'l‘he warden, J. Hattman, Esq . in ad- dressing the Council said, that he was; happy to be able again to meet them on this occasion. It was not his intention to detain them long, but he might state that the business which was left in his hands to transact alter the Council ad- A joumed inst January, had all received his attention. The first item was in re- ference to Mr. Tully’s N‘P( rt. matter had been referred to Messrs Cumberland and Fleming, and upon their certificate Mr. '1 ully had been paid. The next item was relative to the dispute between the Water Works Company and the Coucil, in regard to this he was glad to be in a position to state that the inatâ€" ter had been settled by arbitation. The necessary panels connected therewith would all he laid before the Council. In reference to the aibitrntion case between . the City and County Council relative to , the gaol, he regretted to say that it had not as yet been completed. The delay, however, was not to be attributed in any way to any one connected with this Coun- cil. It principally arose from the course which had been taken by the arbitrators. Mr. Gibb and Mr. B \(lt'u‘l‘ had been apâ€" pointed rerpectirely 1y the county and city, and theydmd selected Mr. Auditor General Langton to act with them. The parties had all consented to act, but it was not until last 'l'hnrsday that a meet- ing had been held. He trusted, how- ever, that ere long an award Would be made which he hoped would be satisfac- toty. lle would state the petition of the Council respecting the Municipal law had been submitted to the Legislature at the proper time, and he tell glad to be able to add that many of the suggestions contained in the petition had been approv- ed of, and embodied in the new act, which he thought there was every reason to believe would soon become law. There was one other matter to which he would allude. Since the last meeting the emi- net Medical Otficer ol the gaol, Dr. \Vidmer had died, and in consequence a vacancy had occurred. The deceased had held the olfice of Medical attendant to the gaol for upwards of 30 years, be having been appointed to the office by the Board of Quarter Sessions, though he (the Warden) believed that. there was no specific authority rested in the Magis- trales for making such appointments. He alluded to the matter the more particular- ly at this time, from the fact that since Dr. Vl'idner’s death there had been a large number of applications made for the appointment to the vacant office. A short time ago the Clerk of the Peace is sued a notice calling a meeting of the Magistrates, and dint meeting was to be held on Wednesday next, in order to fill the vacancy. His own view of the mat- ter was that the power to make will an appointment was vested in the Council. But as he had no wish that they (the Council) should come into collision with their brother Magistrates, he would sugâ€" gest that no action be taken in the matter untill the meeting of Magistrates on \Ved- nesday. The members of the Council being also members at the Board of Quar- ter Sessions, would thus be enable to attend the meeting and take part in its proceedings, so that there might be no misunderstanding between the two bodies. He was of opinion that in future an au- thority for making such appointments would be vested in the Council as a pro- vision to that ctfect, bad betn included in the New Municipal Act. He would state that Several ('einands for payment of outstanding accounts had been made on the Council, and it was for them to say whether they were correct or not. He might mention that he had received a number of communications, among others one from Mr Tully with copies of the report drawn up by Col. Mason respect- ing the Georgian Bay Canal, and one from the Registrar ol the County at Peel, infotming him that the oflice needed res pairs. He held in his hand a letter from Mr. Dennison which he would now rend. It. had reference to the building about to be erected for the Prorincial Fair to be held in Toronto in the mouth of Septem- ber next.

There were also‘ sexier-a1 dele- gates present from the ditferent lodges. The proceedings were characterized by the most perfect unanimity. We feel it is quite un- neceSsary for us to urge the numer- ous and peculiar claims this socie- ty has upon the public. We know that it has done much good. The widow and the fatherless are pecu- liarly the objects of its regards. It also affords pecuniary and otherre~ ulsovaflords pecuniary and othcrre~ lief to the indigent and aillicted son of humanity, such facts as these- speuk for. themselves, they require no comment. We hope to see the day when such societies will be much more universal then they are at the present time, which we feel assured will be the case whentheir aims and objects are better under- stood. chm't of the Grand Annual Commit tee 0/ the Tumnto Disti'ict.
