 THE MUNICIPAL LOAN FUND OF UPPER CANADA. 
 
 The Upper Canad-i Municipal Loan Fund, to consist of all monej's directed to form 
 part thereof, was established by the 16th Vict., cap. 22, passed on the 10th November, 
 1852. Unlimited powers of borrowing on the credit of the said fund, subject to the 
 approval of the Governor in Council, were by the same Act conferred upon'^the Upper 
 Canada Municipalities to enable them to effect certain public improvements, and these 
 powers continued until the passing of the Act 18 Vict., chap. 13, on the 18th December 
 1854, by which the Fund itself was limited to .£1,500,000 sterling, together with such 
 further sums as constitute the Sinking Fund thereof, and the extent to Avhich a Muni- 
 cipality miglit borrow was thereby limited to 20 per cent, on the aggregate valuation of 
 property in the said Municipality, according to the then last assessment roll thereof: 
 and by the 22nd Vict., chap. 15, passed on tho 4th May, 1859, no further loans to 
 Upper Canada Municipalities could be made on the credit of the Fund, except under 
 By-laws sanctioned by the Governor in Council prior to the date of that Act. 
 The moneys wliich hiivo been directed to constitute the Fund are : 
 1. Those paid in by the^Municipalities on account of the principal and interest of 
 their respective loans. 
 
 f J' ?/ *-"^ ^']^'' ^^*^*'' ^^^P- ^^' P*^^^^ 2^*^ '^^^^' ^^57» ^' was provided that the share 
 ot the Municipalities Fund, accruing to .any Municipality certified by the Receiver 
 General to be in default, or to the several Municipalities in any County while such 
 County is so certified to be in default, may be carried to the credit of such Municipality 
 or County on account of such default. By the 22nd Vict., chap. 15, sec. G, passed 4th 
 May, 1859, (known as tlio Compromise Act), it was provided that so long as any sum of 
 money is payable to the Receiver General by any Municipality under previous Acts 
 relating to the Loan Fund, he may always retain in his hands any sum of money which 
 would otherwise be payable by him to such Municipality, crediting the same to it in his 
 accounts with it under the said Acts. But by the 22nd Vict., chap. 48, sec. 20, passed 
 also on the 4th May, 1859, (being the Seigniorial Amendment Act of 1859), it was 
 enacted that so long as any Municipality shall at any time be in default m any payment 
 which ought to have been made by it to the said Loan Fund, such Municipality shall 
 have no share in any distribution of the Upper Canada Municipalities Fund, which shall 
 be made while such Municipality is so in default, and the share it would otherwise have 
 am shall go to the other Municipalities. 
 
 3. By the Act just cited it was also provided that a sum of money equal to that 
 which under the provisions of the Seigniorial Amendment Act of 1859, will be pavable 
 yearly to Seigiuors in Lower Canada out of the Provincial Funds, ovor and above the 
 ainount payable to them out of the Fund for the relief of the censitaires under the 
 Seigniorial Act of 1854, shaU be payable yearly out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund 
 of this Province to the credit of the Upper Canada Municipal Loan Fund, so lon<^ as the 
 Province is under advances to the said Fund. , v o « """ 
 
 *« 1.^^ *!i® ^f^^ Vict., chap. 22, the Governor in Council was authorized to direct loans 
 Fnn^r^'.-^''^'^" Upper Canada Budding Fund to meet the charges on the lZ 
 ±und from time to time, but this provision was never acted upon. 
 
 The payments to be made by the Municipalities were fixed by the 16th Vict., chap 
 
 :Lf J^Vrf .y ^^^ ""^.^ P^J ^«"'- ^"'^ "^t^'^^st. a^d 2 per cent, for Sinking Fund on the 
 amount of their respective Loans. By the 20th Vic , chap. 20, it was provided with 
 respec to the cases of Municipalities in default, that as it mi|ht be inexpeTent to pTS 
 the collection of the whole sum due, the Governor might issue his warrant to the Sheriff 
 San lof Z^f ''":, ^^S?®^^, i""^^ '^T, providini that such rate should not be S

 paid, and the time and manner of payment, it is necessary that its loading provision* 
 should be briefly stated. It provides — 
 
