Counties of 
 Stormont, Dutdas^and Glengarry. 
 
 Sheweth, 
 
 That this Council regard the Munici- 
 jiai Corporation Act, I3th ViQtoria 
 Chapter 81, as intended to place in 
 the hands of the people, a more ex- 
 tended control over their local affairs, 
 and at the same time to afford more 
 facilities to economize the Public 
 means. 
 
 That so much of the 144lh Section 
 of the said Act, as requires the Corpo- 
 ration of each Village, Town, City, 
 Township, County, and Union of 
 Counties, to " publish a detailed state- 
 ment of the receipts and expenditures 
 and liabilities of such Corporation, in 
 two newspapers published within the 
 jurisdiction thereof or in those nearest 
 thereto," will in the opinion of this 
 Council produce enormous and un- 
 necesnry expenses. — And that it is 
 submitted that the publication of such 
 statements in any newspaper should, 
 in accordance with the liberal spirit of 
 the Act, be left at the option of the 
 Municipalities. 
 
 Thit Council t'lerefore humbly pmy 
 that your Honorable Undy will be 
 pleased to repeal so much of the said 
 ■action, as refers to the publication of 
 such statements; in order that it may 
 be discretionary ivith the Municipal- 
 ities to publish such stntemputs ur nut ; 
 as they may deom expedient, with a 
 view to the cfflcioiit mnniigoment of 
 their local nflliirs. And us duty bound 
 Ve will pray. 
 
 County Council Chamber, I 
 2.9lit January, Ib5i. ). 
 
 To the Honorable t!ie IteglilatHra 
 Auembly of the Provlaea of 
 Caaakda, 
 
 The humble Petition of the Municipal 
 Council of the United Countiei of 
 Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, 
 Shbweth, 
 
 That this Council consiiftr that the 
 provision made by the 30th section of 
 the Common School Act, 13th and 14th 
 Victoria, chap. 30; — whereby the an- 
 nual allowance to each Local Superin- 
 tender* is fixed at " one pound curren- 
 cy, ,j f cchool placed under his charge," 
 has the effect of excluding the Munici- 
 palities from exercising any discretion 
 upon a matter which might reasonably 
 be supposed to fall within the scope of 
 their legitimate powers and authority.. 
 And that so much of the 1st clause 
 of the 31st section of the same Act, as. 
 requires.the distribution of the Com- 
 mon School fund to bo " according to 
 the mtes of t .e average attendance of 
 pupils attending each Common School 
 (the mean attendance of pupils both 
 for S immer and Winter being taken) 
 as compared with the whole average 
 number of pupils attending the Com- 
 mon bchools for such Township," is in 
 the opinion of this Council, calculated 
 to operate unjustly — prejudicially and 
 against the interests of remote locali* 
 ties, where the Scholar? are frequently, 
 from various and unavoidable causes, 
 prevented from a regular attendance. 
 
 This Council thereford humblypray 
 that Your Honorable Uody, will be 
 pleased to cause the said clauses to be 
 repealed ; and to pass a Law authori* 
 zing the allowance to Superintendents 
 tOfbotfixcd by the Municipalities ; and 
 to subslituto in lieu of that portion, «f • 
 the l^clause of the said 31st section, 
 above referred to, a similar provision 
 to that contained in the 13th section of 
 the Aet 9th Victoria, Chiip. 20. Which 
 npporlions tlio School funds, according 
 to the ratio of children over five" and 
 undor sixteen years of ugo. And as in • 
 duty bound, we will over pray.
