discontinued after the experi ence of many citizens on sunday night or monday morning who dis covered that someone other than the milk vendor took the money m03t of the pilfering took place on main street and up church street and it is estimated that about 25 was taken in all this was evi dently the work of one who knows the tlie habit of our people in putt ing out money for milk tickets the perpetrators of this act ought to have more respect for the milk bot tle on which they were raised than to try and get aneasy living off it in their more mature years as when they were babies and couldnt help themselves as the community has no form of police protection the matter will pass without the author ities taking any action to run down the guilty ones in future the milk vendors will likely make some other arrangements to get tickets into the hands of their custome horticultural society public meeting next wednesday watch for it the council have decided to en gage a policeman for

over the council reducing the pay from so cents per practice to 25 cents the extend of the difference is scarcely worth haggling over mun icipal management depends largely upon the cooperation of the citizens and if all the officers of a village councillors school trustees or board of health members demand pay for any little service rendered the success of our present good munici pal government would be at stake in the case of firemen however their is a risk to life and limb as well as clothing destroyed but the amount of time they are called upon to devote to their duties each year is very small compared to some other offices the firemen should be allowed to maintain a benefit fund and we venture the opinion that it would be easily maintained by public subscription in case of incident
