He pointed out that without device evidence in a speeding charge, the magis- AY M Y ST. trate would not convict. He stat- ed a trap took too many men to P.M operate. Councillor Cooke again Sidi voiced protest against use of the er 5-8 device, stating he heard adverse criticism of Oakville in other cen- tres. "The device catches the guil- ty," Councillor Isard told him. "If the cap fits, I say let them wear it." The erection of the signs at the town limits had, he felt, ac- complished something toward slowing through traffic. Councillor Freeman said pop- ulation requirements meant that Oakville should have 9 officers on the force instead of the six now employed. "On a dull evening in council I have noticed someone usually gets up and says that the [| police should do something about speeding, or stopping little boys from breaking lights with ston- es" he said. "And it usually ends up as it has tonight, with the in- dividual making the complaints with no suggestions to offer of how to improve the situation." Mayor Black said he had been critical of police administration in the town for several years, and that council did too much talk- ing about matters which were the problem of that administra- tion.

Reeve Litchfield said the chief's words concerning "running was exactly the reason he had raised the question. He contend- ed the police car should not leave town for any cause. There were many other means of transporta- tion available to the chief if a case required him to visit an- other centre. Councillor Isard contended the Reeve should have brought the matter before the committee first, and arranged a meeting of Reeve Litchfield said that Councillor Isard, owing to his newness on council, possib- that he had matter up the committee. ly was not aware been bringing this time and time again. 5 & 8 8 i a a a a i 5 a 2 a i x a & i a a a % a i a i a 8 a a i a a a a 5 a a a a a a a 2 CE RCE HIT ORE S30 OC S30 KE OC S30 RS REC RE R ERC TE NE CEST McCLARY GAS RANGES Fully Guaranteed Three Burner Model $89.00 $114. $139. $172.00 $15.00 Four Burner Model Four Burner Model with side cabinet .......
