THE MUNICIPAL LOAN FUND OF UPPER CANADA.

The Upper Canada Municipal Loan Fund, to consist of all moneys directed to form part thereof, was established by the ICtli Vict., cap. 22, passed on the 10th November, 1852. Unlimited powers of borrowing on the credit of the said fund, subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, were by the same Act conferred upon the Upper Canada Municipalities to enable them to eflfect certain public improvements, and these powers continued until the passing of the Act 18 Vict., chap. 13, on the 18th December, 1854, by which the Fund itself was limited to £1,500,000 sterling, together with such further sums as constitute the Sinking Fund thereof, and the extent to which a Muni- cipality miglit liorrow was thereby limited to 20 per cent, on the aggregate valuation of property in the said Municipality, according to the then last assessment roll thereof ; and by the 22nd Vict., chap. 15, passed on the 4th May, 1859, no further loans to Upper Canada Municipalities could be made on the credit of the Fund, except under By-laws sanctioned by the Governor in Council prior to the date of that Act.

The moneys which have been directed to constitute the Fund' are :

1. Those paid in by the^Municipalities on account of the principal and interest of their respective loans.

2. By the 20th Vict., chap. 20, passed 20tb June, 1857, it was provided that the share of the Municipalities Fund, accruing to any Municipality certified by the Receiver General to lae in default, or to the several Municipalities in any County while such County is so certified to be in default, may be carried to the credit of such Municipality or County on account of such default. By the 22nd Vict., chap. 15, sec. G, passsed 4th May, 1859, (known as the Compromise Act), it was provided that so long as any sum of money is payaljle to the Receiver General by any Municipality under previous Acts relating to the Loan Fund, he may always retain in his hands any sum of money which would otherwise be payable by him to such Municipality, crediting the same to it in his accounts with it under the said Acts. But by the 22nd Vict., chap. 48, sec. 20, passed also on the 4th May, 1859, (being the Seigniorial Amendment Act of 1859), it was enacted that so long as any Municipality shall at any time be in default in any payment which ought to have been made by it to the said Loan Fund, such Municipality shall have no share in any distribution of the Upper Canada Municipalities Fund, which shall be made while such Municipality is so in default, and the share it would otherwise have had shall go to the other Municipalities.

3. By the Act just cited it was also provided that a sum of money equal to that which under the provisions of the Seigniorial Amendment Act of 1859, will be j)ayable yearly to Seigniors in Lower Canada out of the Provincial Funds, over and above the amount payable to them out of the Fund for the relief of the censitaires under the Seigniorial Act of 1854, shall be payable yearly out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund of this Province to the credit of the Upper Canada Municipal Loan Fund, so long as the Province is under advances to the said Fund.

By the 16th V^ict., chap. 22, the Governor in Council was authorized to direct loans to be made from the Upper Canada Budding Fund to meet the charges on the Loaa Fund from time to time, but this provision was never acted upon.

The payments to be made by the Municipalities were fixed liy tlie 16th Vict., chap. 22, at the yearly rate of 6 per cent, for interest, and 2 per cent, for Sinking Fund on the amount of their respective Loans. By the 20th Vic, chap. 20, it was provided with respect to the cases of Municipalities in default, that as it might be inexpedient to press the collection of the whole sum due, the Governor might issue his warrant to the Sheriff directing what rate that officer should lo-y, providing that such rate sliould not be less than I2k cents on the dollar of the yearly value of the assessed property of such Muni- cipalities. But another and final change was made by the passing on the 4th May, 1859, of the 22nd Vict., chap. 15, and as this Act imposes various duties and obligations upon the Municipalities interested and their officers, as well as prescribes the amount to be-

35 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8). A. 1871-2

paid, and the time and manner of payment, it is necessary that its leading provisions should be briefly stated. It provides

1. That instead of the payments which each Municipality was bound to make under previous Acts, a sum equal to five cents in the dollar on the assessed yearly value, or a like per centage on the interest at six per cent, per annum on the jissessed value, of all the assessable property in every Municipality which had raised money by Delieutures on the credit of the Municipal Loan Fund, should be paid by such Municipality to the Receiver Gener.al, on or before the first day of December, 1859, and every year there- after, until the total amount in principal and interest, payable by reason of its loan, should be paid and satisfied, or a smaller sum should be sufficient to satisfy the same in any year, in which case such smaller sum only should be so paid.

