TWO FOOD BY-LAWS FOR CITY COUNCIL Wil Be Dealt With at the Meeting on Thursday Night Regulation of food vending in Oshawa brings two -laws before the City Council Thurslay night, Dr. T. W. G.

The: one is the rest- aurant by-law which is designed to regulate all cafes, lunch rooms and kitchens where food offered for sale may be-prepared; the other, which supplements the. proposed restaur- ant regulations, covers the sale of meat, poultry, flesh; fish and fruit. This by-law will give the city sume mary powers in the administration of grocery stores, butcher shops, fish stores, and fruit stands. Food offered for sale on the public mar- ket vended through the streets will likewise be subject to city regulation and summary enforcement.
