COUNCIL DECIDES FINE
|. WAS UNJUSTLY IMPOSED

An opinion that the fine imposed
on Samuel Kotzin, who operates a
soda fountain at King George and
Holland streets. was unjustly impos-
ed and that the amount of $2145
should be paid back by the city, was
offered TO and accepted by the City
Council at its regular meeting last
night.
Alr. Kotzin was fined some time ago
for the sale of goods on Sunday, June
s. and later applied for the return OF
the sum paid, claiming that the State
laws prohibiting Sunday sales was in
operative at the time of his arrest
and fining. The question was re-
ferred to Counselor Rullman, who
consulted the police officer and the
magistrate who had acted in the case.
They made the same statement as Mr.
kotzin as to the time of the act for
which the penalty had been imposed.
Since the state law was repealed
at the beginning of June it was evil
dent that the fine had been unjustly
imposed, ana an order passed the
Council, calling for the refund of the
fine that was collected.

CANNERS OF STATE
STILL IN TROUBLE

Tomato Gamers are in serious
straits because of the inability of the
can factories to supply them with the
number of cans needed to preserve
the present crop. Strikes both in the
can factories and the interruption of
transportation due to the railway tie
ups have contributed in bringing
about this shortage in cans, it is said.
With the crop ripening and no
means at hand for canning the major
portion of the tomatoes it is thought
vast quantities will be thrown on the
market. Tomato prices are expected
to tumble to very low levels.
