PROTEST AGAINST THE

Judge Carss appeared before
the city council last night on be-
half of certain grocers who stated
that their signatures had been ob-
tained to the early closing bylaw
by misrepresentation of the facts.
He presented declarations from
Alex. Ferguson and S. Mussallem
to this effect. Mr.

Mr. Carss also pointed out that

as the signature required was
purely that of an individual, dual
signing was entirely out of order.
He pointed out that great care
should be exercised by the coun-
cil in assuring itself that the sig-
natures to the petition are all in
order before finally passing the
bylaw.

Ald. Montgomery said he would

city solicitor on the matter. Mr.
Peters stated that the

own accord and knew exactly what
they were doing. With regard to
the dual signature, he held that
where two licenses were paid, two

men who

signatures were perfectly in or-
der. He'said that the council had
no option but to proceed with the
passing of the bylaw requested in
the petition.

The early closing bylaw passed
its final reading.