2. But the sum to be so paid by a Municipality should never be less than the same per centage on the Assessment Rolls for the year 1858 for the same I^Iunicijiality would have produced, and in case of diminished value from that standard the rate was to be pro- portionately increased, and was to be imposed on any increased assessed value over that of the year stated.

By 29-30 Vict-, chap. 53, sec. 12, and 32 Vict., chap. 36, sec. 12, for the rate of five cents in the dollar on the assessed yearly value, and on six per cent, for the annual assessed actual value, as provided in 22 Vict, chap. 15, was substituted a rate of not less than oi^e-third of a cent in the dollar upon the actual value of all rateable proj)erty in all Municipalities in Upper Canada indebted to the Upper Canada Municii>al Loan Fund, unless a smaller rate would produce eight per cent, upon the capital of the loan; but it was provided that if the rate of one-third of a cent in the dollar on the actual value of the property should produce a less sum than five cents in the dollar on the annual value thereof in 1858, such a rate should be levied as would produce, a sum equal to that produced by a rate of five cents in the dollar on the Assessment liolls of the year 1858.

Since 1859 only five per cent, interest has been charged on the princijjal of each loan, the Government in that year having consolidated and assumed the entire indebted- ness of the Municipalities created under the Municipal Loan Fund, and is.sued therefor 5 per cent. Provincial bonds, which were accepted at par by the holders of the Muni- cipal Loan Fund debentures, which were given up and cancelled. Therefore, as the Government paid only 5 per cent., it has charged the Municipalities only 5 per cent, which would make the interest and sinking fund 7 per cent, per annum instead of 8 per cent

3. The sum so to be paid was to be the first charge upon all the funds of a ISliinici- pality, and any Treasurer or other officer of a MunicipaUty who should, after the 1st December, 1859, pay any sum whatever out of any funds of the Municipality in his hands until the sum due to the Receiver General was paid, should be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor, and be liable for every sum so paid as for money received by liim for the Crown.

4. If the sum aforesaid was not paid, the Municipality was to be held to be in default, r.r>d to be liable to be dealt with in the manner provided by previous Acts with regard Municipalities in default.

5. To ensure the collection of the sum aforesaid, a special rate upon all the assess- able property in every Municip.ality which had raised money by Debentures on tlic credit of the Municipal Loan Fund of five cents in the dollar upon the yearly value, and a like per centage on the interest at the rate of six per cent, on the assessed value, was imposed in the year 1859, and a like rate in each year thereafter, until the entire debt and inte- rest should be paid off, or a lower rate substituted by Order in Council, in cases where such lower rate would be sufficient to pay the interest and Sinking Fimd. Such rate to be entered on the Collector's rolls and collected and paid to the Treasurer as ordinary rates, whether any other rate was or was not imposed, and the proceeds of such rate were to be applied by the Trea.surer exclusively towards the p.ayment of the sum p.'ivable by the Municipality to the Receiver General in each year ; and it was further provided that any treasurer, collector or other Municipal officer, or functionary, or any memlier of the Muni- cipal Council, wilfully neglecting or refusing to perform or concur in performing any oflicial act requisite for the collection of the said rate, or misapplying, or being a party to the

2

35 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8). A. 1871-2

misapplication of any portion of tlie (iroceeds thereof should be held guilty of a mis- demeanor, and with his sureties should he personally liable for any sum which, by reason of such neglect, misconduct, refusal or misapplication, should not, at the time fixed, be paid to the Receiver General, as fur moneys received by such member, treasurer, collector, vr other Municipal officer or functionary for the Crown.

