Therefore, I Would suggest that in the appoint ment of officers, a great saving can be effected. I would suggest ’that the night constable be dis missed as night constable and re-ap pointed as night watchman, be cause his services have been com prised to a small section of the Vil lage, therefore I would suggest that 'those receiving his services should remunerate him for such service as requested for by many of the rate payers.
