We flud tnat the ditch from St-iilnn Eight to about Station Sixty should h» cleaned out, beginning at said Station sixty at a point where pine and birch slumps stand on the Kasi Mde of ihedlich ; .uence Houlnas far as may be found neoebsary, cleaning same out where the sUles have caved o. been trampled in. Wo discovered that cattle pasturing on lands al«>ng both sides of the d»tob have trampled in consider- able ground Irum th«» sides thereof, tbua ok>- Btructing the free flow of water, and we would recomaiend that wire fences be placed along both sides of the drain, and that the sum of fifteen cents per rod be allowed to tlie parties making sueh fences to pssibt lode fraying the expense of sjch fences, and also that all wooden fences along said d tch t,e removed, so that snow drlfis may not loJije Inthediainto Impede tbe run of water in the spring, the own^rs of land along the drain to remove all such timber fences aid replace them by wire leuces at their own ex- pense, save the allowance of fifteen cents per rod, as aforesaid. We believe that the drain Is ofoufllclent capacity for an ou let for all the land asset-s ed by tbe award, and we also believe that the same was well const* ucted and completed In good shape when passed by the Commis sioners. Wengret, however, to have to re- port that Youi Committee, appointed for the year 1895 did not examine the ditch upon completion at d rep. ro to this Council, wnen they had been notifltd by the Commis- sioners in charge that the work was com- pleted and had been accepted. Your Committee ascertain that a balance of $68 45 remal ds 1 n tUe Treasurer's hands to the credit of above drainage ssheme. The two Commifiploners claim a balance of four and 50-100 dollars each, and we would recommend, as the claim appears to be a juKt one, that they bo paid the amount claim ed, by the Treasurer. We would further recommend that Mr Joseph Valley, of Moose Creek, be appointed a Commissioner to carry out the repairs and improvements to said drain, above referred to. bat in no case shall he expend upon such more than the balance in the Tieasurei s hands belonging to said drainage schem. . alter paying the Commissioners and Com- mittee, as nerein mentioned. A sum of nine and 60100 dollars Is due to the members of this Committee for lost time, mileage, etc., ai.d wo recommend that the same be pV.d by Use TrsaHurer to Urn chairman. , „ ^ ,4. , All of which is roppectfully snbm tted (8d.)

E Deegan about repairs re- quired for roof of County Bulldlngs.Gaol and Gaoler's Residence. 2— Your Committee were addressed bv De tectlveHoIman, of the Grand Trunk Rail way Co., who urg'^d that some speoien of hard lab »r be devised for the employment of prisoners sentenced to such, and pointed out that the constantly Increaslug number of tramps and vagrants committed to gaol was due to the fact that they were not compelled to labor. Your Committee are quite in accord with his Ideas, and hav ng caroiully considered the matter, and its importance In all Its hearings, would recommend that the i^lerk be empowered to procure at once, by tender, ten cords of suitable stone for breaking, and also a sufficient quantity of light and heavy hammers for breaking same, and handles. 1 hat he be further empowered to purchase more stone trom time to time asrequlred, such stone to be piled within ihe norih ea&t gaol yard (where th^ Turnkey mw has his garden), at least teu feet from walls, and be ttroken by the prisoners. Ttiat every able- bodied prisoner committed to hard labor be compelled to break such stone, under the fupei vision of the Gaoler or Turnkey, or both, for ten hours per day In summer and eight hours per day In winter, as provided by gaol re ulatlons, and no prisoner to ne exHmpl, except upon the certificate of the Gaol Physician as to his Inability to work. We would strongly recommend that In case any pristmer refuses to work, or Injures or destroys, deliberately, the tools provided, that such be placed under discipline and on snort fo<«d allowrtm'e. That the Clerk be authorize'! to procure several balls and chains lor prisoners, to be used should they prove refraciory. We would recommend that D McDonald representative for Cornwall Township, and your Chairman, bG appointed a Committee to superintend the quality of stone procured, the piling of HHme, and the selUnx ther»of, when broken, upon best terms procurable. ,fl-Your Committee have also examined the various Insurance Policies now In force, and expiring In October ntxt, and they amount to $27 692 00. We would recommend that the Treasurer be emiMiwered to renew the policy now held by liie Piiueuix Insurance Co., of London for $5,000. with Mr Cllne, the agent, and that all tliree other p'^llcles be renewed, upon ex- piration, In the various companies carrying same, with Mr. D. Muuroe, agent. 