6. All sums of money coming to a Municipality as the profits, dividends or returns from any work for which a loan had been authorized, or as interest or principal of any sum lent by the Muuicijiality out of such loan, or otherwise howsoever by reason of such loan, was to be paid into the hands of the Treasurer and be by him carefully kept apart from all other moneys, and paid over from time to time to the Receiver General, to be

by him placed to the credit of the Mnnicipality with the Consolidated Muuicii)al Loan Fund, except in so far as was otherwise especially provided in the By-law authorizing such loan.

7. After any Municipality had borrowed any money on the credit of the Municipal Loan Fund, it was not to contract any further debt without the consent and approval of the Governor in Council, until all debts to the Fund had been wholly paid off.

8. So long as any sum of money was payable to the Receiver General by any Muni- cipality on Loan Fund Account, he might ahvays retain in his hands any sum of money which would otherwise have been payable by him to such Municipality, crediting the same to it in his accounts.

9. By the Legislation of 1859, respecting the Municipal Loan Fund and the Seigniorial tenure, it was designed by means of the Municipalities Fund, (Clergy Reserve Jloneys), to compensate those Municipalitii'S vvliich had nut borrowed under this Fund, or having borrowed kept their interest and sinking fund paid up in full ; and to a certain extent this has been accomplished. Prior to the year 1860 there had, fiom this Fund, been distributed among the Municipalities in Upper Canada $2,024,425.32. In the distri-' bution, up to this period, all the Municipalities participated alike, whether in default in their payments under their Loan Fund indebtedness or not. Since 1859 any Munici- pality in default has been deprived of the share it wui Id otherwise have been entitled to, in the Clergy Re.serve Moneys, and the same has been merged in the General Fund and thereby increased the share falling to each Mnnicipality which had not borrowed under the Loan Fund, or having borrowed, was not in default. Since 1859 there has been up to this date distributed §1,737,522.47 ; and the moneys taken from the defaulting Municipalities and paid over to tiie n<in-borrowing and non-defaulting ]\Iunicipalities amount to $157,976. To this extent the latter Municipalities have been compensated for contributions by general taxation towards the interest paid by the General Govern- ment out of the Public E.xchequer on the several loans of the Municipalities in default. The fund >et to be collected and distributed is estimated at $1,000,000, and the share of this which will be withheld from the Municipalities indebted under the Loan Fund by reason of their default, and which will be merged in the General Fund and paid over to the other Municipalities will be about $100,000 further compensation to these latter Municipalities. This is the extent to which it was intended to compensate the other Municipalities by what was then and has since been regarded as the final legislation on this subject in 1859. Full compensation it certainly is not ; and it is difficult to see how full or even partial compensation other than that provided by the Legislation of 1859 can be given. Tliere are twenty-six Municipalities which have nothing to the credit of their sinking fund .nd whose interest is largely in arrear. These borrowed in the aggre- gate .$5,925,400. The arrears of interest on the principal on the first day of January, 1871, amounted to $5,007,491.43. The proposition to forgive these Municipalities the greater part of their indebtedness, and then to make an equivalent or compensating grant to the remaining Municipalities, would involve a charge on the treasury of not less than $100,000,000 ! No suggestions as to how the indebtedness under the Loan Fund shall be dealt with are offered. These observations are thrown out for the purpose of inducing study and thought on a most important subject.

10. The following tables will explain themselves. Following the tables is each Muni- cipality, taken alphabetically, and a short history is given of its loan with a brief state- ment of the leading facts connected with the Loan and the Municipality.

THE TOWN OF BEANTFOED.

