herhad hot jakon the precaution to demand from tho complutntant i deposit of money in advnnco to cover the costs and that the complainant had left town aoon after tho case was dismissed ho said he

promptly knocked tho boy down the interesting aequcl to the story is that when the boy went home it was not to conrplain of the employer but to upbraid his parents for never having tauehthr to obey his complaint was not unjust to whonvjjhbuid a boy look for tho great lesson of obedience if not to his par ents a generation ago he might have got somo jjnowledeo of the vuiuq of discipline from the

reepeoted well i dare say that the council lors of 1876 had just as busy a time as those of 1926 will have and x am quite sure they looked after their duties just as conscientiously as will our chosen councillors of this year tney had plank sidewalks to build and to repair they had roads and bridges to build tjbey had coal oil street lamps to have attended to and cows pas turhur on the streets to

but frequently special meetings were call ed a meeting was held on the 26th of february when bylaws were pass ed providing that not moro than two liquor licenses begranted to etores and that the license fee be 20000 for the firsts time a rider was introduced into the bylaw that shops securing these liquor licenses be restricted to the sale of liquor only and have no connection with any other line of busi ness at this meeting the tavern license bylaw was again discussed and it was finally decided that the number of barrooms in acton be lim ited to three and that the license fee be 17500
