concerning the situation sur rounding the village constable for claremont what will his position be since our village cop failed to land the townshpipplice job constable jack norton is paid 50 per year for police duty in the village if he responds to calls beyond its borders it is always at his own expense since the township have never reimbursed him folks bnthe street agree that constable norton should refusi to render aid on these outside appeals unless the township agree to pay since pickering now has a salaried officer they will be slow to see why they should pay our cop however if their own man is not available we feel sure a call attended in this neighborhood would be promptly paid incidentally we hear that jack will have two years pay due him this spring from the local
