will be the fireworks. This display
will be even more dazzling and ella
borate than former years. More
funds have been devoted to this

The committee on music has not
as vet completed their work and 1t
is very likely that two bands will be

Council Appoints Emory
After two nights in business ses-
sion members of City Council who
opposed the disappointment OF B. w:
Emory for night policeman, waved
the flag of truce and FINALLY agreed
TO allow him to be re-appolnted Dut
not until great pressure had Deen
brought to bear through petition
circulated among the business men
by friends of Emory, who protested
against his discharge. Councilman
Harrington who named an opponent
to Emory at Monday evenings
was given a lot of criticism for the
stand he took in the matter. 1t was
pointed out that at the last town
election Harrington and Langrel
were running for councilman from
the same ward and it was stated
that previous to the election, Lang
rell said he was opposed to the ap-
Dointment of Emory for police oftl-
Ger. 1t is thought this statement
caused the defeat of LangreL, ana
that Councilman Harrington was
elected instead. Friends who sup
DOrted Harrington at the election
were very indignant when they
found that he was apparently double
crossing them. However, the matter
is settled and Emory was sent for
at the close of the meeting and
sworn in. Chief of Police LOngfellow
did not get re-appointment and Will
he succeeded by Lester Kemp on
March 1st. Friends of LongfellOw
not knowing that he would be in the
list of those to be discharged dld
not make any effort to have him
refined, thinking that his job was
already assured. 1t is reported that
several interested citizens will in
terview City Council in behalf of
Chief of Police LOngfellOw on his
appointment.
