I TORONTO: S C O n r E AND BALFOUR PRINT KINO STREET. K n s, NOTICE BY THE TUBLISIIERS. of the ;istJar OUR. The groat changoB that havo lately been made in iho Municipal Insalntions of Upper Canada, and tho extension of the Municipal system, suggested to the subscribers, the propriety and necessity of collecting in a compact form, the various Acts and parts of Acts of Parliament, now in force in tho Province, relating to those Institutions. Those Acts are scattered over several volumes of thu Statute Hook, which are not at all times to be obtr'nod by parties wishing to consult them, and even when accessible, they are by no means of a convenient shape for reference. The subscribers have, therefore, carefully collected these Acts together, an I now present them in a form at once cheap and convenient. They trust that this publication will meet with favour, and that the foundation will thus be laid, for issuing annually, n Municipal Manual, embodying those changes which may hereafter take place, with such other information as may be necessary, to render the community familiar with the Municipal Laws and the mode of carrying them beneficially and legally into execution. Tho Municipal Acts form the second part of the Manual. The first part comprises lists of the various Municipalities, Division Courts, &c., which have been collected with great care, and will be found very useful for reference. The compilation has been attended with considerable labour, and the amount of matter embodied in it, is such as to render it an acquisition to all who interest themselves in the public affairs of the Province. The PublieherQ tender their grateful acknowledgements to the gentlemen in the several Counties, who have kindly aided them, in supplying information for the work. SCOBIE & BALFOUR.