This town effected two loans under the Municipal Loan Fund Act. The first in 1853 ($100,000) was invested in the stock of the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Eailway Company, now the Buffalo and Lake Huron Eailway Company. The stock proved to be "Utterly worthless, and was finally extinguislied on the re-organization of the former Com- pany, under the name of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Eailway Company. Of the second loan, effected in 1854, for $400,000, $360,000 were advanced to the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Eailway Company, on the security of its bonds the Balance being left in the hands of the Eeceiver General to apply on account of the interest and sinking fund on the loan. Up to July, 1856, the town kept up the payment of its interest on the full sum of $500,000. In July, 1859, the interest had fallen into arrear some $37,000. From that period, availing itself of the Act 22 Vic, cap. 15, the town has reduced its payment on account of these loans to the annual sum of $9,229.70, being at the rate of five cents in the dollar, on the assessment of 1858, no subsequent assessment exceeding tliat of that year. The following is a return which has been rendered, in reply to letters addressed to ,the piayor and treasurer of the town, calling for a statement shewing what bonds or other

Tlie total loans were §500,000 ; the total paj-meuts are $228,613.57 ; the arrears of interest are $313,319.64. The .annual value of the assessment for 1871 is $137,194 ; that of 1858, $184,594. At 7 per cent, on loan for interest and sinking fund, the annual pay- ment would be $35,000. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 (being greater than that of 1871), makes the annual payment $9,229.70, which the town has punctuallj paid since the Relief Act of 1859.

TOWN OF BROCKVILLE.

In 1854 this town borrowed #97,333.33, under the Municipal Loan Fuud, on which, assisted by the Brockville and Ottawa Railway Company, it kept up the payment of interest until July, 185G, when the loan was increased to $400,000, the whole being advanced to the Railway Company, and secured by a first mortgage, held jointly with the united counties of Lanark and Renfrew, and the township of Elizabethtown, on the- railway. From this period the town fell rapidly into arrear, until, in June, 1859, it had- aocumulated a debt, for interest and contingency, of upwards of $G9,000.

It appears that, in accordance with the requirements of the Government of the late Province of Canada, the town deposited $40,000 of its debentures in the Bank of Upper Canada, to assist in making up the payment of five cents in the dollar. These debentures are not in the charge of the Government of Ontario.

The Treasurer of the town states in reply to an enquiry addressed to him, that the- town of Brockville has no other security but the mortgage above mentioned. The mort- gagors have failed to fulfil the covenants of the mortgage for the repayment of the prin- cipal and interest, and the municipalities interested have not enforced their claims.

As has been stated, the total loan is $400,000. The total payments are $47,304.08. The annual value of the assessed property in 1858 was $103,180.57; that of 1871, $74,280. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 produces $5,159.53. The annual payment for five per cent, interest and two per cent sinking fund would be $28,000. The total arrears of interest are $389,628.27. The following is a detail«d statement of he rate of taxation for the years 1862-3-4, and 1869-70-71 :

THE TOWN OF BAERIE.

In May, 185.5, Barrie borrowed the sum of $12,000, which was expended in local improvements. The indebtedness of the town to the Municipal Loan Fund is unchanged. It has no sinking fund to its credit, but is not in arrcar with its interest. Five cents on the dollar on the a.ssessment of 1858 would jiroduce $876, more than 5 per cent interest, and 2 per cent, sinking fund on loan. But hitherto the town has only paid the interest on the capital. The total payments made by Barrie amount to $10,520.60.

THE COUNTY OF BRUCE.

In 1853 the United Counties of Huron and Bruce obtained a loan under tlie Muni- cipal Loau Fund of $500,000, wliich was invested in the stock of the Bufialo, Brantford and Goderich Railway Company. In 1854 a further sum of S8,000 was borrowed for local improvements. Considerable sums were paid in from time to time by these United Counties in excess of their interest, until the period of their separation in 1867.

On the 1st July in that year there stood at credit of their Joint Sinking Fund the sum of $139,787.04. This amount was then divided, and §114,325.05 was the portion allotted to Huron and $24,961.99 to Bruce. The loan was also divided, $253,000 being charged to Huron and $55,000 to Bruce.