4— Your Committee would also beg leave to report that they made a thorough examina- tion of the various offlcea, buildings, and of the gaol, Thirteen prisoners are confined in gaol at various terms, eleven of them being sentenced to bard labor. Of this num- ber ten are attle- bodied n^en, well ab'e to work, were It provided. We found the gaol clean and In gOLid order, and nocoraplalnts as to treatment were forthcoming from ihe prisoners. S— We would recnmmend that the following repairs be made to gaoler's residence, viz : thnt the West side thereof be painted by the prisoners so as to harmonize with the rest of the building. That tbe tin roof be nailed down where n>>oesHarv, and painted, and, as the roof has been damaged by the fall of snow and Ice off the gaol roof, we suggest that a snow guard be placed on West aide of gaol roof, similar to that on Cast side; the said work to be performed by Mr. Deegan at the figures offered by hlra. 6 -The Court House and gaol require re- pairs The miln entrance to gaol requires hinges, etc., and new window frames and sash an' necessary for the Court Room, the wails and celling of which are la ne d of kalsomlning. and tbe wood work painting. We would recommend that the Treasurer and your Chairman be appointed aSub-oom- mtttee to procure the assistance of a practi- cal mechanic to inspect and estimate the cost of such repairs and that such Committee be authorized to call for tenders lor such re pairs and have the same completed. A. gas Jet 18 required In corridor leading from gaol to gaoler's residence, and we recommend that one be provided, and also that a small trlat)guiar ventilator be oat In each of the wooden doors closed at nlgbt upon each of the prisonei's wards. We recommend that the Turnkey be auth- orized to build in West gaol yard a structure [out of material already on hand] to be used tor the Joint purpose of wood sbdd and store house for prisoners' clothing, the necessary hardware fuppllen to be furnished by your Council and the prisoners to do the work; provided, however, that the erection of such a building does not In any way contravene the gaol regulations, and that the Turnkey obtain the permission of the Inspector of Prisons. 7-We would recommend that shutters be placed on all windows of County buildings to c rrespond with ttjose now on. and tha'^ ten- ders be asked for same by your Chairman and Treasurer. 8— Your Committee would also recommend that the practice of removing the snow and Ice from the roof of County buildings and gaol by the use of axes and iron shovels, be discontinued, as In the past the slate roof baa been seriously damaged by suoU means of re- moval. 9 -We would also beg leave to call your at- tention to the fact that there Is confined at the present time in the gaol an old man who ha« committed no ciiiue and who is now suffering from a loathsome and inourablb disease. We would recommend that steps betaken Immediaielv for his removal, and that the practice of committing to gaol such persons as prisoners, be discontinued, U being contrary to all the tender feelings of hntnantl^' and eRntclallv rh we Hf^ve -^'^^ *-* our midst an insittutioni for the special care of such Indigent persons.

The representatives of the Villages are not Inclined to assnme the entire cost of these Indices, and althouuh their presence In the office would undoubtedly be of some con- venience and considerable financial advan- tage to the Registrar, yet your Committee, under all the circumstances, and upon weigh- ing carefully all considerations arising oat of the matter would recommend that no steps be takea at the present time at least, towards furnishing the liundas Registry Office with the Abstract Indices anked fur 3— As the question may possibly come be- fore this Council again, at the Insian^ie of the Inspector of Registry Offices, your Commit- tee would reommend that the Clerk forward him a copy of this Report at earliest oppor- tunity, as Indicative of the feellogs of this Council regarding the application. All of which Is respec fully submitted. (Sd.) Fkank Elliott, Chairman.

