The ex pression "rateable property" is used in different senses in this Act .a~d it i~, desired to aVQid ambiguity by removing the definItIOn Qf rateable property" and replacing this ex pression by the exact WQrds where necessary in the Act. SectiQn 17, subsectiQn (1) is amended. The reference to. tQwnships is removed in the defining of bQundaries of a village with relatiQn to. rQad allQwances, and a reference made instead to. "parts Qf sectiQns". SectiQn 23 is amended to. cQrrect.a crQss-reference.

Sectio.n 34, subsectiQn (1) is amended to. have rQad allQw ances and tQwn bQundary defining pro.visiQns similar to. the provisio.ns relating to. villages fQund in the amended sectiQn 17.

Section 79 is amended fQr the purpQse Qf renumbering cer tain subsectiQns. A new sectiQn 82a is added. This sectio.n is similar to. sec tio.n 91 Qf The City Act, and authQrizes the ,council to. enter

ii into agreements with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the policing of the town or village by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, whereupon ;certain sections dealing with municipal ,police have no application.

Section 103 is amended by adding two new subsections. The new subsection (2) provides that a person eligible for election as mayor or councillor is only permitted to run for one such office, and the new subsection (3) provides that a person holding one such office shall not be a candidate for that or the other office unless his term of office is expiring, or unless he resigns his office before the third Monday in February.

Section 104 is amended. Previously a party to an agree ment to purchase land from the town or village, by clause (e), was made ineligible to be elected to council or to sit or vote in the council. This provision is now extended to in clude parties to an agreement to lease land from the town or village.

Section 105 is amended. The effect of the amendment to clause (

d) of subsection (1) is to make the restriction found in clause (

e) of se,ction 104, mentioned above, not applicable to a person by reason only of his selling or leasing land that council could exp-ropriate. Clause (

c) is amended to conform to the amendment to clause (

d) of subsection (1). Clause (

d) of subsection (2) is struck out as it is no longer applic- able ,by reason of the amendment proposed to

section

Section 106, subsection (3) is amended. As this sub

section previously read it did not include a person entitled to vote in a village under

section 159, which

section per mitted a 'person to vote on behalf of a corporation.

Section 107, subsection (2) is amended. This

section in dicated the persons entitled to vote at an election but did not previously indicate a person who is entitled under sec tion 159 to vote on behalf of a corporation.

Section 108, subsection (3) is amended. This amendment cla-rifies the meaning of the subsection.

Section 159 is amended. The effect of this amendment is to place churches or other religious organizations that own property within a town or village upon the same footing as corporations with respect to voting at an election by repre sentatives.

Section 183, subsection (1) is amended. As there may be more- than one tie vote in an election for councillors this amendment is for the purpose of clarifying the position of the returning officer who votes in case of a tie election and may thus be required to cast a tie-breaking vote in more than one election of a councillor.

Section 220 is amended. The ,correct reference here is to the "poll book" set out in Form 27 in the

Schedule but prior to thIS amendment the

section referred to the "voters' list".

iii

Section 225 is amended. The effect of this amendment is to perI?it a proprietar~ elector who is also a resident repre senta~lve .of a corpo~atl(~n, or of a church or other religious organIzation, to vote.In h~s perso~al capacity as a proprietary elector as well as In hIS capacIty as representative of a corporation, or of a ,church or religious organization.

Section 226 is amended by substituting a new section. Previously, a bank or other corporation assessed on the last revised assessment roll as owner of real property was en titled to one vote and it was required that the vote be given by an employee of the corporation not otherwise en titled to vote as a proprietary' elector. The new

section 226 permits churches and other religious organizations the same privileges as banks and other corporations had under the old section. In addition, the restriction against the vote being cast by a 'person who was not otherwise entitled to vote as a proprietary elector is removed.

Section 228 is amended by the substitution of a new sub section (1) which is made necessary by the addition of churches or other religious organizations to the voting privileges under the redrafted

section 2'26.

Section 270, subs~ction (1) is amended. The new sub section (1), by reference to

section 269, clarifies the power of a council to pass by-laws for the erection, purchase, other acquisition and improvement of buildings. Previously, the subsection set -out the buildings by class, or by type of lands and doubt could arise as to the extent of the power of the council.

