the same preblems and their solutions lo common and listen to inside information Censorship at Midland town hall Dear Editor: The March 11, 1985, action of the majority of Midland council of designating and giving Midland's municipal Clerk, Fred Flood, discretionary authority to decide what printed material can be left at town hall for the in- formation of the public, is a violation of the Canada's Charter or Rights, illegal and most decidely inoperative. The legislation giving effect to the new cen- sorship rule reads: "All items to be on public display, i.e., on counters and so forth, be done so al the 'discretion' of the clerk.

It is now conceivable, that certain local, provincial and federal politicians who feel jilted and are unhappy about the press they are receiving, could get their political friends on Midland council, to effect a ban on the distribution of any publication they may disapprove of, within the confines of the municipal building.
