A motion asking for leave to
i,ssue a writ of attachment on all
town Chattels dr, alternatively, to
comthit all the members of Town
Council to jail, was sought by
members of Goderich Collegiate In-
stitute Board. The board took,
this action because 'council had so
far failed to obey an order of Mr.
Justice 'Makins, of the Supreme
Court of Ontario, who instructed
•council to approve the 1934 budget
of the 'board. The trouble started
, when the board refused to cut
teachers' salaries as much as the
council asked.
