Nought the intelligent magistrates were
able to &dominator the act under favor-

were not feetwol hs. Everybody knew
that the liquor law was a di8icult cud to

e asy working of the Soott Act in this
°nasty. Many of the delegates were
m•galrates, cod they themselves admit-
ted that it would be difficult for them to
do their ditty with satisfaction to them-
selves end the law. The large majority
of 1800 had pet themselves forward as
in favor of this Act. It was in the inter-
ests d the county financially, as well as
socially. se if there was no polies mug's -

a• if • law were not enforced, it would
be brought into contempt, however

•here it had been tried. At Bret the
county council of Halton had been .p -
posed to the Act, but the Police magis-
trate had s• •dminmtered it that now
the Halton council was a $teat Act ono.
The delegation represented a majority of
1.600, and that majority thr.,ugh them
asked fur a polies "nsgutr.te. The
population of the county was about 75, -
and is wealth had been placed at
x,000,000, therefore the cost of en
official such al desired, which had been
estimated at $1,000, would be lightly
kit. It would be but 4140 for each of
the 33 municipalities forming the coun-
ty, and before the Crooks Act, under
the old license system, each municipality
used to pay an inspector that amount.
A considerable •seem of the Adios
magistrate's salary weld be mad. up by
the fines accruing from • mon rigorous
(vneecntion of the Act. The magistrates
on the delegation had admitted that the
work was a di:ticult .one, and the magis-
trates of the comity generally would
rather be relieved of the liquor cares.
Then the police magistrate would be •
specialist He would know •11 the ins
and outs of the Act, would too &bore
tonal teeling, and would give more general
satisfaction than the arers;s local J. P.,
who might be more or lees swayed by
feelings of friendship or prejudice. The
liquor law differed from every other law
in.oaraeh that it was submitted to the
special vote of the people of eseh manl-
cipality. Once carried, the will of the
majority should lo respected. He hoped
the council would aid the enforcement of
the law•by approving ,d the sopoinseent
of s police magistrate.
