But he also must have been the owner of a wagon train at least twenty miles long. Being on the Jump all his life, at least long enough to stay ahead of law officers with a craving to. make a target out of his carcass, we doubt that James ever owned anything except the horse he rode, the clothing he Wore and possible a gun or two. However, we could be wrong, for according to all the news releases that some news- papers print both here and in the United States, he must have owned a wagon train of at least twenty to thirty wag- ons. It would take this many just to carry the guns he sup- posedly owned. ALTHOUGH USING LADY. LIKE LANGUAGE, one female taxpayer asked this week why the promoters of Tree Plant- ing in this fair city should be mum; to nick the public for $7.00 a but when the private buyer can obtain any number of them for 84.iitt, nearly half the price quoted. She agreed the idea of the planting was excellent, but couldn't reconcile her thinking to the cost. She pointed out that she had purchased eight and nine foot Norway maple from amursery and had, found them excellent. The nursery had guaranteed to replace the tree for half the price if it died. Her opinion that the trees offered at $7.00 were far too expensive is shared by a great many other people in Water- loo. she said.- WI MW HAVE A NUMBER of complaints on starlin s, but we would very much fit, to have a few more before we organize a shooting party. As you know, we ean't kill all these birds, but the shoot- ing will kill many of them and drive the others away from the vicinity of thoe register- ing the complaint. Trouble is that the recipients of this winged bounty will then call in their complaint and the birds will be driven back to where they came from. This kind of manouvering could be done away with if everyone being bothered by these dirty birds would call in during the next couple of weeks. Then a large group of shooters could be sent out and the birds that survive would end up where they belong . . . down in Kitchener. This week they are doing a little work along some of the curbs in the suburban city When we journeyed there on may morning, the crew that was working, (there were other who weren‘t). were all bending their efforts at "one" corner. at lust a block or two short of the are: that was pro- hibited to parking.

The decision was made Mon- day on recommendation of the city traffic and transportation committee, in an effort to curb speeding in the city. Mailman Needs Ruler Skates At Waterloo Collegiate The purchase of a $2,130 radar speed meter has been ap proved by the Waterloo Police Commission. The meter which is equip. ped with a recorder, gives a permanent record of speeds. When a car is registered over the speed limit the officer marks the license number on the glth and the recorder shows the time. Such graphs, similar to those used in elec- trocardiograph and lie detector work, can be used as evidence in court.

Post office officials in Wat- erloo have advised the K-W High School Board that postal regulations decree the mailing entry of a building must not be more than 125 feet from the sidewalk, or a building must be less than 125 feet from the next building getting postal service in order to get delivery. Mailmen will not deliver mail to the new Waterloo Col. legiate because it is more than 125 feet from the sidewalk to the front door. The board will ask Ontario Liberal leader Wintermeyer to support the resolution next September when it comes " The Waterloo Collegiate is more than 125 feet from the nearest house on Columbia Street, and the front door is about 175 feet from Hazel Street, on which the Colleg- iate fronts. in other business it has been approved by the local high school board an Ontario School Trustees Council resol- ution asking that retroactive adjustments be made in grants on schools built between 1953 and 1958. Other arrangements conse~ quently have to be made for the new.co11egiate to get its mail. The possibility of a box being erected close to nearby residences is being investigat- ed. The legislature will be re quested to increase grants on schools built during that per- iod resulting from grant regu- lations effective tbm that since have been changed to in- crease grants.

Many facts would have to be assembled before he could make a decision, he add- Mayor Bauer of Waterloo said an integrated force is "de. finitely workable" under cers tain circumstances and would provide substantial savings to the taxpayers with absolutely no loan in eftieirmrry in either department. “But to suggest it's the ans. wer for every municipality is just as ridiculous as to sug- gest it won't work in any cen- tre," he said. ‘He stated, “Only by increas- ing the effectiveness of each individual can we hope to core trol the cost of these services and be able to compete with the rest of the world." The mayor said new ap- proaches are needed to solve the problems connected with the workings of an integrated force. The cost of providing police and firtt ”nice: in.
