Tho suggestion made by Coun cilmnn Bonham at Tuesday even ing's council meeting contains much merit. He suggested that since the saloon men desired an ordinance changed so that they would not he compelled to pay more than the license fee obtain ing in Portland for the next six months, that it would seem like a good plan to also enter into a contract with the firemen and police officers to serve for a cer tain length of time. Tho value of this suggestion is realized when it is known that Portland must take over all existing con tracts made by tho city of St. Johns when merger is effected. Thus if the city of St. Johns should enter into a contract with the firemen and police officers whereby tho city of St. Johns agrees to retain their services for a certain period, they would bo retained on tho job by the city of Portland until the con tract expired, at least.

Such a contract would insure a paid fire depart ment and tho full complement An 01 policemen until trie contracts expire. Tho present policemen and firemen have been giving eminent satisfaction, arc resi dents of St. Johns, and tho peo ple in general would bo glad to have them retained. There should be no reasonable objec tion to such a contract on the TO START YOUR BOY IN A BUSINESS YOU MUST' FIRST HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK You never knew a father who didn't have an am bition to see his son well fixed some day in a BUSI NESS OF HIS OWN.
