Your committee have given full consideration to the petition of Mr H Hurchmer and others praying that the license fees of Hawkers and Pedlars be ncreased, and beg to recommend that the tees be increased as follows : For those travelling on foot, from «4.00 to «10.00; for those travelling with one horse, from $8.00 to $12.00 and for those travelling with two norses or other animals, from «lo.00 to $25.00. Your committee would ask leave to introduce a By-law to amend the By-law at present in force, for this purpose. The statement of the Deputy Registrar of the County of Victoria em- bodying return of fees and emoluments for the year 1890, and of the commis- sioii payable to the County thereon, has been submitted.

It exhibits a surplus of ?3o99.26, a satisfactory shewing considering that several large ex- penditures were made in the latter part of the year 1890, that could not be estimated when the rate was levied in June last. Your committee find that the Provisional County of Haliburton is in arrears on account of the share payable to this County, of the cost of Admin- is ration of Justice, to the e^itent of $800.00, and that a further sum of a4o0 00 will become due on 1st March next. Your committee recommend that t'hS Treasurer be instructed to p.ess immediate payment of the amount past due! and to urge the necessity of prompt payment in future. . It is most gratifying to your committee to be able to report the steady satisfactory increase in the Sinking Funds which will be available for the pay- ment of the Railway Debenture debt when it matures in 1886. A sub-corn- niittee was appointed to examine the securities. The sub committee report that they have carefully examined the securities held by the County on account of he Railway Sinking Funds. They find that the amount of a ^ew of the earlier mortgages exceeds the statutory amount which may properly be loan- ed namely two-thirds of the assessed value of the property offered aL security but they are satisfied that the actual security is ample in every case Thev recommend that in one such case in which the mortgage is past due, the solici- tor be instructed to have the loan so re-arranged as to bring it within the pro visions of the statute.

Your committee have e>amlned the statement submitted by the Treasurer relative to Auctioneers' Licenses. It is evident to your committee that the By-law is practically disregarded by a number of persons exercising their call- InK of Auctioneer.

Premier and Minister of Railways and Canals of the Dominion of Canada. ^f ^?>^! petition of the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the County bf Victoria, now m session aasembled, humbly sheweth. That your petitioners have learned that during the last session of the Par- liament ot Canada a charter was granted to construct, equip and operate a line of Railway known as tho Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Pontypool railway commencing at a point at or near Burketon on the Ontario and Quebec Divi- sion of the Canadian Pacific Railway, thence north easterly through and touch- ing parts of the Townships of Cartwright and Manvers in the County of Dur- ham, through the Township of Ops to the Town of Lindsay in the County of Victoria^ and thence north easterly through the Townships of Verulam and Harvey to the incorporated village of Bobcaygeon in the County of Victoria a distance between the «outhern and northern terminal points of about39 miles. Your petitioners respectfully point out that the projected line would run through a section of the country very poorly served by railway facilities be- tween the southern ttrminal point and the Town of Lindsay and that there is no railway connection now existing between the Town of Llndw-y and the Village of Bobcaygeon, a distance of about 20 miles. Your petitioners beg to state that there exists at the Village of Bobcay- geon an excellent water power owned and utilized for the manufacture of lumber by the firm of Messrs Mossom Boyd and Company, who have for many years carried on that important industry at a serious inconvenience and com- parative loss for want of railway facilities, having had to pay water carriage to Lindsay and railway freight from thence to the several points of delivery »n their taiany and important contracts. Your petitioners also beg respectfully to point out that there are in the Vicinity and at points north of the Village of Bobcaygeon vast beds of phos- phates and minerals which require only railway facilities for shipment to en- sure rapid and profitable development. Your petitioners beg to point out that the County of Victoria has aided Railways by way of bonuses amounting in »h« aggregate to $418,480, and a ref- erence to the statement heretofore forwarded will convince you that little if any aid could be expected from the municipalities through and near which the pro- jected line would run. Ihat the construction of the projected Railway would give great Impetus to the establishment of one of the best markets in the Midland District at the xowa of L-iudsay, for pork, coarse grain and lumbering supplies, and would MEMORIALS January, 1891. 40 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ encourage our own people to supply the market with these j-P-^-t lumber^ at the Village of BobcayReon.

To the Honmirable the Legislative Assmbly of the Province of Ontario in Porlia. ment Assembled. , ^ The petition of the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the County of Victoria, humbly sheweth. That the law respecting the building of bridges jointly by adjoining coun- ty municipalities is most unjust and unsatisfactory, and in the opinion of your petitioners it ought to be so amended ds to enforce joint responsiV 'ty of cor- porations so adjoining each other for the construction and maintenance of bridges over streams and rivers, forming or crossing the boundary lines of counties or any deviation used in lieu thereof, in proportion to the benefits en- joyed by the respective municipalities and the advantages and privileges con- ferred thereby on the inhabitants thereof respectively. That by recent decisions of the Courts It has been decidedlthat roads and bridges being wholly with one County where the boundaries are formed by lakes, rivers knd streams are not under the joint jurisdiction of the Counties adjoining on each side of such lakes, rivers or streams, and the result of such decisions Is that the cost of erection and maintenance presses unduly on the singleSmunicipalitles which under the law as interpreted by the Courts are compelled to maintain the bridges over waters crossing such roads. Your petitioners therefore pray that the Municipal Act be so amended as to remedy the Inequalities and uncertainties that now exist regarding the jur- isdiction over and maintenance of bridges erected or to be erected across rivers or streams between County Municipalities.

