The Town Bell o Signal for Thieves and
ElrebugS to Begin Their Work.

Editor The TINES:
Will YOU allow me space to enter pro-
test against q foolish custom?
had hoped that our new town council
would discontinue the ordinance that re-
ouires the policeman to ring the town bell
each hour Of the night. This bell is at the
town hall, south OF the court house piazza,
and about 400 yards from the business
block. To strike this bell each hour Of the
night the policeman must leave the vital
point of his watch and traverse this dis.
lance, climb long flight Of steps and en-
ter an apartment The time required to
do this gives ample time for them to smash
a glass and abstract two double-barrel
guns, force window. rob and fire build
ing, or open warehouse door with false
KEYS and carry away sacks of coffee and
rice.
Why such foolish, absurd, ridiculous
and costly custom to property owners
should be persisted in is beyond the power
Of my reasoning faculties.
The ringing of the bell is entirely un-
necessary, but if considered indispensable
to keep policeman on duty, then why not
hang It OF the plaza, say midway between
the northeast and northwest corner of the
same?
1t seems. too, that prudence would sug-
gest that the police be ordered to allow no
person to remain with them after certain
reasonable hour of the night, aud that they
be instructed to accost each and every e!tl-
zen seen on the streets after said hour
whose actions seem at al suspicious, and
that thel. names and the hour be noted for
future reference. 4. 5. ERWIN.
