Political Issue Referring to Reeve Litchfield's evidence, he commented: "The Reeves principal coms) plaint was with regard to speed- ing. He said that he got ten or fifteen complaints every week However, on cross examination I think it was established that the number of complaints was exag- gerated. Nevertheless, as I have previously stated, conditions with regard to speeding are no doubt bad. Also, the Reeve has a small child and lives on the main street, which merges into No. 2 Highway. I think it is not unfair to say that the Reeve has made a political issue on the matter of speeding and has brought it up repeatedly at meetings, when the Council has asked the Police Committee to request the Chief to take action." Picayune In regard to the reeve's com- plaint that the chief took the police cruiser to Burlington, he shid: "It is clear that proper en- quiries would have shown the chief proceeded to Burlington .. . to consult with the chief there in regard to the arrest of Page 4 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Thurs -- brought back a fingerprint ex-[ Judge Macdonell also noted the himself and liberate the: prison-| tobacco licence, althougy R | R t port.