THE WARDENS MESSAGE, To the Miiniripal Co nnril of the County of Victoria : Genti.kmkn,— In on.-i.inp the proceedings of Hiis session of the Conncil, there are three matters only to which I deem Itlnece.ssary to call your attention specially. They ure as follows :— 1 I n the month of March, my attention was called to a bill then before the LeKislative Ass.mbly, relative to County Boundary hridges, the passage of which would prcbably set at rest the long standing difficulty existing between the County of Peterborough and this County, relative to the erection and maintenance of the Bobcaygeon and Kinmount bridges. Ihe Advisory Com mittee met on :Ust March, and it was decided that a deputation should wait upon the Government, and present a statement as to our position, and give such assistance to the promoters of ihe bill in question, as might be helpful in procuring its adoption by the House of Assembly. You have in your hands tiie statement submitted to the Attorney-General, relatum- to the Bobcaygoon bridges. The Inll was rejected by the Municipal Committee by a small major- ity. It became more and more manifest to the deputation, that our own case was so.strong thr.t it should bo dealtiwith by a special Act, and l{would suggest the necessity for taking steps at this session, looking towards the Hitrodueion <,f a bill at the next session of the Legislative Assembly for the relief of tins County from the .lisabilities under which it rests as to the Bobcaygeon bridges, l)y reason of the p.issage of what is known as the Harvey Act. 2- At t he same meeting of the Advisory Committee a communication from the Trent Valley Navigation Association was considered, and I was advised to attend a meeting of the Association in Peterborough, in company with the Reeves of IJobcaygeon and Lindsay, and I was authorized to take such further steps as I might consider necessary. I attended with my colleagues the meet- ing in Peterborom^h, and afterwards I proceeded to Ottawa with a large dele- gation trom other Municipalities which waited upon the Premier, who assured the delegation that the work would be proceeded with although not so rapidly as might bedesired by those specially interested in the construction ot the Trent Valley Canal. 3. The question of an application to the Dominion Parliament for a refund to the Municipalities which have granted bonuses to Railways, of a portion of the amount so cont ributed towards their construction, was also brought before the Advisory Cammittee. I was advised to sign the memorial to the Governor General in (Council, making the formal application, and the Reeve of Mariposa, the Reeve, of Lindsay and myself were appointed delegates to Proceed to Ottawa at such time as might be appointed, to support the memorial, llie pi June, 1891.

November, 1891 MESSAGE. THE WARDENS MESSAGE. To the Municipal Council of the County of Victoria : Gentlemen,— In the month of August I received an urgent notice from the Reeve of Laxton as to the precarious condition of the Head River Bridge on the boundary on the Victoria Road betwean the Townships of Garden and Laxton. I at once visited the locality and inspected the bridj^e. The Reeve of Laxton had been authorised at the Januar;;' session to make necessary repairs, and at the June session the County Engineer had reported as to the necessity for repairs. On uncovering the bridge to commence work the Reeve of Laxton found that the whole strength of the superstructure had gone owing to the decay of the timbers, and one of the abutmeiUs had already fallen down. It was so evident to me that a new structure was needed I took the responsibility of Instructing the Reeve of Laxton to take dov*n the old structure and erect a new one in its stead but with such n-.odificatlons as in my judgment seemed practicable. In- stead of a span of over forty feet I decided that one of about 25 feet would suf- fice. A new bridge has been erected accordingly and the approaches have been filled wiih stone thus securing a much more satisfactory and durable crossing and providing for much less expense for repairs and maintenance in the future. Under date of 1st August the County Engineer called my attention to the apparent alarming condition of the Forest House Bridge in the Village of Bob- caygeon. The matter seemed so important that I deemed it advisable to hold a meeting of the Advising Committee at Bobcaygeon on 12th August in order that the Committee mieht examine the bridge for themselves. It was certainly found to be in a dangerous condition but in view of the legislation that may probably be obtained at the ensuing meeting of the Legislature affecting the interests of the County in all the bridges in and near the Village of Bobcaygeon, the Committee decided to authorize the Reeve of Bobcafygeon to make repairs as indicated by the Committee, which would keep the structure standing dur- ing the coming winter and spring. On receiving a request from the Reeve of Dalton that I should visit his Municipality for the purpose of inspecting a bridge across Head River known as Johnston's Bridge I complied, and found the bridge a practical wreck. This bridge is not a boundary bridge and any claim the Municipality may have on the County arises under an amendment to the Municial Act enacted at the session of the Legislative Assembly in 1890. On consulting the County Solicitor I was advised that the initiative must be taken and the bridge erected by the local Municipality, and any share of the cost of its erection for which the County may be liable would remain to be adjuster afterwards in accordance with the provisions of the amending Act. a] t( S( V sc Ih ai ( Rl To Ge noc am Lir RE To t GF^ at w Dr., NOTEMPER, 189I.

