manner in which he conducted thoaa

was of a different mind and directed
that If there were wrongdoers in the
Government service whom the criminal
laws could reach, the Department of
Justice should proceed at once against
them.

Considerable complaint is made of the
electric road people throwing the snow
from the UniOn-street track to the road
way ON either side, and the matter is
likely to be discussed i'll Council next
meeting.
But complaint and Discussion amount
to nothing.
Action, action, ACTION, ACTION,
ACTION is what is wanted.
Two-thirds of 1S1 votes east last spring
We're distinctly i'll favor of ascertaining
the relation between the paving kickers
and the town on the one hand, and be-
tween the town and electric road on
the other.
In the one instance, it has been found
that the town belongs to Union street
but nothing, absolutely nothing has
been done to discover whether the road
owns Union street or not.
If it owns that street it owns the town
and can throw snow from its track in
the doorways of stores and houses if it
likes.
The road needs IA lift to points just
outside of the corporate limits to bring
it to its senses, but the people are not
brave enough to do it.
Latcr-The block-up of Grant-street

is worse than on Union street, and COM
