We annex to this report a Schedule showing the names of objectors, the nature of their objections, and the decisions we have arrived at. We submit the following final arrangement of districts, :; with respect to which we have given, in accordance with section 2 of the Act of 1889, every possible consideration to the present boundaries of electoral districts, to community of interest, facilities of communication, and topographical features:—
Authenticated maps and descriptions of the boundaries of the electoral districts accompany this report. Given under our hands and seals, this 26th day of April, 1890. T. M. Haultain, Chairman. John Hislop. B. Dobson. J. SI'EEREY. S. Percy Smith.
