By direction of the Chairman of the Select Committee of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario " to consider the desirability of bo umendmg the Municipal Act that the number of members in County Councils may be reduced. The following questions are to be circulated among Councils of Counties, Townships, Towns and Incorporated Villagts, ex- Wardens and ex-Reeves and others 1. What is the general feeliua: in your municipality as to a reduction m the number of County Councillors 2. What IS your own opinion 3. Of the following proposals for the reduction of County Councillors which would you (if fayorable to re- duction) prefer («) Doing away with Deputy Reeves, each Municipality having but one representative. (h) Increasing the number of qualifi- ejl voters required for Deputy Reeve, say from 500 to a greater number. (c) Dividing the County into Districts and electing representatives there- from. (d) Giving to each Township a Reeve with a voting power equal to the present representation as regulat ed by ihe Municipal Act â€" or in other words tbe Reeve having as many votes as the Act provides represen- tatives from the Municipality. (e) Haying a Board of say five mem- bers, representiuo^. not particular Dis- tricts, butthe whole CouLty. If favor- able to this plan, what mode of election would you suggest â€" Whether by popular vote or an election by thp various Township Councils at their first meeting, in a somewhat similar manner to the election, by Electoral Division Agricultural Societies, of representatives at the Board of Agri- culture and Arts, (/) The election of County Councils as at present but the appointment by them, at their first meetings, of small Executive Committees to transact thebuEi.:ei8 of the year. 4. If not faviUcible to any of the above proposals, or il you do not con- sider any of tLoia the best that can be given, what plfti: would you suggest? 5. In your opinion, should future legislation (if any) in reference to the foregoing matters, be permissive or compulsory BRIDGES. 1. Keeping in view the inability of Incorporated Villages, in many cases, to construct bridges over one hundred feet in length, is the present law compelling County Councils to erect ami maintain ?uoh bridges, generally satisfactory 2. If in your opinion it is satis- factory, do you think the jurisdiction should be extended to Towns? 3. If to Towns, then should it not extend to Townships 4. Make anv suggestions you think.
