transacted routine business, but the mat
ter OF appointing day police officer was |
put over to the next meeting. Feb. 10.

bailins of any incorporated village whose
charter does not provide for the office
of chief of police the right to designate
4 chief of police, and gives such officer
the same power to serve both civil and
criminal papers that constable has with
If the bailiffs appoint a day
policeman they want man who has
authority to serve papers anywhere I'm
the state but at the present time Mr..
Han does not have this privilege, not
having been reappointed deputy sheriff.
The charter of the village of Brattle-
ooro does not give the bailiffs the power
to designate a chief of police and so Mr.. z
Han although he has been called chief
Of police. is merely night Waterman and
police officer in point of fact The new
law does not go into effect until Feb. 1.
and until then Mr. Hall will not have the
desired authority.
