He noted packers initially offered 23 cents a pound for hogs, but farmers are seeing about a half cent per pound more, equating to roughly $6,000 per market day for Ontario producers.

Suit Dismissed Against Bronte Reeve in Ontario Court
Justice E G Moorhouse dismissed a $10 000 action brought by ex councillor John Davidson against Reeve Millward of Bronte, with costs likely over $900. Davidson was expelled from a council meeting after telling the reeve to shut up and was later barred from seating without an accepted apology. Millward testified in a business like manner and the judge favored Millward’s account in the conflicting evidence. The suit against Davidson claimed wrongful expulsion from a council meeting.
