The three new members of Council,
Messrs. Edward G.. Lodge, w. T..
| Adamson and Ernest Struthers, will
not take their seats, according to a
decision handed down by Judge Starr
last Saturday morning. Instead the
old members, Percy Lodge, Allen B.
Black and Oliver w. Sheets will sit
until another election is held. 1t is
rumored that the new members would
make things hum after the first of
the year, but "All is WE'LL"
The household goods, also the hand
some dwelling of Frank j Roberts
will be sold Saturday at his premises
on Billings ave.
Along with those who have been
affected by Judge Stars decision on
Saturday morning last, is John Fl I.
Carter, reelected Constable for i've
year term. In conference with Mr..
Carter Sunday evening he claims that
he went to the proper gentlemen and
was sworn in and he not being booked
on law, asked if that was all. Upon
being informed in the affirmative, he
went on until Saturday evening last,
when Mr.. Carter was told by several
that he was powerless and could not
make any arrests. Mr.. Carter will
push this matter as he claims that he
obeyed the law and deserves justice.
Anyway we are positive that this office
could not be filled with more fidelity
| than it has in the past.
