Mr.. Editor: Not knowing who was elee.
tied High Constable at the last Borough
Election, would take this method of in.
forming him, or the proper officers of the
Borough, that some of our citizens are
imposed on, from the fact mat a quantity
|of timber, lumber, wagons, manure, &c,
|&c., have been hauied and scattered thro'
some of our Streets and alleys, making
them impossible for citizens to get to their
own barns and mows. 1t is to be hoped
that these things will be better attended
10 If officers are elected annually for
this purpose, why not attend to their du-
ties. A CITIZEN.
