ZICK APPOINTED JUSTICE OF PEACE FOR THE COUNTY Mr. Norman Zick, Waterloo‘s town clerk, has been appointed a Justice of the Peace for Waterico County by the Provincial Government, takâ€" ing the oath of office on Thursday last in the office of Crown Attorney Bowlby at the Court House in Kitchâ€" ener. By his appointment the town of Wiaterloo now has its own Jusâ€" tice of the Peace, his duties inâ€" cluding a certain amount of police work hitherto looked after by Magâ€" istrate J. J. A. Weir who was freâ€" quently obliged to come up from Kitchener to allowâ€" prisoners out on remand until the case could be heard.
