All of the jury cases are for damages in con- nection with motor accidents. The most notable of these are the two cases in connection with an accident that happened near the skating rink at Guthrie last November, in which Joseph Packard, of Shanty Bay, and H. C. Middleton, of Toronto, figured. At the time the accident happened Packard, who was driving in a north- easterly direction, was just about to turn to his left in the direction of the I:_1g rink when he was struck `by 'ton s car, proceeding in . - the o,_ site direction. Considerable injury was done to the occupants of - the Packard car and the machine dam- ; : aged. Mrs. Packard s condition ' proved serious, while Mrs. Eva ' Roberts did not regain consciousness : for a. week. After investigation, Prov. Constable Fraser Bell laid a -` 1 l in the Orillia police court and later : successfully appealed this decision of charge of reckless driving against ` Packard. He was fined $50 and costs Magistrate McCaughrin, in County 1 Court before Judge Wismer. tn Tln-an wank: turn in Vnrlz Cnnnf.'J L;UUl'L DULOFL` uuuge VVISHIEI`. _ Three weeks ago in York County ` Court an action for damages brought 1 by Middeton against Packard was dis - missed with costs.

In disposing of the cases, Magis- trate Jeffs said the Crown had been more than generous in withdrawing the most serious charges, and he thought the accused should consider themselves very fortunate. Evidence was taken from Provin- I cial Constable W. F. Thompson, who arrested the men about 11 ` o clock on the night of May 20th at Georgiani s Garage on the Penetangl ( 1 Road, where he had been called ow- 1 ing to a disturbance the accused men . 'were making. On his arrival he`: ` found a Buick sedan in front of thel` ` garage. Brown was sitting on the V i right-hand side of the car and as I the ofcer approached was using abus- 5 ive and obscene language. Hanley was in the doorway of the garage.]` At the sight of the police he went to the back of the building and Thompson said he heard the sound of glass breaking. Later he picked up a broken whiskey bottle about 50 feet to the rear of the service station. .uvv 1 1 1 1, , 1 , _ ,,_1,_L mm; suspended. ` J. D.

He was l - glad. however, to see the citizens so ` _ public-spirited in wanting to improve - the streets. While he knew many ` - citizens objected to increasing the` - tax xrate, he felt that council would , - be justied in paving Peel St. He was not in favor of doing much pav- ing, as it did not help the unemploy- ed very much. Only a few key men were on the job, but council would see that the work was distributed among the unemployed as much as possible. yuan: uu..