Section 308 is amended by the addition of two new sub sections. The new subsections (5) and (6) set out, for the purpose of a hospital agreement, the persons entitled to the benefit of the hospital agreement where the real property being assessed for the ~ost of the agreement is under a purchase agreement or has been transferred to a new owner during the year. Where there is a purchaser entitled to possession he is the person entitled to the benefits of the agreement and where real 'property is transferred, whether 0; not the taxes for that year have been paid, the new owner whose name replaces the former owner's on the assessment roll is entitled to the hospital benefits.

Section 341, subsection (1) is amended. The effect of this amendment to cIa use (

d) is to extend the power of a town or village to enable it to construct or acquire the works necessary to convey light, power, gas or water t? the town or village. They may expend money on land eIther within or without the town for that purpose.

Section 342 is amended. The purpose of this amendment is to include the supplying of gas among those utilities for which a town or village supplying same may fix rates, or cut off for default of :payment of rates.

Section 343 is amended. The new

section 343 authorizes a council to enter into a contract with a person to

iv (

a) provide light, heat, gas or water services to the residents, and (

h) provide the town or village corporation with a: sup- ply of light, heat, gas or water for its distribution. The by-law authorizing the contra'ct is subject to the prior approval of the Board of Public Utility Commissioners and must be submitted to the proprietary electors for approval.

Section 343£1, is new. Subsection (1) sets out that a by law authorizing a contract or a renewal of a contract under

section 343 is to be submitted for approval to the Board of Public Utility Commissioners after the first reading. Sub-: section (2) sets out the conditions which that subsection declares such a contract is subject to, and is essentially a redraft of subsection (3) of the former

section 343. Sub section (3) is the former subsection (4) of the former sec tion

Section 386 is repealed. This

section served no useful purpose and seemed to imply that councillors had authority to prohibit the collection of taxes in certain cases, and is therefore repealed.' .

Section 392, subsection (2) is amended to correct a print ing error.

Section 407, subsection (3), clause (

c) is. amended to avoid the use of the words "rateable property" and sub stituting the words indicating more precisely what is in tended.

Section 412 is amended to remove a possible ambiguity.

Section 415 is amended. The purpose of this amendment is to avoid the use of the word "rates" where it means: "taxes", and further to avoid' using the ambiguous term, "rateable property".

Section 416 is amended. The expression "rateable prop erty" is replaced by words indicating ·more clearly what is meant and by striking out certain other words and re placing them with words indi,cating more clearly the intent of subsections (1) and (2).

Section 420, subsection (1) is amended to avoid the use of the word "rates" and "rateable property" by replacing them with words which more clearly express the intent of the suBsection.

Section 429a is added immediately after

section 429. This new.section is simila!: to

section 650 of The City Act and prOVIdes that where interest for one year or more on the debentures issued under a by-law, or the principal of a de benture that has matured, has been paid 'by the town or village, the by-law and debentures shall not be open to ques tion or be invalid even if the assent of the required number of proprietary electors was not in the first instance obtained.

Section 440, sUibsection (1) is amended to obtain more ex a'ct meaning. A new

section 473a is added. It makes provision for the dis,posal of lost or unclaimed property in the possession of a town or village. It provides for the retention of the prop erty by the town or village for six months with a subsequent sale by public auction if unclaimed by that time, and the disposal of the proceeds of the sale to the owner if he makes a claim within one year after the sale. Thereafter the pro ceeds are to be deposited in the general revenue of the town or the village. This provision is similar to

section 716 of The City Act. Form 10 in the

Schedule is amended by correcting the heading of that Form. Form 21 in the

Schedule is struck out and a new Form substituted. The effect of this amendment is that the new Form 21 will com1ply with the amendments to

section 159. Form 27 in the

Schedule is amended by changing the heading to read "By-law Poll Book". Form 31 in the

Schedule is struck out and a new Form substituted. The new Form 31 makes this Form comply with the amended

section 228. This Bill comes into force on the 1st day of July, 1953. J. W. RYAN, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not forrn any part of the Bill but is offered in explanation of its provisions.)
