cil has given the signal for a renew- al of the old battle in behalf of the market square. They may be «sure lusty defenders will not be larking. Why this unfortunate town’s legisla- tors 'cannot leave its market plot alone is hard to understand. Last year’s council built the sguare propâ€" er into the“ compass of many a. far- mer’s poultry run, under cover of the excuse that, if it ever should be nea- aSSault upon that plot.
