 An open hearing on the matter or sewer for Tcrryville avenue will be held and it is anticipated that number Of residents of that section will attend. It is known that there is considerable opposition to the installation Of sewer facfli- ties at this time. Some Of the tax payers Of that section own large strips of land frosting on the high way and they feel that the cost to carry out the project would be pro- hibitiNe.
 It is also possible that the mat ter Of increasing the present police force may be taken up and some action taken. 4 petition asking for two additional officers was received by the mayor a few weeks sgo from James r. Linnane of High street, to whose home burg ars at tempted to gain entrance d short time ago.

One of these is assigned to the office while the other patrols the center Of the city, From a. m. 10 S q. m.. only one officer is on duty and he is located in the office.
