Trusnee w. M. Jackson is in charge of
the numbering of the residences and
business places of the village, and to this
end has been obliged to make a sort of a
preliminary survey of the streets, in or
der to ascertain the number and location

expressed by some, the cost of the num-
boring of the houses will be borne by the
householders, and not by the village. The
cost of this, however, is but slight.
Hermon L. Williams, who ran a

Marshall Butterfeld, the present chief
of police in this town. states that the
item in the Register of last week, in

Clayton n. Dickinson as chief of police
is not strictly correct. Since 1904 the
law has required that bond of $4,000
shall be given by candidates for the posi-
ton as chief and as no person has quail
flied for the position up to this spring,
there has-strictly speaking-been no
chief of police since that time.
