MANY CONSUMERS
OWE FOR WATER
SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOL
LARS ON VILLAGE BOOKS
AND THIS MUST
BE PAID.

According 10 President Schumacher
and secretary of the water board. John
j. Ellis, Jr.. the delinquent water tax
in Red Jacket is steadily growing, and
becoming menace 20 the water fund
The council will so into this matter
very fully at the next regular meeting,
and steps likely will be taken to coll
lect the delinquent taxes. Stringent
measures will be taken the most eff
fective of which will be .huttlng off
the water to users whose water taxes
have not been paid.
Ii Is said water consumers owe the
village several thousands of dollars
and so serious has the matter become
that the officials are sitting up and
taking notice.
If the accounts are not squared be
tween now and the next regular meet
ing, the first Tuesday evening I'm June,

MUST GET PERMIT.
Under No Other Conditions Can One
Garry Concealed Weapons.

IIOld-up men casual gun-toters. and
women with long barber hat pins. will
all feel the weight of the new law
signed last week by Governor Osborn,
regulating the carrying of concealed
weapons
The old low against carrying weap-
ons has become worn out and ineffect-
i've. There was always the excuse that
gun, knife ar billy was necessary to
protect its owner against some special
danger. There are cases where per-
sons apply for permission to go arm
ed. If such people hold positions with
banks or with other concerns where
they might be called upon to guard
property, they should he sworn i'm as
special officers. 1t is difficult mat
ter to take the responsibilities of al
lowing people to carry a gun.
The new law requires that no one
shall have concealed on his person
any weapon except through special
permi sion obtained from a board
made up of the sheriff, prosecuting at
torncy and-in cities where there Is
an organized police force-the chief of
police.
The reasons for carrying the weap-
ons are to he set forth i'm an applica-
ton and at any time a permit may
he revoked. Mining companies, banks
and other corporations may secure
bank permits authorizing their en-
DlOyps To- 90 armed i'm protecting DrOp-
erty. The board of regulation shall
meet each month.
In the list Of dirks, daggers. stilet-
tos, brass knucklcs and ether weap-
ons of offense, hat pins with points
more than ten inches long are included
and Imprisonment for not more than
$500 confronts the woman who decor
ates herself with the rapier hatpins
now In vogue.