 1. That instead of the payments which each Municipality was bound to make under 
 
 {)revious Acts, a s>im equal to five cents in the dollar on the assessed yearly value, or a 
 ike per centage on the interest at six per cent, per annum on the assessed value, of all 
 the assessable property in every Municipality which had raised money by Debentures on 
 the credit of the Municipal Loan Fund, should be paid by such Municipality to the 
 Receiver (General, on or before the first day of December, 18.5!), and every year there- 
 after, until the total amount in principal and interest, payable by reason of its loan, 
 should be paid and satisfied, or a smaller sum should be sufficient to satisfy the same in 
 any year, in which case such smaller sum only should be so paid. 
 
 2. But the sum to be so paid by a Municipality should never be less than the same 
 per centage on the Assessment Holls for the year 1858 for-the same Municipality would 
 have produced, and in case of diminished value from that standard the rate was to be pro- 
 portionately increased, and was to be imposed on any increased assessed value over that of 
 the year stated. 
 
 By 29-30 Vict-, chap. 53, sec. 12, and 32 Vict., chap. 3C, sec. 12, for the rate of 
 five cents in the dollar on the assessed yearly value, and on six per cent, for the annual 
 assessed actual value, as provided in 22 Vict, chap. 15, was substituted a rate of not less 
 than ore-third of a cent in the dollar upon the actual value of all rateable property 
 in all Municipalities in Upper Canada indebted to the Upper Canada Municijjal Loan 
 Fund, unless a smaller rate would produce eight per cent, upon the capital of the loan ; 
 but it was provided that if the rate of one-third of a cent in the dollar on the actual 
 value of the property should produce a less sum than five cents in the dollar on the 
 annual value thereof in 1858, such a rate should be levied as would produce a sum equal 
 to that produced by a rate of five cents in the dollar on the Assessment Rolls of the 
 year 1858. 
 
 Since 1859 only five per cent, interest has been charged on the principal of each 
 loan, the Government in that year having consolidated and assumed the entire indebted- 
 ness of the Municipalities created under the Municipal Loan Fund, and issued therefor 
 6 per cent. Provincial bonds, which were accepted at par by the holders of the Muni- 
 cipal Loan Fund debentures, which were given up and cancelled. Therefore, as the 
 Government paid only 5 per cent., it has charged the Municipalities only 5 per cent, 
 which would make the interest and sinking fund 7 per cent, per annum instead of 8 per cent 
 
 3. The sum so to be paid was to be the first charge upon all the funds of a Munici- 
 pality, and any Treasurer or other officer of a Municipality who should, after the Isfe 
 December, 1859, pay any sum whatever out of any funds of the Municipality in his hands 
 until the sum due to the Receiver General was paid, should be deemed guilty of a mis- 
 demeanor, and be liable for every sum so paid as for money received by him for the 
 Crown. 
 
 4. If the sum aforesaid was not paid, the Municipality was to be held to be in default, 
 f il to be liable to be dealt with in the manner provided by previous Acts with regard 
 1.. .Municipalities in default. 
 
 5. To ensure the collection of the sum aforesaid, a special rate upon all the assesjK 
 alile property in every Municipality which had raised money by Debentures on the credit 
 of the Municipal Loan Fund of five cents in the dollar upon the yearly value, and a like 
 per centage en the interest at the rate of six per cent, on the assessed value, was imposed 
 in the year 1859, and a like rate in each year thereafter, until the entire debt and inte- 
 rest should be paid oif, or a lower rate substituted by Order in Council, in cases where 
 such lower rate would be sufficient to pay the interest and Sinking Fund. Such rate to 
 be entered on the Collector's rolls and collected and paid to the Treasurer as ordinary 
 rates, whether any other rate was or was not imposed, and the proceeds of such rate were 
 to be applied by the Treasurer exclusively towards the payment of the sum payable by the 
 Municipality to the Receiver General in each year ; and it was further provided that any 
 treasurer, collector or other Municipal officer, or functionary, or any member of the Muni- 
 cipal Council, wilfully neglecting or refusing to perform or concur in performing any official 
 act requisite for the collection of the said rate, or misapplying, or being a party to the

 TOWNSHIP OF BERTIE. 
 
