and a list of complaints are being made every week in the winter season when the snow is on the ground it has been the custom to become a bit lax about enforcement of the law but that season has not arrived yet if the bylaw is to remain law it should be obeyed and a letter to the editor suggests that the council should request the police to use more vigilance in this matter 1 for their
