Alderman Harman, seconded by Alderman Boulton, moves : "That the name of Alderman Harrison be added to the Commission appointed last year, to revise and publish the City By-laws, in the place of Mr. Edwards, no long, r a member of the Council :" — which was carried. PREFACE. To any one accustomed to consult the Statute Law of the Land, it is almost needless to allude to the difficulty experienced in arriving at a decision as to the real state of the law on any point which has been the subject oiTreqnent legislation, and that when the research has to be made through well printed volumes, furnished with well classified indices. When, therefore, it is considered that from the date of the incorporation of the City in 1834, to the issue of the present volume, upwards of five i aadred By- laws have been from time to time passed, v/hich could only be, for the most part, referred to in manuscript volumes in which they were transcribed, but without any thing like an analytical index or digest of their contents, or to call attention to repeal or amendment, it will be admitted that the wording of the prefixed resolution under which this publication was under- taken, expressed, without exaggeration, its necessity. Reference to the minutes of the Council shews that such a work was often contemplated, and resolutions in its furtherance frequently adopted, only to be abandoned, and it was not until the year 1 860, that Mr. Justice Wilson, who then filled the office of Mayor, after expending much time and labour in going through these manuscript volumes and comparing and noting changes in the way of repeal or amendment, arranged a By-law (No. 334) VI PREFACE. which repealed a number of By-laws that were at that time obsolete, and partially amended others : to the value of this By-law, and the labour of the learned Judge, as preliminary to the present com- pilation, the Commissioners bear willing testimony. The lapse of time, and the additional legi.slation since 1860, rendered it necessary that the Com- missioners should again carefully review the entire series of civic enactments, which having been done, they had next to consider the best plan to bo adopted to carry out the intention of the Council as embodied in their Ilesolntion or Commission. 'Vo this end three courses [)resented themselves : — First, to i)rint the By-laws as they then existed with notes pointing out amendment or repeal : — Secondly, to codify, or in other words to classify and re-arrange the whole body of legislation ac- cording to subjects : — or Thirdly, (being a modifica- tion of the first) to pr nt the entire series, having first consolidated all tiie By-laws relating to the same subjects, and amended, where necessary, those relating to a single purpose. The first course was soon discovered to be im- practicable, for it was found that there were so many By-laws on the same subjects to which there had been continuous addition and amendment that many of their sections were clearly contradictory, while in others the intention of the Council was lost in the obscurity of frequent change, it was therefore considered that publication in such shape would still leave the By-laws in a condition difiicult to inter- pret, if not calculated to mislead those who had to refer to them, and thus defeat the main object of easy and intelligible reference.

The Commissioners therefore, after much hesita- tion, decided to adopt the third expedient, and print the volume in its present shape. Another reason which influenced the Commis- sioners in a great measure iu deciding on this course, instead of codification, was the difficulty of getting over the numbering of the By-laws, particu- larly those relating to, and referred to by their numbers in the various issues of City Debentures, and the further consideration, that as this was to be the first publication of the laws of the City, whatever shape subsequent publications might assume, it was desirable that the first should exhibit and record the unbroken course of civic legislation by giving the series of both numbers and titles from the beginning, with the sole distinction of only printing at length the By-laws still in force. The foregoing remarks being, as it were, pre- liminary, some further explanations respecting the contents of the present volume are deemed in place in presenting the same to the Council. In the first place, the Commissioners considered it an appropriate introduction to furnish a schedule ll VIU PREFACE. 'Ill of tho names of tlio Members of the Council and leading Civic Officials during tho long series of yours, the legislation of which has been under considera- tion, thus rendering it a matter of easy reference to ascertain, on the one hand, the names of the Mem- bers of Council at the time any By-law was passed, and *.o preserve, on tho other, a record of useful and for tho most part gratuitous service, rendered to the City by its civic representatives and officials, many of whom have long since passed away. In the next place the Commissioners finding them- selves frequently surrounded by ambiguity in the matter of both repeal or amendment from the sub- sequent repeal, it might be, of the amending or repealing enactment, or otherwise, to set the same finally at rest, followed the precedent of Mayor Wilson's Act, already referred to, and can now confidently refer to By-laws numbers 484 and 505, in which a final and complete summary of every provision of tho Council on those heads is embodied and set forth, — which " Amending and Repealing" By-laws being printed in full in the series, as the key or authority, the amendments are inserted in their places in the diff'erent By-laws where they occur, without further reference or comment. The consolidation of the numerous By-laws refer- ring to similar subjects, and the revision of others relating to a single purpose has been proceeded with with a careful endeavour to preserve, as far as pos- sible, both the wording and tho intention of the original framers of the enactments, and to amend only in those particulars that were necessary to bring them into accord with the existing Municipal Law, and the present and prospective requirements PREFACE. is of the City. These " Consolidated " By-laws having been of necessity submitted to the Council for re- adoption were passed, the majority on the 2Gth of October, 1868, and the remainder on the 2Glh of November, 1869, by reference to which dates they may be readily referred to in the present volume. As bearing on these "Consolidated" By- laws, in the preparation of which was involved the, heaviest labour of the Commissioners, it may not bo out of place to refer to their first report to the Council, inserted in the minutes of the 26th July, 1868. It was considered unadvisable to amend or in any way to interfere with those By-laws relating to the subjects over which the Commissioners of Police now exercise jurisdiction, their titles have tlierefore been merely printed. Reference, it is felt, may be briefly made to two other series of By-laws now for the first time printed at large, namely. By-laws authorizing the leasing of lands belonging to the City, and By-laws author- izing the issue of Debentures. With regard to the former no particular comment is necessary, and as perspicuity has been the main aim of the Commissioners, they have had prepared on a reduced scale and inserted at the couimenco- ment of the volume sundry Maps of the properties referred to, which will be found of use in readin^i; these "Lease" By-laws. With regard to the latter it was only deemed necessary to print those By-laws under which, from enquiries at the Chamberlain's office, it was ascer- tained that Debentures were still outstanding. These X PREFACE. '• Debenture " By-laws afford an opportunit.y of noting, in the StSady growth and development of the City, the unavoidable creation of what is known as the " City Debenture Debt." A few other Maps having reference to other By- laws and prepared with a like object to that named above, will be also found at the commencement of the volume. In addition to Marginal Notes inserted throughout the volume, the Index or Digest at the conclusion lias, in compliance with the desire of the Council, been made as full and complete as possible. It is hoped that these united means of reference will accomplish in utility what they cost in labour. Foreseeing the bulk the present extended publi- cation w^ould attain, it was considered advisable, while the type was standing, to publish simulta- neously a smaller volume entitled " By-laws of Prac- tical Utility and General Application," containing those By-laws (about thirty-two in number) which have to be more frequently referred to, and for the infraction of the provisions of which penalties may be incurred. The Commissioners having availed themselves of the sanction of the Council to employ clerical assist- ance, record the valuable services rendered in that behalf by Frank J. Joseph, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, whose knowledge of Municipal Law, and ability in its application to the work of the Commission, afforded no small assistance in the preparation of these volumes and their passage through the press. It is not considered necessary to extend the length of these prefatory remarks by any lengthy apologies PREFACE. xi ortunitj of lopment of it is known ) other By- hat named ncement of throughout conclusion e Council, ssible.

In conclusion it is not presumed that the By-laws as now revised may not from time to time, as circum- stances or experience may demand, require in many respects to be modified or amended ; but it is hoped, that apart from the convenience the citizens will derive from having the laws of the City printed in a complete and convenient form, the By-laws as they now exist will aid more effectually to carry out the practical working of the various departments of the Corporation and materially conduce to the wel- fare and good government of the City.
