at any time, for the purposes of adjustment of representa-
tion in the Council, when the same is authorized and other-
wise, from time to time alter the number of ridings within
the county, and the names and boundaries thereof, or of any
of them: And whereas by the forty-sixth section of the
said Act it is provided that the Council shall, on some day
in March preceding the expiration of the term of office of
the Councillors, hold a meeting for the purpose of considering
whether the representation of the different ridings requires
readjustment; and if it be found that, taking into considera-
tion the number of ratepayers and rateable value, the repre-

ferred on it by "The Counties Act, 1886," and of every

tion of the different ridings in the said Council, doth hereby