 This township, in 1853, borrowed under the Municipal Loan Fund $40,000, which 
 it invested in the stock of the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Railway Company, which 
 proved worthless, and was wiped out in the Act incorporating the Buffalo and Lake Huroa 
 Railway Company, the successors of the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Railway Com- 
 pany. The annual assessable property in 1858 amounted to $39,525.60, producing by 
 five cents in the dollar, $1,976.28. The annual payment required at 5 per cent, interest 
 and 2 per cent sinking fund would be $2,800. This township is rapidly paying ofTits indebt- 
 edness. It has paid up its interest, and has $10,399.24 to the credit of its sinking fund. 
 It has paid for principal and interest, $47,480.53, up to the first of July, 1871. The fol- 
 lowing is a detailed statement of its payments, with dates : —

 assisted by the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company, it kept up the payment of

 advanced to the Railway Company, and secured by a first mortgage, held jointly with 
 the united counties of Lanark and Renfrew, and the township of Elikbethtown, on the 
 railway From this period the town fell rapidly into arrear, until, in June, 1859 it had 
 accumulated a debt, for interest and contingency, of upwards of $69 000

 THE TOWN OF BARRIE. 
 
 In May, 1855, Batrie borrowed the sum of $12,000, which was expended in local 
 improvements. The indebtedness of the town to the Municipal Loan Fund is unchanged. 
 It has no sinking fund to its credit, but is not in arrear with its interest. Five cents on 
 the dollar on the assessment of 1858 would produce $876, more than 5 per cent interest, 
 and 2 per cent, sinking fund on loan. But hitherto the town has only paid the interest 
 on the capital. The total payments made by Baiiie amount to $10,520.60. The follow- 
 ing is a detailed statement of payments with dates, to the first of January, 1871 : —

 With ro^ard to security the treasurer adds : — " The only bond or security the Cor- 
 poration holds is deterred stock in the C. P. and Marmora Railway and Mining Com- 
 pany to the extent of $120,000, the value of which wo cannot estimate at present. It 
 seems to us valueless. It gives our Mayor a seat at the Railway Board, and that seems 
 its only value." 
 
 The total loans, as has been stated, amount to $500,000. The total payments to 
 $61,898.93. Tlie arrears of interest are $588,387.39. The annual value of the assess- 
 ment for 1871, !$8G,489 ; that for 1858, $135,225. Tlio annual payment for interest at 
 five per cent, and sinking fund at two per cent, would be $35,000. The annual payment 
 of five cents in the dollar on the lusaessment for 1858 would be $0,761.30.

 balance, $6,000, was expended on the " Chippawa Cut," which unites the Niagara an 
 Welland rivers. 
 
 For four and a half years from June, 1853, to January, 1858, the mterest on tl 
 whole loan was kept paid up. The village then fell into arrear, bat with the assistani 
 of a portion of the tolls levied on the " Chippawa Cut," and authorized by Order 
 C5ouncil, dated 10th June, 1859. to be paid over to the Municipality (Public Acts, 186 
 part 1, page 188), it made its payments of five cents in the dollar for the years fro 
 1859 to 1866 inclusive. The allowance to the village taken out of the canal to 
 commenced in 1859, and appears to have been discontinued in 1805, (the last ent 
 traceable being in the Public Accounts of 1865, part 1, page 178), and the payment 
 five cents in the dollar ceased with the year 1866. Only one later payment having be 
 made of $635 in June, 1868.

