cal year ending May IS, 1880 have been
acc Ounted for, except license No. PAT for
Michael Corley Tor s. so. The ago
has proper vouchers for all warrants
drawn by him.
We find that the Mayor in his capa j.
ty of er ofCi0 Jnstice OF the Peace does
not keep q docket; we deem it very nee
essary that this book should be kept aud
that all cases brought before him should
be properly entered therein and what dis
position he makes of them. We would
also call the Mayors attention to the ne
cessity of signing the minutes and the
stubs in the warrant book. The license
bill should be made and passed at once

made SO as TO take up the floating indebt-
edncss of the town. We estimate the
