 The special committee api^ointod under By-law No. 370, and 
 dated 23d June, 1871, to superintend certain alterations to the Gaol 
 and to build a new Registry Office, beg leave to present this their 
 third report. 
 
 ALTERATIONS TO THE GAOL. 
 
 Your committee beg to report that the contractor has now com- 
 pleted the work on tiie building, uith the exception of the board 
 fence to be erected, outside the Gaol yard, which he will have done 
 in the course of the present week. 
 
 The unusually severe winter entailed upon the contractor much 
 extra expense in warming the room to plaster the walls and 
 ceilln<'-s, delaying the work somewhat longer than was anticipated. 
 
 The amount paid to the contractor during the execution of the 
 work has been $5000, leaving a balance due to hira of $500 upon 
 the contract price. 
 
 The contractor also claims payment of the sum of 8320 for alter- 
 ations and additions to the work, principally arising from errors in 
 the plan, and partly from necessitous work in the connection of ihe 
 new wing with the main building not ])rovided for in the specific- 
 ation. This amount of $320 your committee recommend should be 
 
 paid. 
 
 The committee beg leavi to bear testimony to the very substantial 
 and workmanlike manner in which Mr. John Gordon has executed 
 the work.

 The standinn committee on Finance bei' leave to make this their

 1st. They have had before them the petition of E. Joblin, claim- 
 ing pay for nine days' services for overseeing the building of 
 the Registry OlKce; your committee could not recommend the pay- 
 ment oV sai<l claim, is the petitioner did not furnish a certificate 
 troiu building committee that such services were rendered. 
 
 2n(l. They have had before them an abstract statement from the 
 County Treasurer of the receipts and expenses of the Counties up 
 to 1st June, inst. :

 3rd. They have also had before them a letter from J. L. Schofield, 
 Esq., County Treasurer, in reference to his late illness, and of his 
 trip to the Old Country for the benefit of his health (by leave of 
 His Honor the Warden and some of the Councillors,) and also a 
 caution to the Council as to making large grants of money, the 
 balance on hand being very small. 
 
 4th. They have also had before them a letter from the Treasurer 
 relating to the sinking fund, which has heietofore been deposited 
 in the savings bank bearing interest at the rate of five per cent. 
 
 The law having been changed governing that in.stitution, will 
 not allow them to receive in deposit from any one source a larger 
 amount thar $1000, in consequence thereof the sum of $2000 has 
 been deposited in the Bank of Montreal, drawing interest at four
