Newton for a statement and was told that his statement would be published in another newspaper. The newspaper which published the Mayor's statement is printed in a town 100 miles from Massena. Mayor Newton made no attempt to answer through The Observer news aritcles and letters which have appeared in the past few issues of The Observer. People who read the Mayor's statement in the out of town news- paper were confused as to the exact meaning. The Mayor declar- ed that the board was in jfavor of home rule. Speakers who talked | on this amendment to the Consti- tution before the November elec- tion emphasized its desirability, that it was a great aid to New York City. This community voted in favor of that amendment. The Mayor says: \The state- ment made by some Individuals who arq not informed of the situ*-. . . tion are incorrect.

That earning was for 1937, a year in which a great many ad- ditions and replacements were made, also $7,500 in water supply bonds were retired with interest of $7,425. Thte sophisticated comedy of Vandy Vape's \Singing Satires\ will be presented Monday, Jan. 9, at Malone and Tuesday, Jan. 10 at Ogdensburg to members of the Cooperative Concert Association as thje second offering of the 1938- 39 series of concerts.

PROJECTS HELP TO KEEP DOWN RELIEF OASES While Miss Cape's forthcoming engagement will mark her' first appearance in the North Country, her accompanist, Collins Smith, will bje remembered to last year's audience at the Dilling-Hubert concert as the excellent concert pianist who accompanied Mr. Hu- bert, Cellist. Miss Cape has likewise been thoroughly educated in music andj has an extensive travel back-1 ground. Her debut in the music world!was as a concert singer and a career as a serious recital artist followed. Her innate flair for com- j edy, hjowever, often led her to give dllage corporation so long as the water department has any bonded debt and the village-has no idea of using any of the funds * at this! time.\ While Mayor Newton vigorously declares that the village will not use water company money for vil- lage purposes, yet the very resolu- tion which was adopted; by the board mentions specifically that the purpose is to secure a law which would permit Massena vil- TOWN CLERK'S RECEIPTS SHOW RECORO YEAR The largest annual receipts at the town clerk's office were report- ed for ,1938 by F.

Orviai St., was elected trustee to serve three years. \ Plans are being made to install elective and appointive officers on Thursday, Jan. I9 a out any public discussion, when \Mayor Newton vows that the iioney will not be used for village purposes, cannot be seen. Another point that is brought up.bjv those discussing the matter ia just why the Mayor is so anxious fjo have the legislature enact thc law when this village does, not expect! to get any benefit from it, as long as there is an outstanding indebted- rcss on the water department. Instead of clarifying the issue with a public statement, Mayor Newton has befogged the issue, it is believed. Those who haVe been supporting Mayor Newfcjm on many of the issues believe that he is making a great mistake in bringing pressure to bear <?n this particular point, that if the board believes in the resolution that It should back it up, push it through, without making any public state- ments that the village tward does not intend to carry out the pro- visions in the resolutions anyway. It seems very doubtful if the assemblyman and senator will do very much toward getting the resolution enacted into law by the state legislature as long as there is such often resentment in Mas- sena. Another point that careful ob- servers are bringing up is that Mayor Newton says in his public statement that the water depart- ment earns only $.\1 a year. 'According to the published re- port of the water superintendent last April, the total operating revenue for 1937 was $48,318.73, i village, ( The | matter was brought up at | last night's meeting of the village j board, i Clifford Weegar, chief of Massenla Volunteer Fire Depart- ment, naked that a new alarm be installed at the south side of the village since the one at the fire station cannot be heard in that section. Mr. Weegar said that 11 mem- bers of! the fire department live in the south side of the village and tell him that they did not attend severalJ fires because they did not hear the alarm. The jmatter will br» further in- vestigajted. Just what type of alarm would be installed is not known. town of Massena have increased in number nearly 35 per cent in four years, from 627 dogs licensed in 1935 to 625 in 1936 to 680 in Wdl and in 1938, 705. The number of conditional sales contracts filed last year was only] slightly over half the record break-1 ing number in 1937 when 1,030 were filed. Five hundred andf, eighty were filed in 1938. In 1935, only 345 of these contracts were filed and in 1936, 750 were filed. ! Shattel mortgages filed by Mr. {Hosmer in the past three yearsf have been about the same number i with 1937 slightly the largest year.

The special deer hunting licenses issued in Massena this year were considerably less in number than last year, the decrease being 70, from 582, the' 1037 record-break- ing number, to 006 in 1938, while in 1935 only 296 were issued and 399 in 1936. Last year proved to be the greatest year for hunting, trap- ping and fishing licenses when 1,187 were issued, nearly twice as many as issued in 1935. In 1936, 727 of these sportsmen's licenses were issued and in 1937, 1,073 were issued.
