call a public meeting and discuss this question and circulate a subscription and raise a sufficient sum to secure the ervices of a man who would devote his whole attention to the work of his ofice as constable it would pay the citizens of this village to give a man 500 a year to act in that capacity and do his duty it would be money well spent if the village cannot raise enough let it raise what it can and then ask the township council to upplement the amount with a sufficient sum the people of this village pay taxes far which they get little or no remunera- tion and the council is in duty bound to assist if that cannot be done then the ratepayers should secure an act of incor- poration when they could hare their own council and manage their own affairs then with an efficient police officer a chief magistrate who would impartially admin ister the law and a good iocknp free lodgings could be provided cur village would be all that could be desired and second to none felfowcitizens
