* The standing committee on Finance beg leave to make their

first report as follows : /. i r. ;i

1st. They have carefully examined the accounts ot tiie board
of Examiners for Leeds and Grenville, as per statements hc'rewith
for Dcember and January, 1873, amounting to the sum of $160.32
which your committee recommend to be paid.

2nd. They have also" had before them the account of John
McMullen, for stationery, amounting to the sum of $1 7.46, which
your committee recommend to be paid.

3rd Your committee have also had before tliem a resolution
from the County Council of the County of Elgin, praying the
Ontario Government to pass a ge.ieral act to indemnify the
several Counties' Councils who have been obliged to make alter-
ations or additions to their Gaols since the Act was repealed in
1868, to the extent of one-half of such expense, when incurred at
the instance of the Government.

Your committee would therefore most respecttully recommend
this Council to supplement the efforts making by other Counties
Council, and petition the Lieutenan..,-Governor in Council and
Let'islature for a general measure of relief, and that the Counties
incurring expenditure of the nature referred to, be placed on a par
with those Counties which made alterations prior to 1868.

4th Your committee have had before them the account of
Judge Steele, W. R Bigg and Wm. Statford, amounting to $6.75,
expenses incurred in the appeal of certain inhabitants of Elizabeth-
town at-d Kitley, which they cannot recommend to be paid.

5th. Your committee have also examined the report of the
special committee appointed to procure a site for the intended new
Registry Office in the Town of Prc.^cott in the County of Grenville
and your committee most respectfully recommend that the Council
approve of the site so purchased, and that the sum of seven
hundred dollars be paid to Mrs. Maria S. Boyd for the same, as

per agreement wUh her, so soon as the Counties' Solicitor can pre-
pare the deeds, and is satisfied that Mrs. Boyd can give a good
title.

The standint; committee on Education hea; to make their second
repiu't.

We have before us a statement from D. F. Jones, uf reference
to the grants to tlie Gananocjue High School. After examining
the statutes relating to the amended School Law, we find from
some oversight the High Schools of Ganano<iue, Farmersville and
Kemptvill'j have not rct-eived for 1871 an amount equalling one-
half of the Govennnent Grant, which they were by law entitled
to. We find that Gananoque School is entitled to the sum of one
hundred and twenty-two dollars and thirty cents.

We find that the Farmersville School is entitled to the further
sum of one hundred and eight dollars, and we find that the
Kemptville School is entitled to the further sum f>f fifty dollars,
which sums respectively are reipiired to make the County Grant
equal to one-half of the Government Grant, as required by law.

2. In reference to the special grant made in June last of $300 to
each of the above mentioned Schools, we are of the opinion that,
said grant was made independent and in addition to the County
Grant as required by law.

3. We would also recommend that the By-law passed in
January, 1871, granting $150 to each of the County Grammar
Schools yearly, be repealed.

4. We would recommend the re-appointment of Mr. Bigg, Mr.
Kinney and Mr. Blair, the present County Inspectors, as a Board
of Examiners for teachers. *

5. We, your committee, would, in view of the importance of sus-
taining the High Schools in these Counties, recommend a grant of
three hundred dollars to each of the High Schools for the first
half of the present year, said grant to be in addition to the
County Grant.

All of which is respectfully subinittea.

first report.

They have hi.<l before them a h.ttor from H. S. McDonaUl,
M. P. P., dated 22nd January, 1873, directed to the Clerk of the
Counties' Council, calling the attention of the Counties' Council
to an act introduced by the Government respecting drainage,
which Bill passed its first reading on the 17th January, 1H73.

Your committee would not think it advisable to take any steps
at the present time to carry out the provisions mentioned in the
Municipal Drainage Act, as it appears to us that the Act is
calculated to apply to the various municipalities interested therein,
and not to this Council.

All of which is respectfully submitted.
