However, they have no firm leads or suspects. Chief King says he is not sure if all the acts of vandalism which occurred this past weekend are connected but that he is inclined to think they are. He says he' is also inclined to think that the vandals were under the influence of alcohol. Chief King says there are usually more acts of vandalism in the warmer months . because people tend to stay out later at night. Vandalism or acts of wilful damage are hard to control and the culprits are hard to track down because there are usually no real reasons behind the destruction, he says. The Chief says the police will be spreading themselves out more on patrol. Concentrating on one certain area is not good , policing, he feels, because the vandals will simply act in another area that is not being policed. The police can't be everywhere at once though, he explains.

He said the vandals could have received a bad electrical shock and possibly been "electrocuted. He said the lights were designed to blow a fuse if something happened to them but pointed out that anything was possible. He said the safety features are by no means foolproof. Police chief Pat King said he planned to have foot patrols in Court House Park stepped up. The chief noted that people head outdoors in the warm weather and Court House Park is a natural place to gather.

Palmer said she was totally against the resurfacing of the -road on Catherine Street but added the residents had a valid claim to curbs and gutters. Reeve Bob Allen defended the request saying the residents hada right to ask under the Local Improvement Act. Hunter suggested the road was sufficient for town traffic and was low on the list of priorities. Under the act the residents will share the cost of the project based on frontage measurements.
