Ingersoll, Dec. 9.â€"The school teachâ€" ers are indignant at the action of the Board of Education in reducing the salary of Principal McDiarmid of the Central school from $1,000 to $800, and public opinion is also at a high pitch. If the $200 taken off Mr. Mcâ€" Diarmid‘s salatry is to be divided amâ€" ongst the assistants, it is generally understood that they will not accept‘ an increase in their galaries, i The year 1905 is certainly one of the most prosperous year ever â€" enâ€" joyed by the people of Canada. Owâ€" ing to the magnificent crops in every province, and the general activity in business, the confidence of the finanâ€" cial world has become firmly estabâ€" lisbed in the future of this country. The prosperity of a country, like that of an individual, must necessarily deâ€" pend to a certain extent upon the prosperity of their neighbors. Canâ€" ada, however, is particularly favored in this respect, as it is less dependent for supplies from its neighbors than most countries. Outside of tropical products, Canada hbas within itself nearly all the necessaries and luxurâ€" ies of life. The Dominion is the recâ€" ognized granary of the Empire. No couptry ‘on earth is richer in minerâ€" als, As a beef exporting country it has few equals and according to its pupulation, no superiors; it has alâ€" most unlimited timber and pulpwood supplies; it is already manufacturing large per centage of the sugar reâ€" ’uired for home consumption; . its , Uairy products, of which it is a heavy exporter, are second to none. Canada is a strong rival of Denmark and othâ€" er countries for the bacon markets of Europe, and the best of all is that Canada‘s sons and daughters are inâ€" tellectually and ‘ physically able to compete with any nation or‘ race under the sun, and prove themselves superior to the most of them.

There is an old theory that therc must be a season of financial dopresâ€" sion about every seven years.

That the retirement of Hon. Wim.

More strenuous efforts should be put forâ€" ward to nationalise the telephone sysâ€" tems of Canagia. 2. That whereas certain municipalâ€" ities in our County aresupporting indigent â€" consumptives, â€" I would strongly recommend that a sanitarâ€" ium for indigent consumptives be esâ€" tablished in the County so that the County may share in the provincial grant for such institutions. The final session of the County Council for this year opened shortly after 10 o‘clock a. m. Thursday at the Court House.

To the Members of Waterloo County Council, Gentlemen,â€"Since the last meeting of our Council several matters of inâ€" terest relating to this County have come up, and I submit the following for your consideration: 1. The Good Roads movement in this County:can be furthered by this Council passing a resolution that the County Council will not raise debenâ€" tures for;the building or maintenance of a County road system:, and that the work on such roads, designed as County roads, shall be under the conâ€" trol of the Township Councils and unâ€" der the supervision of the County Councillor representing the Township inâ€" which the work is performed. Warden DeBus Presents his Address Outlining the Business and a Large Number of Communications Presented. WATERLOO COUNTY COUNCIL IN SESSION. The Council went into Finance Comâ€" mittee and proceeded to discuss Warâ€" To increase Salaries. A byâ€"law was read the first and second time to amend byâ€"law 471, reâ€" specting the salaries of the Manager and Matron of the House of Industry. It is proposed to give Mr. and | Mrs. Martin a substantial increase. . They are at present receiving $550 and $250 respectively. The resolution was cartied unanimâ€" ously. % Your _ committee would therefore recommend that no further action be taken until after the next session of Parliament, but would wait and see what actien will be taken on the meâ€" morial sent by this Council. Respectfully submitted, J. H. RADFORD, 8. J. CHERRY. Stenographer at Inquests, * __After the communications had been referred to the respective standing committees, Councillior Hibner, seeâ€" onded by Councillior Plum, introdueâ€" ed a resolution authorizing the Clerk to notify the coroner of the county that at all inquests at _ whicn they consider it necessary in public interâ€" est to employ a stenographer, that they are authorized toâ€" notify the court _ stenugrapher to attend, and that the Board of Audit tbe authorizâ€" td to pass such accounts and no othâ€" ers. y Your committee appointed to. conâ€" sider the advisability of erecting â€" a consumptive hospital in conjunction with the counties. of Perth, Brant, report that there were three meetings Oxford, and Wellington beg leave to held in Galt and one at Toronto, at which latter meeting we waited on the Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary, with a view to accertainâ€" ing what amount _ the (Grovernment would allow for the erection of such a sanitarium, and received the assurâ€" ance from the Minister that personâ€" ally he would use his influer® with the Government to give us $8,000,â€"as well as the $1.50 per week per patient as provided for by the statutes for maintenance. | â€"*‘No doubt your treasurer is honâ€" est, but what are we to learn from the frequency with which treasurers in municipalities are found °â€" to be ‘short‘ in their accounts? I believe ; the reason for such.a state of affairs is not in the majority of cases a disâ€" honest municipal treasurer, but a lack of system in account keeping. In such a case the moral responsibility rests on those who have the appointment lol‘ the auditors. A yearly examinaâ€" tion by a competent person would have prevented such mistakes. For this reason the employment of an expert auditor is welcomed by every honest treasurer. In view of these circumstancées I think you will agree with me that the time is not far disâ€" tant when every municipality â€" will employ at least one expert auditor. The committee on the establishment of a consumptive sanitarium in the county reported as follows :â€" | Gentlemen :â€" 6‘ anvexpert auditor. A part of his communication reads as follows From the Canadian Independent Telephone Association with a report of the organization meeting held in Toronto in September, along with a copy of the Constitution.

