It is not necessary now to resurrect the details of those days; suffice it that with the advent of the commission came a new and bet ter onlol‘ of things in the police de- partment of the town. It will not be overlooked, either, that the councils of these days do not show any superior ability to deal with difficult matters of that sort, as compared with their predecessors. Late developments offer little induce- ment to put anything more into the council's hands. Aid.