Smce the separation and division Bruce has paid nothing, and its Sinking Fund being charged semi-annually with the amount due on interest account has been reduced to $20,132.98. The stock of the Company proved worthless, and was wiped out by the Act incorporating the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway Company, the successors of the old Company.

The principal of the debt as above stated is $55,000, and there is $20,132.98 to the credi of the Sinking Fund. Bruce should pay annually for interest and Sinking Fund at five per cent, interest and two per cent. Sinking Fund $3,850. Five cents in the dollar on the annual value of the assessment of 1871 would much more than do this.

THE TOWN OF COBOURG.

This town in 1853 obtained a loan under the Municipal Loan Fund of $300,000, which was increased in 1854 to $400,000, and in 1855 to $500,000. The whole was .appropriated to the construction of the Cobourg and Peterboro Railway.

On the 1st July, 1861, the arrears of interest and contingency had accumulated to $193,831.43.

The following brief summary of the prospects of the tovni in regard to its investment in the Cobourg and Peterboro Railway may be made :

After the road was constructed a rival line was built by the extension of the Port Hope, Lindsay and Beaverton Railway, from Millbrooke^to Peterboro. The means for defraying the cost of this branch were mainly supplied through the JIunicipal Loan Fund, notwithstanding the strong representations made by the people of Cobourg as to the ruinous consequences of this work upon their own investment. The Cobourg and Peterboro Railway has not been run for tlie last eleven or twelve years. Its affairs have long been in Chancery. The Rice Lake Bridge is a perfect ruin. The rolling stock and iron have been removed ; and the town has not derived, and is not likely to derive, any revenue whatever from its investment.

Mr. Brodie, the treasurer, says : " The Town Council assessed for two years one shilling in the pound on the assessed value of 1858, and remitted the same to the Receiver General, but after the rival road was built, which cut off the Peterboro trade, .and after the destruction of Rice Lake Bri ige, the Corporation was unable to continae 4;he assessment."

With regard to securit}' the treasurer adds : " The only bond or security the Cor- poration liolds is deferred stock in the C. P. and Marmora Railway and Mining Com- pany to the extent of $120,000, the value of which we cannot estimate at present. It seems to us valueless. It gives our Mayor a seat at the Railway Board, and that seems- its only value."

The total loans, as has been stated, amount to $500,000. The total pajTuents to $61,898.93. The arrears of interest are $588,387.39. The annnal value of the assess- ment for 1871, $86,489 ; that for 1858, $135,225. The annual payment for interest at five per cent, and sinking fund at two per cent, would be $35,000. The annual payment of five cents in the dollar on the assessment for 1858 would be $6,761.30.

THE VILLAGE OF CHIPPAWA.

In June, 1853, Cliippawa borrowed the sum of $26,000, $20,000 of which was in- vested in the Eric and Ontario Railway Company, and became an entire loss. The balance, $6,000, was expended on the " Chippawa Cut," which unites the Niagara and Welland rivers.

For four and a half years from June, 1853, to January, 1858, the interest on the whole loan was kept paid up. The village then fell into arrear, but with the a.ssistance of a portion of the tnlls levied on the " Chippawa Cut," and authorizecl by Order in Council, dated 10ti> June. 1859, to be paid over to tiie Municipality (Public Acts, 1860, part 1, page 188), it made its payments of five cents in the dollar for the years from 1859 to 1866 inclusive. The allowance to the village taken out of the canal tolls commenced in 1859, and appears to have been discontinued in 1865, (the last entry traceable being in the Public Accounts of 1865, part 1, page 178), and the payment of five cents in the dollar ceased with the year 1866. Only one later payment having bean made of $635 in June, 1868.

TOWNSHIP OF CANBORO.

This township borrowed in 1853 $8,000, which it invested in the stock of the Buf falo, Brantford and Goderich Railway Company.

