 VmTtb COUNTIES OF LEEDS AnD GRENVILLE. 
 
 • • 
 
 Resolutions adopted undnimofisly by ike Municipal Council of the VnU^i 
 Counties of Leeds and Grenvillet o» the XGthden^ of October^ 1851. 
 
 the Public Dtbt of ibe Province, aad in- 
 curs an annual expenditure (at 6 per 
 ceDium of X240,0C0 Tor interest alone ; 
 and ioasnnuch aico aa the said Act pro- 
 vi(!ea,tbat this enormous sum of <£4,000,< 
 000, iball first be appropriated to the coii> 
 struction of that portion of the said roadj 
 which lied between Halifax in NcvA 
 Scotia and New Brunswick, and from 
 jihence to Quebec : thus exhausdrrg the 
 whole four millions (and it may be more) 
 on a portion of the|read, far distant from 
 and utieriy useless to Upper Canada, ar.d 
 leaving the balance of the road from Que- 
 bec to Hamilton, through thu whole of 
 the Upper Province unprovided for, and 
 (fever built, requiring further aopropria- 
 fions and increased debts and taxes, op- 
 
 )ressive to the People and adverse to the 
 
 nteresis of Upper Canada. 
 
 5. Resolved, — ' .at i( such Trunk line 
 ihould commence at Montreal, or even at 
 Quebec, instead of at Halifax, and tun 
 |rom either of the said Cities to Toronto 
 pr Hamilton, this Council would wiiliitg-^ 
 1/ support such a scheme, as it would 
 |as9 through the Cities, chief Towns and 
 settled portions of both Upper & Lower 
 Canada, and be based upon equal jus- 
 tice to the Eastern, as well as to the 
 IVestern sections of the now united Pro- 
 invces. 
 
 6. Resolved,— Thvil Petitions be pre- 
 pared and presented to the Provincial 
 Legislature, one nraying for the repeal of 
 io much of the Act of the 14<ih and loili 
 
 f Victoria, Chapter 73, as authorises 
 6 contraction of the said aebt of four 
 nilliohs, on a road east of Quebec j and 
 tie cthei- for the grant of a Charter to 
 oonsrruct a Rail Road from the Georgian 
 Say on Lake Huron to Brockville and 
 frescott on tbe St. Lawrenoe. 
 
 '*^7* Resohedf — That a printed copy of 
 yieae resolutione be forwarded to the 
 iVTerBl Municipalities in Upper Canada, 
 ilequesting their concurrence therein. 
 (A true Copv,) 
 JAMES JES'SUP, 
 
 1. Retolved,~-T\\eil this Council des- 
 ires to oifer its humble gratitude to the 
 Great Giver of all good for the abundant 
 Harvest with which it has pleased Him 
 to crown the labours of tbe industrious 
 Husbandman, during the prestot season. 
 
 2. Reso/wfia, — That this Council 
 springing directly from the People, iden- 
 tified with, and bppointed to walcb over 
 their interests and prosperity ; embraces 
 tbe present opportliity of expressing its 
 satisfaction at the progress already made 
 in (he construction of Macadamized, 
 Plank and Gfavel Roads, as well by pri- 
 vate enterprise as by ibe public funds, 
 and that it also rejoices in the opening 
 prospect of the extension of Railway 
 communications, which have a power- 
 ful tendency to facilitate Agricultural, 
 Mechanical and Mercantile enterprisa ; 
 and t^ promote ihe improvement, social 
 comforts and general progress of the 
 Country. 
 
 V 3. J2eso/v£(/,— That the Hoe of Rail 
 * Road contemplated fl^m the St. Law- 
 rence to Lake Huron', is oneof vaet im- 
 portance to the Province of Canada, af- 
 fording au it will do, to tbe wboUe traffic 
 of tbe Great West and North West, a 
 direct line of communication across this 
 Province, by a much nearer route to the 
 Atlantic Ocean than any yet contemplat- 
 ed i and this Council trusts that a Char- 
 ter may be granted by the Provincial 
 Legislature, at its next Session, for the 
 construction of the said Road, and upon 
 the same liberal terms and conditions, 
 as other Charters have been granted for 
 similar purposes. 
 
 4>. R^solvedt — That the scheme of a 
 Grand Trunk Rail^vay to connect Toron- 
 to with Halifax, via, Quebec, as contem- 
 plated by the 14th and 15th Victoria, 
 Chapter 73, may have been conceived 
 in Patriotism and Intended for tbe Pub>- 
 lie goad; but this Council, without prQ« 
 sun.ing to impugn the motives of its sap- 
 porters, cannot allow the present oppor- 
 tunity to pass, without expressing its