 Tliia County in 1866, borrowed, under the Municipal Loan Fund, $32,000, which it 
 devoted to local improvements. The total payments made on account of loan amount to 
 ^33,895.05, and it has to the credit of its sinking fund $12,791.69. The actual value of 
 its assessable projxTty in 18r)8, was $2,824,000, and its annual value $109,440. In 1871, 
 actual value $.'),. 'Jf) 0,000, annual value $321,300. It is scarcely worth while to say that 
 five cents in tlu! (lollar is far more than is required for the annual payment of interest at 
 5 per cent., and sinking fund at 2 per cent, on the loan. The last payment was made in 
 1870. The followiiig is a statement of the payments in detail with dates : —

 of the Government payments in proportion to their loan. When the relief Act of five 
 cents in the dollar was passed, these terms were altered to enable the Company to par- 
 ticipate in the benefits of the relief ; but these modified terms they have been unable to 
 meet, and are in arrear to the town $5,144 for interest. 
 
 Since 1859, the town has kept up its payments of five cents in the dollar of the 
 assessment of 1858, Avith the exception of the year 1868, in which no payment was made. 
 
 In addition to the loan effected by the town directly under the Municipal Loan 
 Fund, it has also to bear its proportion of the loan effected by the County of Huron, as 
 one of its Municipalities, and to which it has contributed over $20,000. 
 
 The total amount of its payments to the 1st January, 1871, is $63,983.89. The 
 amount of interest in arrear is $36,819.84. Its taxable property in 1858 was, annual 
 value, $86,378. In 1871, $59,733. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 
 produces $4,318.93. The full payments of 5 per cent, interest and 2 per cent, sinking 
 fund would be $7,000. The following is a statement of the payments in detail with

 THE TOWN OF GUELPH. 
 
 In 1855 this town borrowed $80,000, which it handed over to the Great Western 
 Railway Company, to aid in the construction of the Gait and Guelph Railway. The 
 Town Treasurer states that the town has hitherto derived no revenue from this invest- 
 ment, and from the accounts of the Great Western Railway Company, there is no pros- 
 pect of tho town ever receiving back any portion of iho principal or interest money bor- 
 rowed under the Municipal Loan Fund. It appears that the Gait and Guelph Railway^ 
 by a decision of Chancery has passed into the hands of the Great Western Railway Com- 
 pany ; and the Great Western Railway Company considers itself discharged from any 
 accountability to the town of Guelph.

 UNITED COUNTIES OF LANARK AND RENFREW. 
 
 The sum of $800,000 borrowed by these counties, under the Municipal Loan Fund, 
 was lent to the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company, and on the same security as 
 that given to the to^vnship of Elizabethtown and the town of Brockville. 
 
 Tlie Act, however, 23 Victoria, cap. 109, limited the liability of the Railway Com- 
 pany, in respect of the several sums borrowed from the above named municipalities, to 
 the payment ol hve cents in the dollar on the respective assessments payable by them to 
 the Government, under the Act cap. 83, sec. 88, Con. Stat. Canada. The municipalities 
 hemselves, however, are not reUeved from their responsibility, as will be seen by refer

 CITY OF OTTAWA. 
 
 This city, in 1853, borrowed $200,000 under the Municipal Loan Fund, and ad- 
 vanced it to the By town and Prescott (now tlie St. Lawrence and Ottawa) Railway, 
 which loan was, in common with other loans made by other Municipalities, secured by 
 mortgage on the property of the Comjiany. The city also invested $CO,000 in the stock 
 of the Company. Tho stock was sold under a confession of judgment for a sum between 
 two and three thousand dollars. On tho mortgage no portion of the principal or interest 
 has been paid, and the City Cl(;rk states " that recent legislation and other proceedingg 
 have rendered it entirely worthless." 
 
 In the beginning of January, 18G,3, the city had fallen into airear on its interest 
 account in upwards of $86,000. Since that period the annual interest on the loan has been 
 paid, and the arrears reduced by upwards of $30,000, considerable sums having been paid 
 m within the last two years. 
 
 The total payments to date are $167,330.31, and the amount standing at the debit 
 of interest is $55,654.26. "■ ------ - " 
 
 cent, sinking fund o 
 
 in 1858 was $194,1 
 
 value of the assessment of 1871 produces $15,900, more than enough to pay intCTest and 
 
 Binking fund on the loan, and if continued by th.e city it will soon wipe out the arrears 
 
 •f interest and rapidly pay off the debt. The followingis a statement of its paymenU
