TOWNSHIP OF TUCKERSIVIITH and
R. KRUSE.
The Supreme Court has disposed of
this 1111011 litigated case. On the 13t11
of Jamtury 1913 the Township of Tuck-
ersmith passed a bylaw whereby it as-
sumed to close Mill Street North of
Queen Street thereby depriving the
plaintiffs of the right to use this street
and cutting off access to their lots
which fronted 011 it, The Township
followed by its bylaw by selling the
street to Defendant Kruse who proceed-
ed to deal with the land as if it was
his own and placed a "wilding across
it R. F. Jones and the others in-
terested in the street took proceedings
to set aside the bylaw, the deed to
Kruse, and to compel hirn to remove
his building off of the street, The
Motion was heard by Mr. Justice Mid-
dleton who made an order quashing
the bylaw, The Township appealed
and the znd division of the Appellate
division set aside this order and directed
the Motion and action to set aside the
conveyance to be tried together. The
trial took place at Stratford before Mr.
Justice Latchford who found in favor
of the plaintiffs, quashed the bylaw, set
aside the conveyance and directed Kruse
to remove his building, with costs to
be paid by defendants.
The Township and Kruse appealed
and their appeal was heard by the tirst
Appellate division which sets aside that
portion of Justice Latchford's judge-
ment which quashed the whole bylaw,
but sustained that part 01 11 which held
that the Township acted illegally in
disposing of the street and making the
conveyance to Kruse.
The' Plaintiffs appealed to the Su-
preme Court of Canada and Kruse cross
appealed in so far as his conveyance
to Kruse.
, On the znd inst. the Supreme Court
delivered a unanimous judgement where
by it allowed the Plaintiffs' appeal, re-
stored the' judgement of Justice Latch-
ford, dismissed Kruse's cross appeal
ami directed the Defendants to pay the
costs of the litigation through:Mt.
This judgement is a clear vindication
Of the Plaintiffs' contention. It took
them a long time to secure their rights
and to obtain them had to incur very
considerable risk of paying costs. In
doing so, although fighting a wealthy,
corporation, they showed pluck and
determination. The case is now a cele-
brated one and has settled .the law in
Ontario as to the powers of Munici-
palities to close streets laid dbwm ola
plans which the Municipality had never
assumed or adopted as publid high-
ways.

rectitude of the powers that be, are no dciubt
assured that the measure will be so wisely
framed and so fairly administered that no
301430 of bitterness or lajustice will be possible
on the part of any. It would be little short
of calamity if there, should be ally well
grounded' suspicion of favoritism. The mea-
sure should apply equally to the eligible of
every section, class and creed, in the entire
Country. The parts of the Country that
have already furnished their quota should
not be further demanded of their young man-
hood, until' those sections that up to date have
done practically nothing', contribute their
full share to the ranks. 1 agree also with
those who are calling for a wider measure of
conscription. If there is to be sacrifice
anywhere, it should be everywhere. Those
who =licit go to the War should bear their
fair proportion of the burdens of the war,
either willingly or by conscription. It is not
enough to manufacture munitions, and grow
immensely wealthy all the while, nor to grow
larger crops and fatten our hank accounts as
a result,' Every dollar of surplus profit,
should be placed tinder tribute to hasten the
victory our young men- are, shedding their
blood to win. In a Christian and democratic
country, this 1 believe is the only true and
equitable law."
Mr. W. Brydone, President of Huron Co.
War Auxiliary : "That voluntary enlistment
is wrong in principle and compulsory service
the true national service is an idea which was
flounted in .1914, considered in 1915, and by
April 1916 accepted by nearly everyone. At
least one provincial legislature, that of New'
Brunswick', indorsed it a year ago. Repre-
sentation of fifty recruiting leagues urged its
adoption at a conference with Sir Robert
13orden in April 1916, and received promise
of consideration. The Government of Can-
ada is a full year behind the people in this
matter. Now the people tire advancing their
demands for much wider action than etifOrCe-
mcnt of the Militia Act; they want food -con
troi, waste control, price Control and a cata-
logue of such things, it is to be hoped that
now the government has undertaken to per-
forin its PtinctiOn and gOVern the country% it
'1•''
Ago
will not feel that its;function has been fully
performed by this single act, but will go on
and' protect the people from those avoidable
injtistices from which every citizen knows
himself t� be 'suffering. -A law of Compul-
sory service should be rigidly enforced until
every man .engaged hi any non -industrial oc-
cupation should be working at sbmething that
will help win the war or lessen the burden' of
war upon the community. Perhaps when
that time collies the police -magistrates will
not be so busy. After that we should look
forward to the abandomnent of manufacture
and production of luxuries. It Inky even
come to that; it is moving in that 'direction.
Huron County War Auxiliary has stood for
compulsory National Service, enforced on a
selective system, since its foundation eighteen
months ago. We believe that when every
able-bodied citizen is forced to do something
Useful for the preservation of life and the
production of the necessaries of life there
need be little fear of want after the war, Let
us have it so by alt means."
ReV, J. E. Hogg: "Tile country at large has been
proud of the way tens of thousands of our' young
men have voluntarily given themselves in response
to the call for service, and still prouder of the way
they have acquitted themselves 011 the field of bat-
tle. But the voluntary system has failed to secure
enough men to implement the promises of our
country. It has failed, also to call to the colours
Malty who are best able to serve. These facts have
forced many reluctantly to conclude that conscrip-
ion is the only way open to the government to pro-
vide ilte necessary reinforcements to keep our Gan-
adian army up to its splendid standard of efficiency.
Indeed Ste insistent appeals from every part'of our
land for conscription would indicate that the
country is ready for such a measure and has only
been waiting the return of Premier Borden to have
enacted the necessary legislation. In My :humble
opinion the government has done well to wait until
popular demand has been made for such drastic
gclion."And'now that' the hour has struck, the
country will receive with - satisfaction a bBl making
operative Such form of selective conscription as Will
secure the necessary reinforcements to sustain our
men who So heroicly are lighting our betties upon
the fields of France."
