Council went into Committeeof the Whole on the report â€" ^Mr. Agnew in the chair. Dr. Chhstoe asked the chairman of tke Education Committee to show by what au- thority $5 per day was charged, or to be paid.. Mr. Bead said the committee had care ful- ly considered the report, and from examin- ing the statutes had come to the conclusion that Inspectors were entitled to 95 per day according to law. Dr. Christoe contended that according to the High School Act Mr. Gordon, was a Town Lispector, and if so, he could not claim a sixpence fiom the Council. It was very strange that he should be paid $5 and Mr. DeLaMatter only S3. Mr. Bead answered that Town Inspectors were entitled to $5 per day according to law, and it was strange that it should be less, if the School was in connection with the County. The committee had also made a calculation in respect to the time charged, and considering the number of cuididates examined, and tbe number of questions to ha looked iuto„-had otrnte toi,thec|n4^nsio that' the time was I^ no means excessive. Tue Warden referred to the very extensive ezlperience of Mr. Gordon in municipal law, and said he would not put in a charge that he was not fairly entitled to. Several other Councillors referred to ^he matter, after which, on motion of Dr. Chris- toe, seconded by^Mr. Frost, the report was amended by inserting $3 per day instead of $5â€" the balance, if on ent^uiry found correct., to be paid in the June session ' The report as amended was adopted.

In regard to the visits of School Inspeotenir as these â- ..- vtBEft paid for by the Oovecnmeot, the eom- mittee thought that the extra allowanoe ot f 135 to each Inspector by the Coancil waa^ both unrMspnable and indefensible, and r». commended that it dease at once.

In speaking of his motion, the Beeve ' of Meaford gaye a moat cordial invitation to the Council to hold the June session there, and referred in glowing terms to the hospi- tality of the pfBople of Meaford, and the pleasure it wouldigive them, to have such a- body of intelligent men visit them.