The actual assessed value of its property in 1858 was $218,256 ; its annual value $13,095.36, five cents in the dollar on which would produce $654.76 more than enough to pay interest at five per cent., and sinking fund at two per cent, on loan, which would be $560. Its assessment in 1871 had increased to $238,946 actual value, and $13,976.76 annual value. Its total payments amount to $9,659.96, and it has to the credit of its sinking fund $3,941.47.

THE TOWN OF CHATHAJI.

In June, 1855, Chatham borrowed $100,000 under the Municipal Loan Fund, which, according to the provisions of the By-law, was to be applied to the payment of stock in the St. Clair and Rondeau Plank Eoad and the Chatham and Camden Plank Road Companies, to the macadamizing of roads and drainage of the Town and the construction of Gas and Water Works. The latter have not been constructed.

It appears that none of the investments made have produced anv revenue, 5vith the exception of the St. Clair and Rondeau Plank Road Company, which sometimes paid a dividend of between two and three per cent, and Mr. Weir, the Treasurer, in a letter of the 6th July, 1871, states " that the whole revenues derived from the plank roads up to 1864 amounted to $5,087.65, which were applied to general town purposes. Since 1864 no diviaends have been paid, the roads taking all the revenues to keep them in repair."

For two years previous to June, 1857, the town kept up the payment of its interest. h or the two following years its payments consisted simply of its crecUts, ex-Cler^y Reserves amounting to $1,400.36. In December, 1859, the town commenced toVy on the reduced scale of five cents on the doUar (§4,001.23), which it continued, with the excep- tion of the year 1861, to the 1st January, 1869 ; since which it has paid nothing. The total loan, as has been stated, was $100,000. The total pajTnents §50,234 06 The arrears of interest are §47,009.36. The annual value of the assessed property for 1871 is ?59,733. That for 1858, $80,014. The annual payment of 5 per cent, interest, and 2 per cent Sinking Fund would be $7,000. Five cents in the doUar on the assessment of 1858 would produce $4,001.23. 187l'^^*^ foUo«^ng is a detailed statement of payments, with dates to the 1st January,,

THE TOWN OF DUNDAS.

In reply to a conimunication addressed to the treasurer of tlie town calling for a return shewing the application of the loan of $52,000, borrowed under the Municipal Loan Fund, and a statement of any moneys received or securities held on account of such loan, tlie following report has been sent in by t!ie treasurer :

" The money received by the Corporation of the Town of Dundas, from the Muni- cipal Loan Fund, was so received on or about January Istj 1856, and was paid over en- tirely by tlie Corporation of the Town of Dundas to the Desjardius Caual Company, under tiie authority of 16 Vict., chap. 54.

" Such money was expended by the Desjardins Canal Company in assisting the Great Westein Kailway Conijiany in the construction of their railway, by altering the course of the Desjardins Canal and making the cut at Burlington Heights.

" The result of such expenditure has been a financial loss to the Desjardins Canal Company.

The Corjinration of the Town of Dundas, as a security for such loan, took a mortgage oa the works and property of said Desjardins Canal Company, and nothing has been received by the Crown or the Corporation on account of such mortgage security, except the payment to the Government of over six thousand two hundred dollars for interest on said loan.

"Nothing further is likely to be received from such security ; on the contrary, the Corporation of the Town of Dundas is now in advance to the Desjardins Caual Com- jiany, for the puipose of keeping the canal open, in the sum of twenty-three thousand dollars, and further expenditure is now being made on that account."

The loan, ;is has been stated, was $52,000. The total payments to date are $8,078.40. Its assessable property in 1858 Wiis §85,722.72 annual value. In 1871 the actual assessable value was $667,779, its annual value §40,066.74. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 would produce §4,286.13, more than enough to pay 5 per cent, interest and 2 per cent, sinking fund on the loan. But it will be observed that the rateable \alue of the property in the town has diminished over one-half. The total arrears now amount to $4'J,131.54.

COUNTY OF ELGIN.

