decided
to

the
right
to

on

His

was
withdrawn
b
provincial
police
'inspector
Ernest
Gammon
whose
subsequent
refusal
to
issue
another
permit
was
twice
upheld
by

Tlic
appeal
was
granted
in
the
face
of
an
opinion
by
Inspector
Gammon
that
council's
original
decision
was
final
and,
therefore,
could
not
be
reversed.
"It
seems
to
me
that
the
issue
here
Is
whether
I
have
the
authority
to
Issue
this
man
a
permit
after
one
has
already
been
can
celled,"
the
police
ofllcer
de
clared.
"I
haven't
the
authority
and
I
doubt
if
this
council
has
the
authority
under
the
Motor

Act
to
reverse
its
former
decision."

challenged
the
police
Inspector's
Interpretation
of
the
clause
of
the
act
affecting
the
dfctl.Von.
"That
phrase
'the
appeal
shall
be

means
that
the

simply
cannot
be
carried
to

court.
It
docs
not
mean
that
one

by
this

the

merely
ends

"I
hope
that
will
allow
the

to
see
his
