TOWN NOT USING

Taxpayers Wonder Why SIS Day Is
Paid for Other Teams on Main

Not a few taxpayers are wondering
why the town is paying SIS n day for
two teams on the Main street drainage
job when the two teams belonging to the
village are earning nothing.
In their annual report last May the
village commissioners pointed out that
several thousands of dollars had been
saved taxpayers by the towns use of
the village teams. When asked about
the present situation Commissioner Rob-
erts said he had called the matter to the
attention of the selectmen, but for some
reason they hadn't seen fit TO use the vii
lage horses or the men who are employed
to exercise them.

teams this winter" said Mr.. Roberts

abrogate the war powers OF congress As
sociate Justice Brandeis said in reading
the decision of the court Justice Brand
els said the government did not appro-
pirate the liquor by stopping It's domestic
sale, as the way was left open for ex
porting it,
Justice Brandcis also called attention
to the continued control of the railroads
and re-assumption of powers by the gov
eminent relative to coal and sugar under
war acts to show that the government con
tinues to exercise various war powers
despite the signing of the arm
istice The constitutional prohibition
amendment Is binding on the federal gov
eminent as well as the states and super
codes state laws, the court declared.
The judgment of the courts in the Ken
lucky and New York cases was unanimous
Justice Brandeis said there was no basis
for the contention that President Wilson's
statement in his message vetoing the pro-
hibtion enforcement act that the war had
come to an end was proclamation an
nouncing the termination of the war. In
rendering its opinion the court confined
itself entirely to the wartime prohibit
tion act and took no action on the so
called beer cases which attacked the con-
stitutionaity Of the prohibition enforce
ment act
No decision was rendered on the cases
/ involving the constitutionality of the
Volstead law, the prohibition enforce
ment act framed to carry out the intent
Of the prohibition amendment to the con
stitution. The court will render opin-
ions again next Monday at which time
the beer cases are expected to be deeid-
ed. after which the court will recess until
Jan. ,.
Upon the courts decision on the pro
hibition enforcement law will depend
whether the federal government has al
hand any legal means for making the
amendment effective. The constitution
atty of wartime prohibition, however, the
drys are confident, will keep the countr!
dry until the amendment is carried int
effect by law of its own.
