Bruce is a legal measure oapable of being enforced, or merely a farcial.joke to be laughed at in the Courts. is something' that the County may some day have to decide by a costly legal battle. As a sample of fool legislation, it has probably no counterpart outside an asylum. .and its presence in the County is an in- sult to the intelligence of the people. The suggestion that the residentg of Bruce can't hire an outside concert or emplby other talent and hang up or peddle bills for the affair. but must delegate the -job to a licensed _ bill- voster. is making an engine of the law to bully and tyrannize, fie peo- vle. We haven't heard of any at- tempt being made by the' police ~ to enforce the law in Bruce. but we do know of people who have paid exor- bitant sums to have their bills post- ed up and peddled because it is there. | If the measure has no legal value, as was maintained by the late county solicitor. then it is assuredly being used to bluff the people! in Bruce,-- Moe Meat baskets for sale at cost Gill.
