O.T.A. FOR HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS? CADI SAYS
Magistrate A. F. Cook, of Stratford,
last week referred to the Canada
Temperance Act as an “antiquated
law made for the horse and buggy
days" as he dismissed charges of
bringing intoxicating liquor into Perth
County against two St. Marys men.
“It makes police constables and the
administration of law appear foolish”,
ho said.
Dismissal of the charge was based
on lack of identification of accused
and insufficient indcntification of
beer fts beer purchased fotWi a local
