The board has authority on its own initiative to employ a night police man, but felt it would prefer the in dorsement of the voters on the ques tion, and as the vote was a tie they are still somewhat at sea as to the wishes of the majority of the tax payers. Those favoring the employment of a night man are citing the fact that without someone to get the mail chairmanship of the senate finance committee, after a discussion today of tax problems with President Hard ing.

This is a serious proposition so iar as the mail service is concerned, to say nothing of the othr advantages of a night policeman. At the rate of pay allowed in the past, the cost for this service would amount to about seven per cent of the total taxes levied or in other words, if one pays ten dolfars taxes for the year, seventy cents of this would go to help pay the salary of the nightwatchman. The village or Union last week was the victim of two partially success ful robberies, following the discon tinuance of the night police, and has quickly gone back to the employment of the night man.
