This has been made necessary owing to the small attendance during the hot weather. For the past season the prOprietors have done their best in contracting for good pictures and have been giving the public good service, but the hot weather simply knocks the attendance off to the van- ishing point.

We have been informed by a member of the Council that it is being repaired and will be in action “in :1 few days." One of our citizens suggests that perhaps it is the intention of the Council to have it in commis- sion in time for next winter, when it can be used as a roller to level down the snow. It is a puzzle to the av- erage citizen and business man why the Council has not had the wagon repaired long ago.

New Kind of Accident. l -Pe0ple nowadays have become used to auto accidents, and will be- lieve almost anything that can hapâ€" pen when one of these machines goes wrong. It has been a long time however, since we have had a genu- ine bicycle accident happen in town till last night Mr. Adam Watson and his wheel fell out, and if the wheel got any more than it handed to Adam it is certainly in poor shape. Mr. Watson is reported as riding along the highway in upper town, but just what happened is not definitely known. It is reported that the maâ€" chine developed a hind-wheel skid, and threw Mr. Wlatson into the fence and cut him up rather badly. Though not seriously injured, it took a few stitches to bind up the wounds he received. Installed An Intertype. are: W. Carson, (3. Petty, D. Marshâ€" all, B. Watson, G. Smallman, A. Picken, T.

All are invited. ’ â€"any citizen can do it, and if Dame Rumor has it correct, there are two or three people in town who are at present under suspicion of sneaking around the streets on Saturday and other nights, laying the informations and keeping their identity hidden. Some of these stoolâ€"pigeons are now under suspicion and are being wa’tched, with what results time resorted to in [the past couple of years to register convictions against motorists. ‘ “ On the other hand, parties leaving their cars parked on the highways with no lights leave themselves liable to prosecution, and over this, the Municipal Councils have no control. In casesiike this, it is not even me- cessary for the constable of any municipality to lay the information The Council is not in sympathy with the action resulting in recent fines, and we are certain the town as/a whole is opposed to such methods. To provide against danger to users of automobiles, they have thrown the Town Hall prOperty Open as a park- ing ground for all who wish to use it. The ground will bes” uitably lighted. other lights added as necessary, and persons leaving their cars there may if they wish, turn out all lights. We believe the Council wish it to be distinctly understood that reason- able ell‘ort should be used by' all parking on the public streets to use the lights the law requires and a- void possible trouble. The Council is a unit in wishing complete harmony between the town and auto users inor out of town, and while in sympathy with administer- ing the. traffic laws and meting out punishment where neglects are shown so as to be a menace to the public, the-y are not“ in sympathy with harsh treatment for minor of- fences or What might be shown to be outside the contrOI of the autoâ€" ists. They believe in offences being interpreted in t e intention or spirit of the law rath r than by the letter or the law as stated. It must not be inferred that autos can be parked on streets or public places without showing the lights required by the statutes. A This is a Provincial matter and Municipal Councils have no power to authorize parking in public places without lightS. i At a special meeting of the Town .Council on Friday night, Constable {Falconer was discharged with very Elittle ceremony when a resolution 3 was carried ordering him to quit the [job at once and turn in" his uniform. in was not because of inefficiency, but because of over-efficiency the Council took the course they did. When appointed a few months ago, he was warned not to be too exacting against automobiles for slight inL fractions of the law, and especially in cases when the owners might or might not be in any way responsible. The absence of a tail-light or the loss of a license number is noserious crime, and is often the result of ac- cident. Just recently, and without instruction from the Council, all of whom protest innocence, Mr. Falâ€" coner, it is alleged, made his rounds 'and secured the numbers of cars having no tail-light. The names of owners of the cars were ascertained. 4”}+++4"!‘71‘402‘4'4'4'4‘4‘4‘4‘4"?‘2'4‘4'4'4‘4'4‘4‘4‘4‘4‘4'4‘ On learning of the wholesale pro- secution, the Council became indig- nant, with the result, as above stat- ed, that the constable was dismissed without notice and an effort made to put through a resolution against the actions of the Police Magistrate and haxe the Council petition for his re- mox al from office.