In 1854 this County borrowed under the Municipal Loan Fund $80,000, and in" Tested the same in the London and Port Stanley Eaihvay. The investment, in so far as can be ascertained, has proved entirely unremuiierative. The total payments to January, 1871, amount to $107,025.86, and it has to credit of its sinking fund $54,96.3.54. The assessed value of its property in 1858, §5,378,588 actual value. Its annual "value, $322,715.22. In 1871 the actual value of its assessable property was $7, 5 14,091, and its annual value $450,845.46. It will be seen that five cents in the dollar on t^ie annual value of its property would far exceed both interest and sinking fund. The following is a statement of its payments in detail, with dates to the 1st January, 1871 :—

TOWNSHIP OF ELIZABETHTO\\TSr.

In 1854 this toM-nsliip borrowed $18,666.87, which was increased in January, 1858, to $154,000. The whole was loaned to the BrockviUe and Ottava Eaihvay, and secured by a first mortgage on the railway, held jointly with the U. C. of Lanark and Ilenfrew, and the Town of BrockviUe.

By the Act 23 Vict., chap. 109, the liability of the Company under the mortgage to these Municipalities was reduced to five cents in the doUar of their respective a.sse.-~sments payable by the Municipalities to the Government. The Municipalities, themselves, how- ever, are not relieved of their liabilities to the Government. The total payments on account of the JIunicipality of Elizabeth town to the Government are as follows :

By Treasurer, through the Sheriff 11,106 28

Ex Clergy Reserves 5,383 07

Total .?22,390 68

The last payment received from the Municipality was in 1866, through the Sheriff.

In addition to the amount paid as above by the Railway Company to the Govern- ment, the Railway Company has paid to the Municipality in various suinj the aggregate amount of $5,768.80 ; of this amount $1,705.86 has been paid in half j-early payments of $189.54 for the years 1867 to Jul}', 1871, inclusive ; and it would appear that it is intended to continue tliese semi-annual payments regularly.

The Treasurer of the Municipality gives the following explanation of these re- payments :

" The total amount received from the BrockviUe and Ottawa Raihva}' Company is $5,768.80. These moneys have been paid by the Railway Company in repayment of the money paid heretofore by the Municipality of Elizabethtown to the Government out of the moneys h.eretofore collected by the Government from the Municipality through the Sheriff" and Clergy Reserves. The amounts thus refunded by the Railway Company are appropriated to Township jaurposes, according to the particular fund to which they belong. The Clergy Reserve money is applied to school purposes, the balance to ordi- nary Town.ship purposes."

The annual value of the taxable property in 1858 amounted to ^57,775. The annual value of the same in 1871 was $52,350. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 would produce $2,888.75, while the interest at 5 per cent, and sinking fund at 2 per cent, on §154,000 would require an annual payment of $10,780. Its last payment was made through the Sheriff in 1865. The interest in arrear on the 1st of January, 1871, was $128,316.50. The following is a statement of the payments in detail, with dates :

COUNTY OF ESSEX.

This County in 1865, borrowed, under the Municipal Loan Fund, 832,000, which it devoted to local improvements. The total payments made on account of loan amount to $33,895.0.5, and it has to the credit of its sinking fund §12,791.09. The actu.al value of its assessable property in 1858, was $2,824,000, and its annual value $169,440. In 1871, actual value $5,350,000, annual value $321,300. It is scarcely worth while to say that five cents in the dollar is fiir more than is I'equired for the annual payment of interest at 5 per cent., and sinking fund at 2 per cent, on the loan. The last payment was made iu 1870. The following is a statement of the pajTuents in detail with dates :

THE TOWN OF GODEKICH.

