fractions laid against Ivan Louz-‘
On/ proprietor of, the Lucknow
Fruit Market, anU Henry Donais,
proprietor of Henry’s Fruit Mar
ket, were speedily dealt With by
Magistrate Otto McClevis in ’Pol
ice Count in Walkerton on Thurs
day morning, He dismissed both
cases. • * ;.
The charges were laid by Con
stable Alex: Havens, under the
provisions of By-Law No. 3 of
the Village of Lucknow,, setting
closing hours at 6.30 p.m. on week
days and 11.30 on Saturday.
Both the stores in question con
tinued to remain open eVenings
after the by-law, became. effect
ive on March 1st. Constable Hav-
.. ens had subpoened Wm. Brown,
J. Cummings, and Vernon Hun-
‘ter, as having made purchases
“after hours” at Louzpn’s and
George Joynt, Carrie Milne and
Wm. Lyons at Henry’s Fruit Mar
ket. . • •
R. S. Hetherington acted as sol
icitor for the Municipality, Frank
Donnelly was Mr* Louzon’s law
yer and Campbell Grant was re
tained iby Mr.Donais. }
In addition to the first three
mentioned witnesses, Clerk E. H.
Agnew and Constable Havens
were also called io the /stand.
- - Upon/ dismissing the—charge
against Mr. Louzon, the charge
against Mr. Donais was not pro-
' ceded with as it. had been laid
under the same by-law. _ „
’ the
by-law invalid, viewing it as hav
ing stemmed from a petition that
did not carry the required* per
centage of signatures of the class
of-stores7 involved. Neither of the
. fruit . stores had signed the pe-
£ tition; ,
Mr. Hetherington read the sec
tion from the statutes empower
ing a'municipality to set closing
hours, and upon which he argued
the by-law had been 'drafted.
Decide To Repeal It .
At their Monday, night meet
ing the Village Council decided
to repeal the by-law in question
50 that no store would bp fet
tered by it. J/)
opinion’ that while the by-law
had been drafted under one sec
tion of the statutes, the case had
been disposed of in court under
another section. The question of
appealing, while t brought up by
/ “ the Reeyei WW dwelt on, and
he favored clearing the books of
/ the regulations.. When it was joc
ularly suggested by Councillor
Stothers that Mr. Robertson va*-
cate the chair, and make the mo
tion, the Reeve took them Up on
it, appointed Councillor. McLeod
reeve pro-tem and, pronto, ’’the
motion -by Reeve Robertson and
Councillor Mowbray, was unan
imously passed that the by-law
be~ rescinded. : .

TO RENEW LEASE
ON TOWN OFFICE
At the April meeting of the
Village Council on Monday night,
it was decided to renew the lease
of. the present municipal office
in the Johnstone Block for a five
year period at a rental of: $35.00
a month, plus'the taxes.
The/ decision came after the
Board had abandoned the idea of
establishing an office in either*
the Recreational Centre or the
Town Hall. ~ - ~ - v
With "the office/remaining in
its present, location, there are
vacant safety deposit boxes avail
able at? the rate of; $5.00 or $8.00
per annum. J
Council sat until midnight with
the first hour being taken Up in
studying a proposed control .sys
tem, that would automatically cut
off water heaters -at • the time of
the peak load demand. The cost
of the system would run to sev
eral thousand dollars, which
would be speedily recovered, and
.largely paid for, by the saying
resulting from peak load control
on which . the monthly H.E.P.C.
.bill. is. levied/' ' '
Bob MacKenzie sought a jacket,
fund grant for the W.O.A.A.' Ban
tam champions, and this was ap
proved in the amount of $25;0(h .

could* do.

estimated cost of. power for the
fiscal year and is an annual ad
justment.
But, nevertheless the local Sys-
Tem - showed a profitable^year
with a net revenue of. $3,013.85.
