Charles C~r spoke on the proposed new garage licensing by- law for a group of 25 operators of garages. Be contended that the amount of the licence fees, as set out in the By-law, amounted to another tax, not a licence, for which a service would be given.

He stated he had to com~ete with garage operators in other municipalities where a '5.00 or no Township licence is required. He stated the province regulates their business with fees from $10.00 to $25.00 and gives them service for the licence fee, and any further licence by the Township is unnecessary and unwarranted - but he would not object to the present $5.00 licence.
