His Idea of Local Self-Goyernmeat for
Ireland in 1885.
LONDON, Aug. 14-Mr. yParnell's scheme
OF local government for Ireland. to
which Mr.. Chamberlain refers in his letter
to the Times, has been made public. A
synopsis is as follows:
1t proposes to create county boards TO be
elected by rate-payers biennially, these boards
to levy county rates and administer all county
business. It further proposes that each
county board and municipality, according
10 population, elect representatives to q
central board at Dublin, which shall man
age all public departments and levy
taxes for public works and for guarantees and
subsidies to pupiic enterprises. It would be-
entitled to borrow money from the treasury
FOR the purposes sanctioned, by law and to
grant loans to owners and occupants of lands,
subject to the consent and regulations of
the treasury. It would have the power to
ask Parliament for contributions from the
imperial excheQuer not exceeding the proper.
ton OF such contributions to the rates granted
1or similar purposes in England It would
nave control over all public endowments for
educational purposes in Ireland, and over the
unapplted balance of the Irish church fund.
now in keeping of the land commission
ers. When either the county boards or the
central board should exercise the right of
compulsorily taking on lease or pur-
CHASING lana IN order to enlarge holdings,
or to supply other holdings to tenants
in congested districts, the valuation for the
lease or purchase might be left to the land
commissioners. There would be no appeal
from the central board, except on the question
OF legal power, and such appeal would be
finally decided by the Supreme Court OF Ap-
peal. The central board would also be author
lied to delegate any of it's powers to- com.
mittee and to appoint a president and other
employees to administer them,
The scheme further provides; that land.own-
ers shall have representation on both the coun-
ty and central boards in proportion to the rates
paid by them, and suggests that landlords and
tenants may hold separate elections to secure
that end
