The Bruce County Council on Tuesday registered an emphatic protest against the use and working of motor lorries in the county on Sundays. Cr D. M‘Gregor said that it had become the practice for lorries to cart wool and other merchandise all day Sunday, and he considered that apart from being a desecration of the Sabbath this traffic tended to out in on the railways. Cr T. Scott remarked that he could no! understand why the drivers of these lorries were not penalised. “Why,” he asked, “should Chinamen be fined for working in their gardens on a Sunday, and these men be allowed to work in full view of the public and have nothing done to them?” The law should apply in both cases.
