but from In Toronto we learn It to question of reduction to the by resolution of council vote of ratcpayen thereon to be at lie municipal elections next January lie Act relates to the constitution of County Councils after it goes Into effect where electors of lie change Section a enacts that County Councils shall In counties containing not more than Inhabitant be composed of members In counties containing more than and of and In counties over or a greater number members My another provision the operations of this bill County Councillors fie to be elected second- Nominations shall be made In writing sailed by at least twenty five municipal electors in the county and deposited with the on or before the day of Decern her In each year In this respect the bill partakes of one presented to the legislature tome yean by the Hon- Commissioner of Crown but only passed the initial stage After nomination as above the pro of election Is aa follows Ala meeting of each municipal council in lie county held on he 3rd Monday of January the reeve and deputyreeve or deputies where more than one is elected aie to fill up and sign the voting papers Kuril or deputy is entitled to a number of voles equal to ihe number of County Councillors to be elected and by the introduc tion of the cumulative principle each may give all his votes to one candi date or he may distribute them over the entire number to be elected he deems The votes fire to be up and transmitted to the clerk of the county who is to open the packages end count ihc voles In the presence of the county judge or sheriff or in the absence of both of these officials in the presence of the county court clerk and to enter the votes given for each candidate in a book kept for that purpose and forthwith declare persons elected who have the highest number of votes Hie foregoing arc the main features of the bill to far as have been able to up to the present lime No doubt it will provoke very consider able discussion when it comes up for a second reading we heartily endorse the principle of reduction we are to the opinion that the present system Is more in touch with popular sentiment Instead of tend ing a deputy for every by chang ing the basis to a deputy for every a wholesome reduction would ha effected every municipality would have at one member at the Council Board and the people would still have a direct voice in he men charged with conducting heir affairs Failing in this method it strikes us rate- payers generally would rather have the county divided into as many districts as there to elect and vote direct for those who are to represent Possibly when the bill goes to the municipal committee Hon Mr Hardy may consent to the Ed option of one or other of the foregoing sug gestions which we favored by many members of the House We take Occasion to again re fer to ibis bill when the full reaches us and give more of its tail- under of XtllZMUvMto alien It by lit A from Audio to to being by firm to
