"“"m{ repairs, conâ€" siderable papering and paintâ€" ing has been done. All these causes, together with the fact that the average number in the house was somewhat less than usual, have contributed to inâ€" crease the cost per capita.

After the last report had been presented and the Warden‘s desk had been cleared of the business before the Council, County Councilior Robson, of Ayr, arose and in a brief address referred to Warden Walter‘s term during which the sessions had alâ€" ways â€" been most barmonious Under him the many county interests had been carefully and impartially looked aftér, the sessions had been free from wrangling and friendly discussâ€" ions had characterized the meetings The speaker was particalarly touched with the attitude of the Warden toâ€" ward the charitable institutions in the sounty, as he has a‘ways taken a deep interest in the hospitals, orphanages, House of Refuge, etc., and saw to it that nothing was wanting to make these institutions comfortable and upâ€" to date. It gave him pleasure to move a vote of appreciation of the services rendered by the Warden to the County during 1901. _ _ Councilior W. R.Plum, of New Ham busg, the orator of the Council, secondâ€" ed the motion, in one of the most eloquent addresses delivered in the Council Chamber in recent years. He referred with pride to the fact that while other counties take from one to two weeks to do the business before them this Council seldom exceed two days, and at the most three days. He gave the credit to the unusual business abilities of the representatives that are chosen by the electors. In eloquent terms he epoke of the long term of service rendered to the County by the g:eunt Warden, who has been a memâ€". r of the Council continuously since 1866, and a more capable and painsâ€" taking CouneAl?l has never been in the Council. m presiding officer Mr. Walter has been fair and impartial and has won not only the friendship and esteem of the Councillors but also of the electors «[ che municipality. The motion was carried enthusiâ€" astically by the membors rising and loudly applavding. Warden Wa.ter tendered his thanks for the kind expressions from the memâ€" bers of the Council and said it was an extreime pleasure to presile over a body such as the Council of 1901. The uuatinity was remarkable. He reâ€" ferred to the past year as one out of the ordinary in that two members of the Council had been taken off without a inoments notice, men whose places would be difficult to fill. The Warden then took a reminiscent vein and spoke of the progress of the various institutions during hbis thirtyâ€" six years as a county councillor, and toâ€"day they canjastly claim the most modern institations in the province. This year‘s council had been both proâ€" gressive and economical, and be boped the same spirit would characterize the see«ions of the council next vear. He thanked the couacil and wished them the compliments of the season. The address was happily received, after which the council arose and led by Councilior Josiah Haliman, all sang the National Antbem, and the session for 1901 was brought to a close by three rousing cheers. The Finance Commitee was in sos sion until 3.50 p.m. on Friday, after which the council resumed, and the various reports were read and adopted The byâ€"law anpointing Messrs. J. M. Seully, of Waterl30, and A. Waerner, of Etmira, auditos, was read and finally passed.
