The copy filmed here has been reproduced thanks 
 to the generosity of: 
 
 National Library of Canada 
 
 The images appearing here are the best quality 
 possible considering the condition and legibility 
 of the original copy and in keeping with the 
 filming contract specifications. 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche 
 shall contain the symbol -^ (meaning "CON- 
 TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 l\/laps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method:

 8. Meredith demands School trustees shall be elwtod by ballot. 
 
 9. Meredith demands No private schools shall receive government 
 aid. 
 
 10. Meredith demundH Ml drsiring to change from one school sec; 
 tion to another shall pursue the same legal procedure, they shall be 
 equal before the luw. Now proti'.ttants may not change without regu- 
 lar procedure and iiermissiou from municipal councils.

 15. Meredith demands Rtipreseotation by population. 
 
 16. Meredith demands Public money shall be exiwndcd under c<m- 
 trol and by vote of the people's representotives in parliament. The 
 contracting for the expenditure on the new i)arliamont building of 
 two millions of dollars of the people's money in excess of the sum 
 voted IS a direct violatuin of the constitution and the peoples rights. 
 The abuse by the Executive of the sale of timber limits also furnishes 
 serious ground for complaint.

 husbanded, to avoid direct taxation.