Counsell, County Clerk of Wentworth County, asking your Council's oo-operatlon in memorializing the Local Legislature to entwjt suob Ipglslatlon as will empower all County Councils lo appoint by by-law a County Inspector of municipal accounts, but Inasmuch as the Legislature has at Its last session appointed a Provincial Auditor of municipal accounts and as any municipality may avail themselves of his services In the Inspection of their books and accounts, we consider snch a petition un- necessary and recommend that no action be taken thereon. 4— We have also had referred fo ns a cir- pular letter from the Municipal World, St Thomas, asking contribuilous to that lournal by your Council for use of members and rffl. oials. We would thoroughly recommend the Journal to the use of the members as a very useful publication for information on muni- cipal matters, but cannot see our way cUar to recommend that the same be procured as asked, at the expense of this Counc J. 6— A letter from the Secretary of the Pris- oners' Aid Association of Canada was al^^o referred to us, asking for financial aid In support of said Association. As your Council fnade a grant in aid of same at January Ses- sion, wo ar« of opinion that the amount then granted Is ^ufflclent tor present year. We have also had a card from phI<1 s«>oretary requewtlng appolutraeut of delegates to alL- teud National Com ell of Charities and Cor- rection ot America, shortly to be held lu To- routo. but would not recommend the ap- pointment of such delegates. 6-We have had also referred to us several formal communications, acknowledKlng re- ceipt of petitions. rfHolutlons of condolence, thanks, etc., authorized at January tiession of your Council, being as follows : The Honorable Wilfrid Laurier.and Messrs.

Sir and Gentlemen.— Your Committee beg leave to report as follows :— 1— Amount of cash in banks standing to the credit of the Counties, $2,025 26 2— We find about $1 700 00 still due the Coun- ties on the rates of 1896. 3— The revenue and expenditure account up to this date shows that the same rate as tuat of last year will be required, viz , five- sixths of a mill on the dollar. 4— It Is thought advisable to postpone for another year tne sale of non-resident lands for taxes, and we would so recummend. 5-We also find that the old custom still continues of rendering accounts for work performed in some of the public offices for which proper vouchers are not attached to the account. We would therefore recom- mend that in future such accounts as are not properly certified as correct by the person obtaining the goods, and unaccompanied by the proper order or voucher, be refused pay- ment. There are under discount at the Bank of Montreal, here, two notes of $2,100,00 each, on current expenditure account. 6— We had also a petition from the Town- ship Council ot Lancaster in reference to an account standing t)etween the townships of Lancaster and Charlottenburgh, the subject matter of whl h was settled by the repre- sentatives of 8 lid towusblps upon the basis reoommendt^d in the minutes of this Council for I he ^ear !889 7— Your Committee had referred to them a petition from tne Sisters of ibe Hotel Dleu Hospital, of the Town of Cornwall, and also arequlsltltn from the General Hospital, of the Town of Cornwall, requesting aid froia 61 these OonntleHfor the support and malutm anoe of these iDNtltuMoDH ; and wp wnu'il ru- comiuend that the sura of $150 00 each be granted to these HompUals- 8— We also carefully exanolned and piisHCd accounts amounting to $81!) 31 an shewn by Hohedules "A," "B" and "C" attached hTPto. and recommend that the necessary by-law authorizing tha payment of the same be passed.

Sheets and 12 oth-r ratepayers, asking that Sheik's Island be separated from School Section No. 5 In the Township of Cornwall, and that ll be formed Into a new Section to be known as School Section No. 6 In the Township of Cornwall. The school children on the Island appear from the evidence taken to be plated at a great disadvantage in attending the Moulinette School, to which Section they belong, owing to the removal of the old bridge across the river at Moulluette, which was taken away when the dams were con- structed across the North Channel of the river, at the head find foot of Sheik's Island. Your Committee would lherefor« recom mend that the Council appoint R B. Carman, Junior County Judge; Alex. MoNaughlon, P. S. I.; George H.

