On 'the eighth Inst, the Mem- bers of the executive committee of Huron County Branch of the Domin- ion Alliance met iii Wesley church with a good attendance when a num. her of important resolutions Were p Passed, the most important one he tag to the board of license commis stoners, ' which reads as follows : To the Board of License Cotttnnissionerd-l' Dear Sir,—At a full meeting of tete county executive we, the Undersign- ed, were appointed a committee to write your board. concerning laws en• forcemeat in Canada • Temperance Act counties under the new Ontario Temperance Act, ' According to statements appearing- in the public press of Aug. 3rd time license board, on the advice of their solicitor, take the ground that the federal bill tali - es precedence over tie provincial bill, therefore, there will be no "standard hotels'' fit C.T.A. coun- ties, We beg. to dither with your legal adviser claiming, as we do, that by precedent legal ,decisions rendered re Liquor License Act and at present recognized by our courts that. after Sept. :16th the "Ontario 'Temperance Act," so far as it is not repugnant to the Canada Tem- perance Act, will come into force and the two laws Will stand to - h Liquor License Act SI - get o, the .tel of 1. <e m ply giving way to the new law. This conclusion is reached upon the following grounds . 1. According to a decision of the privy council the provincial govern- ment, have full power to provide -for law enforcement and enforce all tem meraneo legislation within its bounds. 2. The Ontario 'Temperance Act is the legislation providing for this. 3. From a menlorandum prepared by .1. R. Cartwright for Hp, 1. B. Lucas, the Attorney General, dated July 5th, 1911, which reads as fol- lows : Memorandum to the Attorney (Ion- eral; me Canada Temperance Act : It seems to me that the previsiamts of the Liquor License Act of On- tario, ii, so far as they do not con- flict with the provisions of the Can- ada Temperance Act, would remain in force in any county which had adopted the latter act. This would seem to follow front the language used by the judicial committee in the Attorney General for Ontario vs. Attorney ' Cleneral for the Dominion. 1896 appeal cases 318. In discussing there the Ontario Local Option pravisiuns it is said ; "The question must next be consid- ered whether the provincial enact- ments of section lib to any, and if soto what extent come into col - union with the provisions of the Canadian Act of 18911, 1n so far as they do, provincial must yield to Dominion legislation, and must re- main in abeyancet unless and Until the act of 1899 is repealed by the parliament which passed it. At page 396 their Lordships say, if the pro- hibitions of time Canada Temperance Act haul been ° nmcle imperative Brough the Dominion, their Lord- ships might have been constrained by previous authority to hold that the jurisdiction of the Legislature of Ontario to pass s. 18 or any similar law had been superseded. In that ease no provincial proimibition% such as are sanctioned by s. 18, could have been enforced by a municipality without corning into conflict with tete paramount law of Canada. For the Baine reason provincial prohibi- tions in force- within a particular district will necessarily become im- perative whenever the prohlbitory clauses of time Act of 18811 have been adopted, by that district. But their Lordships can discover no adequate grounds for holding that there exists repugnancy between the two laws in districts of the province of Ontario where the prohibitions of the Can- adian Act are not and may never be In force. At page 370 it is said their Lordships for these reasons, give a general answer to the sev- enth question in the. affirmative. They are of the -opinion that the Ontario legislature had jurisdiction to enact s. 18 subject to this nec- essary" qualificatiotn, that its pro- visions are or will become inopera- tive in any district of time province which has already adopted, or may subsequently adopt the second part of the. Canada Temperance Act of 1886. It would seen to result from the above that so far as the Liquo License Act is not repugnant to the provisions of the:Canada 'Temper- ance Act the two Paws may( stand together. (Signed) Toronto, July 5th, 19.1.6. 'i. A case recently decided before Justice Sutherland, re clause 19:1. of License Act, which decision was' to the effect, that clause .Lill. was in- tim vines of the Canada Temperance Act. Inasmuch then as the Ontario Temam- perauce .Act will on Sept. 1,3'tlt re- peal the Liquor T.,icmmse Act and be- come the legislation providing for law enforcement, We (think it is sate, logic to conclude. that it mast hold the same relation to the Can- ada Temperance Art as. did- the Liquor License Act which it has dis- placed, We hold itlmerefere that the Ontario Tempeianoo Act, where not repugnant' 'to the , Canaria Temper- ance Act, operates in tote or is invalid iii tote' In Canada Temper- ance Act counties. May we be per- mitted then to ask by what logical process or legal advice can it be made rational to hold (for illus- tration) tlmat clause Wt, see., a shall operate and still two inspectors be appointed for 1-leron' county. If the inspectors ate not appointed minder clause 11.9, then they should he ap pointed under clause 1,35; Further, if clause 55 is held by the courts to be in operation in Huron county, and we believe it Tyree, why should not clause 146' be, treated: the August 24th, 1916 .aat777 , sante, neither of them .being, repug- nant to the Canada Temperance pe'rance Act. We may, be told that we are not familiar with legal •iirterpretation of law, and would ask; that your Hon- orable board, if in doubt, would take'some steps to have the ques- tion decided by the proper courts. We feel we should- i) t T enm- porance counties be considered under the new ant, at least as far . as its provisions .go lot securing law en- forcement, otherwise we are left to the mercy of ' ward politicians who consider political exegencies first and law enforcement : a secondary matter. 'Thanking your board for kind con- sideration and most valdabie assis- tance in' the past we are confident your will seriously consider our case and give us what we believe the law allows.
