Extra Police Seem Effective.

Whether it is due to the extra police
which the Town Council has appoint
ed to act as Especial police" for Satur.
day and Sunday Of each week or not,
is a question; but it is a noticeable fact,
that since the service of the Especial
police" began that there has been quite
a decrease in the number OF arrests;
therefore, it is presumable that their
appearance is a silent force which is
benefitting the moral condition, or at
least the disorderly conduct which has
more recently been so pronounced upon
the streets Of Milford 1t is hoped that
this condition Of few arrests will con-
tinue, as it speaks well for the town and
community.