In 1854, this town borrowed $100,000 for the purpose of assisting in the construc- tion of the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Railway, but some difficulty having sprung up between the town and the Railw.iy Comp.any its destination was changed, and §40,000 were expended in improving the harbour and the streets of the town, and the erection of a central School liouse at a cost of §12,000. The remaining §60,000 were loaned oa mortg.age to the Northern Gravel Koad Company for the construction of a gravel road, running from the town of Goderich to tlic south boundary line of the County of Bruce. The origin.al terms of the loan to the Company wcro that they should bear theii' portion

of the Government payments in proportion to their loan. When the relief Act of five cents in the dollar was passed, these terms were altered to enable the Company to par- ticipate in the benefits of the relief ; but these modified terms they have been unable to meet, and are in arrear to the town $5,144 for interest.

Since 1859, the town has kept up its payments of five cents in the dollar of the assessment of 1858, with the exception of the year 1868, in which no payment was made.

In addition to the loan effected by the town directly under the Municipal Loan Fund, it has also to bear its proportion of the loan effected by the County of Huron, as one of its Municipalities, and to which it has contributed over $20,000.

The total amount of its payments to the 1st January, 1871, is $63,983.89. The amount of interest in arrear is $36,819.84. Its taxable property in 1858 was, annual value, $86,378. In 1871, $59,733. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 produces $4,318.93. The full pa3'ments of 5 per cent, interest and 2 per cent, sinking fund would be $7,000.

THE TOWN OF GUELPH.

In 1855 this town borrowed $80,000, which it handed over to the Great Western Railway Company, to aid in the construction of the Gait and. Guelph Railway. The Town Treasurer states that the town has hitherto derived no revenue from this invest- ment, and from the accounts of the Great Western Railway Company, there is no pros- pect of the town ever receiving back any portion of the principal or interest money bor- rowed under the Municipal Loan Fund. It appears that the Gait and Guelph Railway,, by a decision of Chancery has passed into the hands of the Great Western Railway Com- pany ; and the Great Western Railway Company considers itself discharged from any accountability to the town of Guelph.

To assist the town of Guelph to meet its indebtedness to the Municipal Loan Fund, the following Municipalities contributed by the issue of debentures :

The City of Hamilton $10,000

Township of Guelph 10,400

Village of Preston 9,600

§30,000 The Hamilton Debentures and $400 of the Township of Guelph were paid over to the Government, and credited to the town. The remaining debentures are still in the possession of the town, in so far as can be ascertained. From 1855 to 1867 the town kept up its payments, and had at its credit in the sinking Fund on the 1st January, 1867, $6,368.24. From that period it ceased to make any further pa}Tnents. At the close of 1868 its sinking fund had become exhausted, and on the 31st of December, 1870, the eum of $9,752.98 stood at its debit for interest.

Its total payments up to date are $54,862.86. It is in arrear on its interest, as has been stated, $9,752.98. Its annual assessment in 1858 was $107,674, and in 1871, $93,311. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 produces $5,383.70 ; while 5 per cent, interest and 2 per cent sinking fund on the loan would require an annual pay- ment of $5,600, just $216.30 over the five cents in the doUar on the assessment of 1858. The last payment made was in 1866.

Mr. Simpson, in his report of 1864, states that the Township of Hope had imposed a tax of 5 cents in the dollar every year since 1859. That the tax was paid over to the Gov- ernment for 1859. For 1860 and 1861 it was paid to the County Treasurer, and for 18G2 and 1863, with the exception of )S640, which was paid to the County Treasurer, the money was retained in the Township Tia»asuvy, under the apprehension that the township might be assessed twice, should any of the other municipalities of the united Counties of North- umberland and Durham be behind in their quota of the loan of §460,000 borrowed for the construction of roads and local impro'i'ements in those counties. This township is in arrear for interest $49,961.40. The annual value of its a.^sessable property in 1858 was $61,681 in 1871, $51,564. Five cents in the dollar on the assessment of 1858 produces $3,084.05, while the interest at 5 per cent, and sinking fund at 2 per cent, would be $4,200 It has paid nothing, as has been remarked, since 1860, although it receives half-yearly from the Railway Company $771.
