cannot hope for very'satisfactory results.
I am not hopeful that agl'icultllre in Public School~ will,be a
success, considering that 68 of the teachers ar0 young ladies with no
practical knowledge of the subject.
It a three or six montas, school of Agricultul'e could b:- maintained
in the County where the principles of agricult.ure would be discuss~d by
practical and competent men, far better results would be obtained.
Allow me to call your attention to~theaccompanying Acts relating

Report High Constable re Handcuffs.
St. Thomas, 2,7th January, 189I.
To the Warddll and 'Members of the County Council.
GENTLEMEN,-:Jn compliance wil'h a resolution passed by YOUl'
hono:able ,body Some time 'agp, in reference to the Cpunty 'Constables
who haye handcuffs in their possession, and the partiesactillg who have
none. 1 sent out a circular to each of the Constables froll~a list
which I have received from your clerk, and I have only received very,
few replIes fl'om them, SOme of the replies show me how very careless
they, are in 'regard to the handcuff's placed :'in theirpossess,ion,by
handing them to others and getting them -frOliil parties not' constables.
Ilhave received six pairs of handcuff':'! from different constable;;;; and
some of them were as rusty,as an old horse shoe, this shows you' how
they are taken' care"of, if they were their own, the chances are, lhey
_would be better taken care of. I would suggest that the whole of the
band cuff's m. the possession ot constables and others be called. ih. and
each constable who \V,ants a pair that he be made to payfo! thturi,when
he receives them and when returned to the County again he receives
his money back, that a book should be kept with the names of those
that have paid fot' their ha:ndcuff.'), and credit them with them ,when
returned, they have just as gqod a right ,to furnish their own handcuffs
as a mechanic would his tools if he was going to do a good job of work
By having some pE\tSOll to look after the handcuffs a.nd making those
that have them pay for them the COUllty would save money in the
transaction, but-you would :have to pay him for sodoing.now for the
70
BLGIN COUNTY COUNCIL PROCEEDING:;,
position thatul hold as High Cons liable for the County of Elgin I s!lOuld
have some remuneration more than a constable, as I b.ave to take
charge of the constables at the several courts, to see t11at proper order
is observed and to keep the time of attendance at court for the Sheriff
in order that they get thefr.pay. 'l'here is no reason why I should,not
be.'tnlated as High Constables in ether counties, who receive from one
hundl'ed and fifty dollars to four hundred dollars per year. !fyau will
attach a salary to my office, which will give me a re'asonable recompens~
for the taking charge of the handcuffs and keeping them in repair I am
satisfied the. County would save money. '

ELGIN <JOUNTY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
We submi, tha, this sbould not be considered entiroly from a
financial point of view, but that the future welfare Qf the children
alone, to say nothing of the sep.uation of the sexes, would warrant
the erection of the l.Jl'oposed addition.
3. With reference to account. presented by Mr. Luton, wa recom-
mend that no action be tak~n.
All of which is submit,ed.

W~have 'considered the advisability of providing separate accoUl-

f:tQm tbeinstitutlOll byresiden~8 of the County. We fiJid that in the
adjoining County ofMidd;esex, the difficulty presented . in the Elgin
institution doesFlot exist, thediffl;lrence being that parties taking out
l~hIldren, are. not required to enter into bonds. as provided in by.law
N_o; 276,.. and we would recommend -that the section of the by-law
,referring to binding out children beamencled aq::ordingly. It this is
done we believ~ there will be no difficulty in procuring suitable hom('~
for all the children.