After hearing the evidence of those in favor of the petition and from others opposing it, your Committee decided to recommend that Messrs. R B. Carman, County Judge; Alex. McNaughlon, P.B I., Cornwall; Oscar Ful- ton, Avonmore ; Donald Mcintosh, Strath- morn, nnd J R. MoRae. Moose Creek, be ap- pointed arbitrators un v,r section ao ot the Public School Act of 1896, to enquire into the merits of the case, and to authorize the form atlon of a new Bobool Section, if they should think proper, unless « settlement la arrived 52 at between the part leH Interested before the flrit day of October n» xt. 11— Your Committee Imve aUo hnd under coD8ider»tion a pelltlou from H. w Muiiro and 8 other ratf payers of Bchool Section No. 8, TowDHhlpof Winchester, uppeHllnKogalnst th*« award of the arbitrators appointed under Section 43 of the Public Bchool Ac of 189(i to consider the dissolution of Union School Sec tlon No 8, Towshln of Wl ichesier and the Corporation ol the VUlHgf of rhetttervlll •, by separating said School Section No 8 from the Village of Ohestervllle.

[Corporate Seal ] The following is a copy of a Petition re- commended tiy thH Report of the Communl- Gallons Committee, and having been duly signed by the Warden and Clerk and the Oirporate Seal attached, forwarded to the Honorable the Lieutenant-Governor In Council for presentation to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario at Its next set-slon, viz : To the Honorable the Legislative Assembly ol the Province of Outurio, in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Munlolnal Council of the Corporation of the Uni ed Counties of Btormont, Dundas and Glengarry, humbly sheweth : 1-That the duties to be performed by municipal officers before lands can be legally hold for taxes are so numerous that with the frequent change of ollicerb, new to their duties, mistakes almost invariably occur. The Courts eeem to hold that unless thesn various duties are performed, the tax deed will be set aside. The result is that these lauds, when sold, letch a very small price in proportion to their value; that ihey are pur- chased, in the majority of oases, by specula- tors, who, when they get tax deeds, sell such lands to farmers and poor men, and give ihem conveynnoes without guarantee of title Subsequently actions are brought against these larmers and poor men. because of the IrreguUritibs cummitled by municipal officers, and tax deeds are set aside. In al- m >8t every cuse these tax deeds, when at- tacked, are teb aside and the occupants ej^-cted 2— Among the acts to be performed and duties to be discharged by municipal offloerii the following may be mentioned : (a) By Section 3 of the Assessment Act, un« occupied land shall be denominated " lauds ot non-residents," unless the owner thereof has a legal domicile or place of business in the locat muuicipallty where the aame is situate, or gives notice in writing, setting forth his name, place of residence and post office addrejjs, to the Clerk of the muuici- pallty on or before the 20th day of April in each year, that he owncit the land, etc. (b) Now, two dieicaltles present them- selves. The notice is not to the Assessor, but to the Clerk. It may simply be a letter and get mislaid. The Clerk prepares both Rolls, Resident and Non-resident Rolls, (see Sees. 110 and 121), and the Assessor fills them up as he goes his rounds (Sec. 14 ) He finds lauds unoccupied, the owner ol which may be a re- sident of the municipality, but he does not know him. The owner, if resident outside tho municipality, may have notified the Clerk that he owns the land, but the Clerk may not notify the Assessor. The Clerk may notify the Assest^or, but verbally, and the Assessor may say that be never was notified 68 i I'l One can put Ihe blame on the by tbe Clerk, other. (c)Tben Ruppose the ou'Hl.le owner doeH give the Clerk notice, ander Heo 3 »"^„,^„^r Clerk notlfles the ARsenHor. and the ABseMor puts him on the HeHldont Roll; but next year ihe owner Klven no nolloe and there iS a new Clerk, or perhapw a now AHHessor. and heflndstheland unoccupied; next year he iH put on the Non resident Roll, etc. (d) Again, when the AHseHRor returns his RthI Clerk shall examine It and forth^ with lurnlsh the County Treasurer w th a llBtof uniwoupled lands. But after this list goes the owner of unoccupl*'^ land can apply totheCourtof HevlHh.n to have his i.fjrne put on the Resident Roll (see Hecs. 4 and 143 ) The Clerk having sent tho County Treasurer bis list, forgets or omits to correct It, and tne land goes to sale. (e) Now as to the Collector (see Sec. 126 ) In a case such as above, the Colleotpr. In t^e year that notice was glveo by the owner, should transmit to him hv post « no'^'ce land statement of his taxes. He m'}y/»'^8e^ "' "V® may do It. and have since -left the oounty. and the owner may say he never got such notice, and to sustain the title the purchaser mast prove It. (0 Then as to next year, no notice being given and the AsPossor finding the land un^ occupleu, assesses It as •• non- res dent and It goes on the Non resident Roll; and the Collector, finding the land "noco"P\ff,,'i!ir being unable to make the taxes. Is to deliver to the Treasurer of the municipality an ac- count of the taxes remaining due on the Roll, etc., and furnish the Clerk of the muni- cipality with a duplicate of such account, and the Clerk shall mall a notice to e^ch per- son appearing on the Roll, etc. (see Sec 135.) (g) Then again, the Treasurer ol every county shall furnish the Oleik of each municipality, except cities and towns. In the county with a list of all the lands In his municipality. In respect to which taxes have been In arrears, for three years next preced Ing the first day of January In any year isee Sec. 140 ) (h) Then such Municipal Clerk Is to keep such list on file In his office, subject to In- speotlon. etc , and deliver a copy of It to the Asieiisor when appointed, and the Assessor Is to see If any of such lands are occupied, etc , and he Is to notify the occupants and also the owners thereof. If known, whether res dent within the municipality or not, that the land Is liable to be sold for taxes, etc, and sucn lists shall be signed by the Assessor, and the Clerk shall file them In his office and at oace furnish the County Treasurer with a true copy, certified under the Seal of the Corpora- tion, and the Assessor shall attach to such list a certificate signed by him and verified by oath or affirmation, etc. (see Sees, 141 and (1) Then the Clerk of the local municipality shall examine the Assessment Roll when re- turned by the Assessor, to see If anyot sucn land IB occupied, etc., and If so, f«J«J8h a list of occupied lands to the Couny Treasurer and he shall add such arrears to the Roll (see Sec. 143), bnt such list noay be altered by the Court of Revision, and the Clerk may not notifv the County Treasurer. Then the uoh lector is to see il he can ooileol lUt/ arrears oi taxes and collect them. If he can, before the lands can be sold (see Sec. 144.) 8-8urely It is the duty of non-residents to pay tnelr taxes, as debtors are obliged to pay any other debt. Why should the creditor, the municipality, be pul to an /h« ^t/o-^.'^ an 1 expense heoanseof deb or « carelesHn^^^ And If In taking care of the debtor sinter eslH municipal ottloers commit » J"'"**^® "' mistakes, that the debtor can take advant- age of It. 4-The whole scope of these cumbrous pro- ceedlnusTsto prote^ot the absentee ow»er an J compel the occupant to pay the taxes h) as to save the owner. .-i-As between the owner and occnpant, the owner" hould be obliged to Uke such mea- Ss as would protect hlmBe If and not ask the municipality to protect him In so exien Blve a manner at Its expense and risk. fl— The owners of non-resident lands la or^Sl/ed municipalities ^now they are «.- HflHsed They know, too, when to enquire lor ?he amount^ of thilr taxes. They ought to take care that tiielr laiids are not sold for «es?"bV paying the l»^««-,,\V?bustne^s8 made their business to do so, not the business ^mnnloipalltlestotake expensive preoau- lions, difficult of performance, to protect their lands from sale. 7 -The Assessor, the Collector, the Tre»- BureFSf each iS munlc'nallty. the Council ami the County Treasurer, nave separate dSfles to pS(o?m to protect the unfortunate Absentee, owner or jnor'sa^^^ „'i??inS*''°'' his land sold to pay taxes on those lanas 8-Your Petitioners are of opinion that the AsMBHsment law should be anaended so as t obviate thedlflloulties placed »» ^he way of munlclnalltles by the several duties required t" be performed by raunlolp.il officers oefore lands can be sold lor taxes. 9 -Your Petitioners, thereioro, prav that your Honorable House will so amend the Assessment Act that lands, and particularly Jnoccu^.fed lands, may be readily and cheap- ly sold.
