Municipal Council of the This is to certify that we have, this day, audited the accounts of the Township of Puslinch, up to December 31st 1892, have compared the vouchers with the payments made, and examined the different assets, and found the same quite correct, as per the Treasurer’s statement. (signed by) John A. McDonald & R. B. Morison (auditors) Aberfoyle, Feb. 3rd 1893. |
March 13th 1893. Pursuant to adjournment, the Council met in the Council Room, at Aberfoyle, on Monday March 13th at 10 o’ clock a.m. The members were all present, the Reeve in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and sustained. |
|
1. |
Moved by Mr. Scott, seconded by Mr. Hume, that whereas the Hamilton, Waterdown and Guelph Electric Railway Company (Limited) and the Hamilton Radial Electric Railway Company Limited are both applying for incorporation for the purpose of building an electric railway from Hamilton to Guelph, and whereas we believe that it would not be beneficial to this township that both the said companies should be incorporated, be it therefore, and the same is hereby resolved that the Council of the Municipal Corporation of the Township of Puslinch is opposed to the incorporation of the Hamilton Radial Electric Railway Company Limited, either by letters patent or by any Acts or Bill of the Ontario Legislature. |
2. |
Moved by Mr. Stewart, seconded by Mr.
Hume, that a bylaw be now introduced and read a first and second time, to

|
|
3. |
Moved by Mr. Ellis, seconded by Mr. Scott, that Bylaw No. 325, to appoint Pathmasters, Fence Viewers, and Pound-keepers for the Municipality of Puslinch for the current year be now read a third time and passed. |
4. |
Moved by Mr. Scott, seconded by Mr. Hume, that the portion of taxes levied and collected as an equivalent to the government grants to schools has been paid by the ratepayers of Protestant Separate School Section No. 3, amounting in the aggregate to $25.00, and as the said Protestant Separate School is debarred from receiving a share of the Municipal School Fund, it is expedient and necessary to refund to the Board of School Trustees, of the said school, the sum of $25.00, to be expended for school purposes as the law directs.
|
5. |
Moved by Mr. Scott, seconded by Mr. Stewart, that the following accounts be passed and ordered to be paid, namely, the account of Innes and Davidson, for printing and advertising ─ $13.50, Joseph Mason, for repairing roadway on sideline between Lots 10 & 11 in the 2nd Concession ─ $1.13, Archibald Ramsay, for building culvert on Beverly Townline at Lot 3 ─ $5.00, Beverly Council to pay one half thereof, and the account of John Smith, Collector, for blank receipts ─ $1.50. |
The Council adjourned, to meet again on Monday May 29th at 10 o’ clock a.m., and constitute as a Court of revision, and after Revision, for general business. (signed by) Allan Stewart ─ Deputy-Reeve |
