of consideration.

Grafton was paid. The courts decided
that the property belonged 10 Mr..
Matteson. He will row present bill Of
damages before the town council, with
a request that the bill be paid. The
council will either have to allow the Dill
compromise II they can or fight law
suit. Another matter OF Importance
that will come before that body is the
appointment of special constables to
enforce the law in regard to track
walking. There is great amount or
walking tracks in the valley by labor
ers, in going to and fro to their work.
The tracks are the cross cuts, but they
are dangerous, and life is imperiled

enforced strong opposition to the
council Is made and IL not the law Is
ignored and lives are dmperilled.
