A, BASSETT Lawyer Slams Liquor Act TORONTO (CP)---A Toronto lawyer condemned Ontario's Liquor Control Act and the province's bail procedures Mon- day before a one-man royal|' commission on civil rights. The lawyer, William Horkins, taid many provisions of the Liquor Control Act are repug- nant to legal principles and the concept of liberty of the individ- ual, A section that allows police to search any building merely on the suspicion that liquor might be kept there for sale was termed an astounding piece of legislation. Mr. Horkins told the commis- sioner, former chief justice J. C. McRuer of the Supreme Court 0 of Ontario, reason why a policeman cannot obtain a search warrant if he thinks there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe an offence is being committed. Yet, without a search war- rant, a policeman can search any building at all on the pre- text that he is looking for liquor. Mr. Horkins called this 'unjustifiable and inherently dangerous," He said another section of the Liquor Control Act puts the onus on a suspected bootlegger to prove his innocence, The prosecutor has only to allege that an offence had been com- mitted. Under this section, Mr. Hor- kins said, a policeman "could force his way into my home at any time, could seize liquor, could charge me either with illegal possession or with keep- ing it for sale, and the onus would be upon me to demon- _there is no o strate my innocence.' 5 9 p.m. until after 1 a.m., came well prepared -- with a pocket book, which she'said was not as spicy as the cover indicated. In between calls from polling stations, which she directed to other girls tabulating results, Miss Fair read her book. "T was thinking of bringing a radio but' I guess I wouldn't have heard anything but elec- tion news anyway," she told a Times reporter. Miss Fair was just one of 22 city hall staffers who, along with city clerk and returning officer Roy Barrand, kept elec- tion machinery running smoothly. And although elections are al- ways serious business, the night was not without its amusing and sad eyents. One girl on duty suffered from sore feet, so she took her shoes off. Another, whose job entailed plenty of walking, jokingly sug- gested she might claim for mile- age. An elderly deputy returning officer entered city hall with her ballot box and fainted. She was revived, drank a glass of water and after a short rest left for home -- smiling. RETURNING OFFICERS Two hunired and seventy-two deputy returning officers and poll clerks, 26 election assis- tants, 62 special constables and The last two polls to report at about 1.30 a.m. were Number 99 at 66 Harmony road south and Number 31 at 161 Mill street. The polls closed at 8 p.m. this year, one hour later than in 1962 but Mr. Barrand said the results were known earlier this year. The first poll to report, at 8.42 p.m., was number 69 located at 34\Townline road north. The deputy returning officer was Mrs. Samuel Gibbs and the clerk was Mrs. Vera. Maracle. Returns came in quickly and computers were used to keep running totals. Several deputy returning offi- cers, when they brought their ballot boxes to city hall, were indignant about the poor turnout of voters at their polling sta- tions. "It was terrible!' said one. "What a disgrace!' said an- other. BOXES SEALED The boxes were sealed and will be stored in city hall under lock and key for about! six months. Inquiries were received stead- ily throughout the day, said Mr. Barrand, but there were no major problems and all ques- a | telephone. tions were answered over the About 20 minutes before the polls closed, a voter called to} complain that he had to mark his ballot on an ironing board at complaint, that an oil cloth covered the pad on the board making it as hard as a table.
