In the daytime they take care of court dut- ies and deliver summonses. In the eveni1.g' they have patrol work. I’ve been informed that two of our men were able to get sleep on only two nights of last week so strenuous have their duties been.” According to the warden, many of the municipalities were understaffed but their councils with an eye to curbing budget expenditures were do- ing nothing about it. “Instead.l they are passing the buck onto the coun- ty,” he said. “They are leaving us to bear the additional expenditures.” “Complaints from summer resort- ers in the Lake Simcoe area of un- ruly youths have led the commission to consider the situation seriously,” said Warden MacDonald. “We have come to the conclusion that the nor- thern municipalities should be better policed and with that in View intend making a few appointments.” Approval of the appointment ‘of additional men has been given by the county police commiSSion. The new officers are expected to be selecte'd within the next week.
