The application of Charles Seymour Trillo, a taxi proprietor, for a motion ordering the quashing of Section 2, 3 and 4 of the Christchurch City bylaw No. 17, was not upheld when Mr Justice Adams gave a reserved judgment in the Supreme Court in Christchurch. The by-law forbids the use of a loud speaker In the streets to solicit patronage for taxis, such as Trillo uses near the railway station. The application was opposed by the Christchurch City Council. The motion was based on the grounds that the bylaw was unreasonable and ultra vires, that it was partial and unequal In its operation, and that it was oppressive. Thousands of housewives use Stevens’ Cathedral Brand Culinary Essence. They know the magic of its drops—they unfailingly give delicious flavours true to their name.
