We Fear Unfair Discrimination l Only this Week it was decreed by lToronto police that wedding parties will not be able to have noisy celeâ€" brations on the city streets in the future. All tafi-drivers will be notiâ€" fied that they must refrain from un- necessary soundingof the horn while travelling over the city streets. The action followed a complaint where a wedding party toured the streets for two hours, the car drivers sounding their horns almost continuously. Al- though a Richmond Hill Alderman was slated for a wedding ceremony in the Queen City this week it is defin- itely stated it had no connection with the publication of the decree.

They might feel the digniâ€" ty of their position if they did, and anyway, it would not be any more ridiculous than many requests that are granted.â€"Stouffville Tribune. Late Lewis S.
