A new alarm box for Duke Street was approved. A letter from the Workmen Compensation Board clarified, a point which had been in doubt for many months. The firemen are covered with this insurance, but it was not known just when the cov- erage began; that is, whether the insurance began when the alarm sounded, or when the firemen. reached the scene of the fire. The letter stated that the latter case applied. Councillor Sillery reported fur- ther on the public rest room which has been under discussion at pre- vious meetings. It was anticipat- ed having it located in the public library, but the board has report- ed that on two previous occasions this has been tried and met with poor r,esults.

Huron County Council urged the Federal Government to repeal the Canada Temperance Act in Huron •County in its. closing sessions last week. By a recorded vote of 19-11, council approved the recommenda- tion of the legislative committee "that the county Council of Huron does protest the continuing in force of the Canada Tempertnce Act, and respectfully requests the Parliament of Canada to bring about the repeal of the said act." In the preamble to the resists tion sponsored by Reeves F. Sills, Seaforth, and W. G. Cochrane, Ex- eter, it was stated that "whereas the C.T.A. has been in force io, several yeare and it Jias become evident during the period) that the said act is a most ineffective and unsatisfactory method of control- ling the sale, distribution and con- sumption of alcoholic beverages; "And, whereas the enforcement of the provisions of the act has be come virtually impossible, In spite of repeated and persistent efforts on the part of both the police and the courts, charged with the en- forcement of the act; and the act has become antiquatedand no longer serves the purpose for which is, was passed." W. G. Cochrane, Exeter, who with Reeve Sills sponsored the resolution, explained that it was not designed to protest the C.T.A., nor to condone the Liquor Control Act, nor the method: of control as it exists under the Liquor Control Act. Warden A. Nicholson declared that the C.T.A. has not proven satistactory. Teen-agers go to boot- leggers and. it is a disgrace noth- ing can be done. He thought the time opportune for some other law. The police say they can do nothing and people can drink on the street, Which happened in Grand Bend. "People have been complaining and it is a matter which should be brought to a head," said Reeve Sills. "The C.T.A. is a federal act and L.C.A. a provincial one." He ar- gued that the ,,Provincial Govern- ment has no right to step in to en- force a federal law. He is a mem- ber of the Seaforth Police Com- nussion and termed it "pathetic" what is happening to young people, and something should be done to protect them. 'The -C.T.A. was introduced in horse and buggy days, but a dif- ferent situation has arisen With the motor cars. He said that it the C.T.A. is repealed the L.C.A. would come in force and munici- palities would have the say as to how it will be enforced, and muni- cipal councils would have control of the manner of sale. Mr. Sill, emphasized he was not in favor of beverage rooms. Only four coun- ties have the C.T.A. All the others cannot be wrong. Approval was given to a motion that the warden's committee be the committee for civil defence. The members are R. B. Cousins, A. McCann, Wm. Morritt, .3: McNabb and A. Kerslake. The following motions were en- dorsed: Adair -Gowdy: nit the County of Huron petition the Department of Highways to repair the bridge on No. 4 Highway, Wingham north, known as McKenzie bridge, as this has been the scene of many acci- dents. ' Johnson -Adair: That the Huron County Council petition the De- partment of Highways to have the bridge at the south of Wingham on No.' 4 Highway removed and replaced 'bT a six-foot culvert; al- so the section. of Highway 86 from Whitechurch to Wingham, and Bluevale' to Molesworth be im- proved' and graded.
