To the Editor of the Clinton New Era : Sir;-Underthe above title in your issue of the 14th, there is a statement to the effect that in the matter of law enforcement, there is still room for Improvement, and that the executive, of the Huron County Temperance Al- liance will tumid enlist the sympathy of all county officers and magistrates to see thatthelaw is strictly enforced. I think the, large majority of your readers will agree with me that these remarks convey nn erroneous im- psession. I make bold to state that the present law condition in the County of Huron is being very of fectively enforced, and it is not just or fair to convey the impression that r otherwise.
