good burgers find themselves without
enough eligible male inhabitants TO fill
the borough offices. Every voter in
the place is an official or two and it is
said some of them hold even more than
two offices.
This is just slightly opposed to pub
lie policy and the spirit of the law but
the offices are there and they have to
be filled and when each succeeding
election rolls around the voters pro-
ceed to fill them.
They are not satisfied however to
live even under this maxim that neces-
sity knows no law. They want to OBJ
serve the law and that they may not
hereafter be found to violate the law
