The association members, and other citizens of the town have found difficulty, of late, in securing the servic of the con- stables during the late hours of ihe night, considering the fact that s sometimes hard to reach them by telephone. It necessary of course that the officers on their Dbeats nd there are sions when they annot be summoned by telephone in e their required. A committee has been appointed to ar- runge in some way to install a signal apparatus in the center of the town which will sist in calling the con- stables when they are needed. With an installation of this sort, great and the summon- ing of the constables will be a matter of simplicity. Just how the device will be built, has not been decided, but several experiments of different signals will be made. It is not the fact that the constables neglect their as they are deserving of great it occ services ville Drum Corps will cor:e tonight, when members of the corps will cn- deavor to have all tickets returned to the hands of the chairman of the com- mittee.
