proposition submitted concerning the
policing of the center and the freight
yard by the one man, the selectmen
are making no further move towards
the appointment of a policeman to be
on duty regularly. If the suggestion
advanced to the railroad is accepted
solution of the problem confronting
the local officials will be simplified
and Selectman Johnson has hopes
that favorable reply will be re-,
ceived.
The railroad is at present employ
ing Waterman to be on duty in the
vicinity Of the transfer station every
night and the selectmen feel that the
officer looking after the freight yards
could give up part of his time to
policing the center Of the town there
by making the appointment of
regular patrolman unnecessary.
1t is figured that it would cost the
town approximately $1,000 a year to
EN- ploy a policeman and If a deal can
be made with the railroad the expense
would probably be divided
The town has made no appropria-
ton for policing the streets but stat
ute provisions make it possible for
the selectmen to spend whatever
venting violation of the law. They
propose to take advantage Of this
privilege, sentiment seemingly being
favorable to such action, at least I'M
til the voters assembl again at the
adjourned annual town meeting in
January.
Constable Marine will continue on
duty at the center until the select
me make other rran9ene0

Complain About Water.
Complaints are again heard regard
Ing the water served to the town and
there is considerable criticism of the
water company for it's action in dis
continuing the operation of the pumps
and resorting to the reservoir supply.
warm fall has apparently been IA
vorable to the growth of vegetable
matter in the reservoir and as a re-
suit the water carries an odor and
has most unpleasant taste.
Analysis, however shows it to be
pure.
The belief is held that in their eff
forts to be economical the water
company has been premature in 60
ing back to the reservoir supply.
