AS far as department goes. at least,
Walkerville is a model city Last month
there was just one case up before Po-
lice Magistrate Roberts, and 1T was a
minor violation Of the ordinance re-

was not single criminal case in the
police court during the month of Sep

Police Magistrate Roberts is required tc
make for the council will be necessarily
small and of minor Importance.

the hill, and the boys appreciate it.

of the fact, but it is true nevertheless
that Walkerville is the supply point fol
