Hills", presented by the Victoria
Players Of Goderich, in the Town
Hall, Fair night, under the auspices

ed as the play was most interesting
and each member of the cast •played
their part exceptionaly well. Special

law at the next regular meeting of the
Council and the, Clerk was instructed

solicitor re the sale of meat inside
the corporation. This information
contained in a letter was read to the
Council. The solicitor advised. the
Council that, according to law as now
on the statutes, they had not the pow-
er to prohibit any person in Ontario

from selling sante inside the corpor-
ation. Any person who sells meat
inside the corporation, as a vendor,
and does not produce that which he
sells will be forced to pay a peddlers'
license under the Transient Traders'
Act.

itor's letter and as the law made them
powerless to draw a new by-law the
matter was dropped.
