cussion at ”W forthcoming annual
tut-cling of ilic State liourd of TrudeI is
"The Trump Problem." The town of

got ahead of the Board of Trade and
took a fall out of the tramp problem
Saturday night. One of the resolutions

the town have wood at the town farm
illiti all tramps askiug lodging be fortk

cuicd under the vagrant and tramp

tion is eminently satisfactory, al-
though Ihc rhcioric of it might not ap-

historic town at our north.