Hospital _ be amended by striking out the word ‘‘paying‘‘ and that this rule shall immediately take effect and be emâ€" bodied in the Rules and Regulations of the Hospital. trary to law and the Board of Audit disallowed all these claims in cases where the Magistrate had power to impose a fine and costs, which includâ€" ed all cases of vagrancy, drunkenness, disorderly conduct, breaches of â€" muâ€" nicipal byâ€"laws and other like offenâ€" ces, leaving nothing to be paid _ for by the County excepting in cases of indictable criminal offences and lunâ€" acy. This Board of Audit was the first in the province to properly inâ€" terpret . the aboveâ€"statute, and their action was approved by the Deputy Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario. Although the quarter ending _ on 30th September last was probably the smallest in amount of claims for audit in the history of the County, still the constables had twentyâ€"two claims for costs in vagrancy cases. It would be advisable for magistrates to act upon the instructions of the Government of Ontario and send evâ€" ery vagrant to the Central Prison for six months, and not send them Ber 0. wWi Chronicleâ€"Telegraph Thursday Dec. 14, 1905â€"Page 2 WATERLOO, ONT. _ Oper Sunjays.

FISCEER, Froprietor WATEBRLOO MUTUAl THE CQOUNTRY CENTIEMEN The future of Canada will be the future of Winnipeg in a very marked degree, as Canada must chiefly depend | for all time on the wealth produced from the farm. It is on the Jarm the forest and the mines that all other | industries live. If unnatural indusâ€" | tries are forced on the country whose |â€" output cannot‘be produced as cheaply here as elsewhere, the whole extra cost is taxed on the above sources of all our wealth. We succeed pretty well in skinning the farmer. But so‘ y long as there is such a rapid hnlor‘ ment of farming aÂ¥@ mining as is [ going on, the country can endure it, | however mistakenly. _ All our cities| q; are dependent chiefly on this farming expansion,‘ but Winnipeg most directâ€" ly so, and allowing for speculative ups and downs, its prosperity is a gauge of that of the country. We are not likely for a long time to come to have any great falling off to chronâ€" icle in grain productioo in Western Canada, but a high average of proâ€" duction can never be guaranteed, owâ€" ing ~to ~the â€"uncertainties of ~the ~cliâ€" | ~ mate. The Canadian climate is not unique in being uncertain. The FEngâ€" lish farming communities also have their restless and anxious nights, and are no more exempt from a nipping Ilrost or a plant discase than the peoâ€" ‘ ple of this:country. There is, indeed, | a great element of risk in most farmâ€" ingcountries. The past year has been a wonderful one for the farmer throughout the entire land, which was largely the result of the benefiâ€" cence of Providence in the distribuâ€" tion of admirablyâ€"suited weather at the different periods of growth. The record of Canadian grain cultivation| has shown‘ good and bad years, and| ~ this must always be expected, alâ€" though the increase in the actual acreage will have a tendency to balâ€" ance any falling off that might be inâ€" curred. ht inforlid AuviatitoiABoce on msld hA dn td MB i is 22 in the recent past it flowed to the landlords. Winnipeg is just now having such an cbb tide in real estate as comes to cities which bound forward by rap id leaps. 1t is interesting to hear that the speculation in real estate in that city has now ceased altogethâ€" er. It is said that hundreds of houses are now awaiting tenants, and that houscholders are looking upon the reâ€" verseside of the picture of a few months ago. Rents in that city have dropped, in some cases, nearly fifty per cent, making living, of course, much more reasonable than before. The Montreal citizen is still in . the bonds of the landlord, as he is of those of the builder, but tenants may take courage from the present conâ€" ditions in Winnipegâ€"a city that is growing infinitely faster than Monâ€" treal.
