In your last issue you state that had the Police Magistrate been ap- pointed " the machinery for the enforce- ment of the Scott Act would now be in operation.' Have we.not the machinery now'?. Are here not able magistrates in Huron rea y to enforce . any righteous law ? The cott Act provides that com- plaints for i infraction may belaid be- fore any J. having jurisdiction in the locality. % e have two J. Ps. here, - both suppor ers of the Act, and I think they have ad no complaints as yet. Where are•the magistrates who have refused to enforce the Act ? Have we, the ratepayers of this county, not a right to - demand, I that it be shown that the present machinery is insufficient before we are saddled with some -two thousand -dollars a }year for the payment of . an- other official ? and it would certainly be- - more inconvenient than the ,present sys- tem.