Your committee took hold of the work entrusted to them with the strong determination to settle effectively the long vexed question of the location and quality of the accommodation which the County is required to provide for the conduct of legal business, and they have the gratification of knowing that in this instance they have succeeded in meeting the wishes of all who are imme- diately concerned. Your committee beg to point out that financially a saving will be effected. An expenditure of $1300.00 afc 5 per cent, is equal to an annual outlay o' $65.00 whilst the rent heretofore paid for the inadequate, and necessarily temporary, quarters down town was $125.00 per annum shewing a balance in favor of the County of $60.00. There is to be added to this saving of $60.00, as a consequence of the decision of the Council at the .Tune session, a further saving of $125.00 the amount paid per annum for rent &c. of apartments now occupied by the County Attorney and Clerk of the Peace and the Police Magistrate, making a total decrease of $185.00 in the annual outlay. The Police Magit off"ered him is sufficient for the conduct of the business appertaining to his c/ficial positions, and they do not understand that Mj . Devlin can claim accommodation in the Court House for carrying on the general business of a Barrister and Solicitor. Your committee would recommend that the County Attorney and Clerk of the Peace be not further approached on the subject, and that the remaining unoccupied rooms in the Court House be put to such service as the Council may deem expedient.

In carrying out the instructions of the Council a new brMge has practically L>een erected at a cost of $137.00. With regard to the resolution of Council respecting the dangerons con- dition of the Gnass River Bridge Victoria Road in Victoria Road Village, your committee recommend that the Reeves of Bexley and Garden be appointed Commissioners with authority to erect a new bridge, keeping In view the necessity for shortening the structure as much as possible by building ap proacbes. Your committee beg leave to introduce a By-law to give effect to this recommendation.

Your committee recommend that John Fell and John Bailey, Esquires, be appointed Commissioner)^ iiii authority to con- struct a new bridge on the old site or such new site as t.cy may consider most suitable, on plans and specifications to be prepared under their directions by the County Engineer. Your committee beg leave to introduce a By-law to give effect to this recommendation. With regard to the resolution of Council relating to the bridge across Pigeon River on the boundary between this County and the County of Durham your committee recommend that the County Clerk be instructed to notify the Clerk of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham that the bridge in question is now unsafe for public travel and request that jc int action be taken to have the necessary repairs done during the ensuing winter ; and that the Reeve of Ops be appointed Commissioner on behalf of the County of Victoria. A resolution of Council proposing that the usual commib^ion be paid to the Commissioners appointed under By-law No. 409 to expend certain appropria- tions for roads has been considered.

The Beeve of Bexley h^s submitted a report of the repairing and repainting the Gull River Bridge at Coboconk at a total cost of $118.31. He Informs the Council that the bridRe is now in a first-rate state of repair. A report has been submitted from the Reeves of Laxton and Bexley on the repairs toade to the Talbot River Bridge on the boundary between Bexlsy and Laxton. In carrying out the instructions of the Council a new bridge has practically been erected at a cost of $137.00. With regard to the resolution of Council respecting the dangerous con- dition of the Grass Rivei Bridge Victoria Road in Victoria Road Village, your committee recommend that the Reeves of Bexley and Garden be appomted Commissioners with authority to erect a new bridge, keeping in view the necessity for shortening the structure as much as possible by building ap proaches. Your committee beg leave to introduce a By-law to give effect to this recommendation. Your eommitteehaye had under consideration a report from the County Engineer with partial pidins and specifications of a new bridge to be built across Gull River at Norland. Your committee recommend that .lohn Fell and John Bailey, Esquires, be appointed Commissioners with authority to con- struct a new bridge on the old site or such new site as they may consider most suitable, on plans and specifications to be prepared under their directions by the County Engineer. Your committee beg leave to introduce a By-law to give efl"ect to this recommendation. With regard to the resolution of Council relating to the bridge across Pigeon River on the boundary between this County and the County of Durham your committee recommend that the County Clerk be instructed to notify the Clerk of the United Counties of Northumberland and Durham that the bridge in que--»ti6A is now unsafe for public travel and request that joint action be taken to have the necessary repairs done during the ensuing winter ; and that the Reeve of Ops be appointed Commissioner on behalf of the County of Victoria. A resolution of Council proposing that the usual commission be paid to the Commissioners appointed under By-law No. 409 to expend certain appropria- tions for roads has been considered. Your committee recommend that effect be given to the terms of the resolution and therefore beg leave to introduce a By-law to repeal Section 21 of By-law No. 409 and to provide that a commission of four per c«^nt. upon the amount expended be paid to the Commissioners so appointed.
