That, of course, was "old stuff" to the delegation. Finally Ald. Agnew took up the cudgels and stated that be- ing in the dust zone, he was pre- I pared to make a motion which ' when carried out might bring the whole matter of the nuisance, within the realm of being dealt with under certain sections of the .Criminal Code, which make]' provision against disturbing the comfort of the citizens of a muni- cipality, and against the peace of their families. Be declared that in his opinion this nuisance did d the area referred to by the dele- gaisttiuonrh , the peace and comfort pf Agnew therefore moved and it was seconded and carried: "That Council instruct the Clerk to write the Crown Attorney of the county asking him to investigate this matter, and to do all in his power to have the nuisance dis- continued."
