 Toronto, June 3RI), 1896. 
 THE COUNTY CLERK. 
 
 Dear Sir, — 
 
 Our Association is advocating certain measures which, if adopted, 
 will relieve the counties of quite a financial burden, and will also promote 
 Prison Reform generally. To secure these reforms, however, the County 
 Councils should take action before the next meeting of the Ontario Legislative 
 Assembly. The reforms i)roposed are as follows, viz. : 
 
 1. The establishment, by the Ontario Government, of one or possibly 
 two Farm Colonies (say one in the East and one in the West), for the care 
 and possible cure of habitual drunkards. All are agre^ ' that sending this 
 class to jail is neither deterrent nor reformatory, and is moreover a great 
 expense to the County. On the other hand, according to the experience of 
 Great Britain and Holland, we might reasonably expect that under skilled 
 medical treatment and proper industrial employment, a fair proportion of these 
 inebriates may become reformed and useful citizens. 
 
 2. The second reform we are advocating is to make Industrial Schools 
 free to all the Municipalities. As matters now .':tand we find that many boys 
 are going to the bad who are allowed their freedom on the Suspended Sen- 
 tence System in order to save expense to the Munici )ality. This would be 
 prevented if Industrial Schools were made free by the Government. 
 
 1 send you some copies of our Annual Report for distribution. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 A. M. ROSEBRUGH, 
 
 Secretary, 
 
 P.S. — Allow me to suggest that a Standing Committee be appointed 
 by the Council to co-operate with similar Committees, to endeavour to secure 
 these very desirable reforms.
