ion in an interesting and unique case
from Bethel, Pitt county. The legisla-
ture gave hat place a G1spensary and
required the town commissioners to
appoint two policemen. This they re-
fused to do. The opinion says that
under the circumstances the dispen-
sary commissioners should demand
that the town appoint policemen and
If it fails or refuses to do, then the
dispensary commissioners shall them
selves make the appointments. The
opinion says that unless this was done
the town would be given power to
