municipal act had the approval of the municipal association and would be brought before thelegislature for their consideration last yearactc4 council requested that the municipal act be changed to give villages the power to license transient traders the same as is now enjoyed by towns and cities as the act stands it is now very unfair many places that were towns have now only tillage population and many villages have town population and yet do not desire to incorporate the right for transient trading in villages is granted by a county license over which the municipality has no power other centres are towns only by virtue of being the county town and yet enjoy the same protection as the centres with more population as a matter of fact it is hard to understand why the privilege to stop the transient trader should not be given to every municipality regardless of size the small town merchant requires just as much protec tion as the city man but under existing rules cannot secure it and yet the city trader can take his own business and branch out to the smaller centres free of tax i a new rattle bar warning signal is being placed at the railway crossings on no 7 highway to reduce
