The situation was brought to'. conn - 1 ell's attention when Constable James V. Ryan told of stopping two fruit trucks. Council instructed Constable Ryan to lay charges in these two cases. He is also to study two by- laws governing such matters and en- force them. By-laws relating to the 'debenture issues for collegiate and public school purposes were given fir.at.and second reading; final read- VIA ing being withheld pending formal approval of the Ontario municipal board. The council ;was assured of this approval some weeks ago. The by-laws. provide $6,000 for the public school repairs and $3,000 for an ad- dition at the collegiate. Some questions of the advisability of passing the by-law for the public school debentures was raised in coun- cil in view of the fact that the school board had reduced its original program by some $2,000, TovSn Sol- icitor H. G. Meir pointed out that the by-law would have to be passed covering the original requisition but that council could satisfy itself as to the amount spent before paying over the proceeds of the debenture issue.
