THE COUNCIL MEETING.
Wednesday of this week. the monthly
meeting OF the town council. will be held.
The principal thing OF interest 10 come
up at the meeting is the BARRIERS bill.
A month ago there was a petition pre-
sented TO the council by n number of the
local tonsorial artists. asking that the
bill be made applicable TO this town The
town fathers at first deferred action In
regard TO the matter for two weeks, in
order to get more fully informed in re-
gard to the matter and then, as there
seemed 10 be some opposition on the part
Of the BARRIERS In the north end OF the
town deferred the matter 10 this week,
for the purpose of giving 1t a hearing.
The hearing will he held at o'clock.
and IL is expected that the BARRIERS who
object, will make strenuous opposition
to the adoption of the measure. The
reason that they object, II is said. Is be-
cause they would have TO go 10 consider
able expense I'm order 20 comply with the
provisions OF the law. They do not have
running water. and they claim that the
fixtures they would have 10 put in would
be expensive. and the hardship which
they would suffer. would not be justified
by the amount OF business which they
do.
