The judgement states that the munici- pality was within its rights in pass- ing such a by-law and that it was quite proper in its form, according to town solicitor B. B. Jordan who reported the judgment to council Monday. The action taken by Mr. Parisi of Paris Auto Supply to have the by-law quashed was dismissed in favor of the municipality of Rich- mond Hill with costs if demanded. As the by-law stands it is illegal to wreck cars within the municipal- ity but. it is quite lawful to sell the used par‘l; provided cars from which parts are taken are not wrecked here. King George VI Received Works of Local Author William Guy C’arr of Richmond Hill was singularly honored during the recent Royal visit by having his three books accepted by his Majesty King George VI. The books “By Guess and By God”, “Hell’s Angels of the Deep” and “Brass Hats and Bell Bottomed Trousers” were all specially bound in finest leather and presented to His Majesty on the ROyal Train. >' “By Guess and‘ By God” deals with the heroic deeds of the B-ritish sub- marine service during the war. It was in this service that Mr. Carr served during the Great War. “Hell’s Angels of the Deep” is Mr. Carr’s autobiography and “Brass Hats and Bell Bottomed Trousers” is his latest work and records the thrilling adventures of officers and men from the outbreak of war to the Battle of Jutland, who served in the famous “Harwich Striking Forces” of the British navy. A copy of the letter received from His Majesty’s assistant private sec- retary follows: Dear Mr. Carr, The lowly King City team will supply the Opposition next Tuesday night and aided by a Chinese pitcher should prove more powerful than in ttheir first meeting- With the local club. Their Majesties have asked me to thank you sincerely for your letter of May 29th, and for the three vol- umes of your works which you have been so kind as to send for the King’s acceptance. His Majesty is glad to accept them, and they will be taken back to England with us. Yours sincerely, Sd. M. E. Ad'eane, Assistant Privaté Secretary. William Guy Carr Esq.
