NOVEMBER MEETING, 1872. *

The special coTrniittee appointed by the Unitd Counties of
Leeds and Grenville under By-law No. 370, dated the 23rd June,
1871, to superintend the buildinfj of an addition to the Gaol at
Brmtkville and the erection of a Registry Office for the County of
Leeds, beg leave to mnke this their fourth report.

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE GAOT,. '

The work on this building is now completed according to con*
tract, to the satisfaction of your coinmiitee and also of the In-
spectoi of Prisons, and the balance due to the contractor of $500
has been paid, making in all the sum of ?s55O0, as agreed.

By some oversight the amount of $320 for extra work done and
recommended for payment in the committee's last report has not
been paid, and the contractor onipliins of the delay.

RE(iISTRY OFFICE FOR LEEDS.

This building is now completed, and your committee advised
the Hon. S. Sjnith, the Inspector of Registry Otiices, of the fict,
and requesting him to name a time when it would be convenient
for him to inspect the building previous to its acceptance from the
contractor, according to the conditioi* of the Government's printed
specification.

The reply received thereto accompanies this report, wherein
the committee were informed that ^NFr, Smith was then in England,
hut expected to return shortly if bis health would permit.

The drain ordered by the Inspector on his visit in June last, and
i«anctioned by the Council at their last meeting, to be made on
the East end and South side of the building has been done, and
your committee recommend the payment of the contract price for
the work of $300.

Your committee have had before them an account of John
Gordon for extra work done, amounting to the sum of $170, which
they recommend should be paid.

The first item of $150 is for additional f )otings to the foundation
walls, arising from the position of the ground where the building
is erected, it being necessary to raise the wall sufficiently high
above the ground to avoid dump. Tlie other item- of $20 is for
foui" additional iron frames to strengthen inside doors, and ordered
by the Inspector, S. Smith, F-;q.

The amount paid to the contractor up to date of the report

m^mmM&

upon the contract for Registry Office is $5,150, leaving a balance
due on the work done of $250.

Your comniittee request instructions tvom the Council as to
what party they should hand over the custody of the building
when approved of by the Inspector.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

Palmer, Principal of the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in the
Province of Ontario. In said communication reference is made to
a circular issued by the Inspector of Asylums and Prisons, which

your committee would recommend to each member of the Council to
circulate the information therein coutiiiued throughout the various
municipalities which they represent, so that the very liberal offer
of the Government may be taken advantage of as much as possible.
The Government circular is as follows : —

" The Government ha\iug had under consideration the desirability
of reducing the rate of all pupils sent by various municipalities to the
Ontario Institution for the Deaf and Dinub, have pleasure in infoira-
ing you that from the opening of the ensuing session, Municipal Cor-
porations will only be charged one dollar per week for the board of
pupils TV hose parents, or guardians are unable to pay for the same.

" This reduction in the rate of boai-d is authorized by the Govern-
ment for the purpose of enabling the institution to accomplish to the
fullest extent the object for which it was founded, viz., that every
deaf mute of school age in the Province might be placed under in-
struction. It is most sincerely hoped that all municipalities having
deaft mute children within their limits will heartily co-operate
with the Government in endeavoring to bring about this most desired
residt, and that the gi-eatest promptitude and liberality will be shown
by them in seeking out and sending forward pupils at the opening of
the next session, on the 4th September, 1872."

All of which is respectfully submitted.

To flis Excellency the Honournhlp William 1'. Ifowlaml, C B., Lieut.-
Governor of the I'rovitice (if Ontario, in Council :

The petition of the Council of the Corporation of the United
Counties of Leeds anil Grenville humbly sheweth,

Tlu-t the Eastern section of tliis Province is sadly in need of a
Normal School, and that youi Excellency's advisers being convinced
thereof, have decided in recommending the erection of the necessary
buildings.

That your petitioners request that Brockville may be selected for
the site of the said Noi'tnal School, for the following reasons :

1. The Eastern section of Ontario may be assumed as lying to the
East of the Ccunty of Hastings, and Brockville is almost exactly
central betwecjn Prince Edward and Glengarry Counties, the Western
and Eastern Counties respectively, while Renfrew, Lanark, and
Carleton radiate around it from North west to North-East.

2. If population V)e a test Brockville is also the centre, thus, on the
West we have Prince Edward, Lennox, Addingtou, ami Frontenac
with a population of G5,378, and on the East, Russell, Prescott,
Stormont, Dundas i\iu\ Glengarry with a popnlatioxi of GG,975, while
the Northern Counties of Renfrew. Lanai-V and Carleton furnish
72,186, and at the same time the United Counties of Leeds and
Grenville, in which Brockville is situa'-.ed, contains a population of
nearly 00,000.

3. Brockville is the only town in the Eastern section accessib!3
from all parts by a single line of railway, being connected to the East
and West b} the Gi-und Trunk, and to the North by the Brockville
and Ottawa and Canada Central.

4. 1 n a sanitary point of view Brockville has no comi:)eers, a great
desideratum to students, who can there breathe pure air and find
plenty of exercise in rowing among the ThouP'-nd Isles of the
St. Lawrence.

5. A site could be procured in Brockville at less expense than at

Kingston or Ottawa, while board or lodijing for studonts would also
be procured at less cost.

6. The largo school population of the town would also afford every
facility for furnishing an ample supply of pupils for tJie Model School
Department of the Nornuil Institution.

That for the foregoing reasons we trust that your Excel'iency'R ad-
visers will decide on recommending Brock ville as the most suitable
locality for the site of the ^ istern Normal School.

And your petitioners, as in duty bountl, dl ever pray.

Done in open Council at the T:wn of Brockville the thirteenth day
of November, A. D. 1872.

JAMES J ESS UP, Clerk.

To His Excellency (lie ITononrahh Wi/linm P. Jfowhind, C.B., Lieut.-
Guvemor of tke Province of Ontario, in Cmincil.

The petition of the Council of the Corporation of the United Counties of
Leeds and Grenville humbly sheweth,

That the laws relathig to Joint Stock Road Companies mak'^ no provision iu
case any person or persons in their private capacity purchase, either under nlo
upon legal process or by private contract, any Joint Stock Company's Road, to
compel such person or persons to ktep the same in repair unless they exact tolls
from parties travelling thereon.

T' it your pptitioners are of opinion that such persons should be required to
keep the road so purchi-s<»d hy them in the same state of rei)air .as the Joint
Stock Company would have been obliged to do while tolls were being taken
upon the aaid Roads, had such sa!« and purchase not have been made, and be
subject to the same restrictions, obligations and liabilities as the Conipany
would have been if such road had not been sold, and that the obligations of
such company and of such person or persons should be further extended.

Your petitionors therefore pray that your Excellency may be pleased to
cau^e an Act to be passed by the Lej^slature of this Province, amending the
said Acts in such manner aj to provide that when any sucl comi>any or any
person or persons .-^o purcLasing such road as aforesaid, neglect to keep the
same in good am. sutricient repair, such company or such j)er.soa or persons
shall, cifter the lapse of such reasonable tin.3 as may be fixed upon, and after
due enquiry made under the direction of the County Judge, forfeit such road
and all claims thereto, and all cli>im for any moneys therefore expended thera-
for or thereon, and that such road shall become the property -( the local
Mimicipality or Municipalities within which it or part of it is situate.

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

Done in oDen Council at the Town of Brockville the thirteenth day of
November. A\D. 1872.
