To tie Legal Voters Of tie Tom Of Rut-
land
In the year 1862 Michael Hanse lived in
my house, in the village of Rutland, and
in that year he, while at work on the Rip
ley block, on Merchants row, received n
severe injury from fall, entirely disabling
him for some two years / believe. Soon
after the accident applied to Mr.. Wing,
overseer of the poor, to remove him to the
town farm or TO pay his rent, and Mr..
Wing said it would be cheaper to let Hanse
remain in the house, as his family could
earn large part Of their support while ia
the village, and if would let him live in
the house until the next March meeting he
would recommend that the town vote TO
pay all the rent up to the time of said
meeting, and agreed to do so, and at said
meeting made an application in writing
asking for $40 rent up to that date, and
also offering to let him remain in my house
| as long rs said meeting or the town would
| pay 50. 80 per month, said time not 10 20
beyond the LIST of April, 1864
The meeting voted the $40 OF back
rent and also that the overseer might pay
such other rent or make such other pro
vision as he might deem neediul. Mr..
| Wing offered to pay the rent during the
| year or until he gave notice to the contrary
at the rate of SO so per month. Mr. Ilanse
continued to live in the house until April
|, 1864, and then he began to pay the rent
himself. at $50 per month.
Mr.. Wing never notified me that he
would not pay said future rent, but he
never paid any of it, nor did he ever pay
any of the $40 of back rent, and | have
never done anything about it, and now
ask the town to pay me the above amount
with the interest thereon.

toned in the petition, said that it was Out
lswed and moved that the resolution he

beng put to the meeting declared in the
affirmative.

To the Tom Of Rutldnd
Isppeal TO you for justice, which know
AL
public sewer which runs through my lot,
corner of Howe and Forrest streets, in the
village of Rutland. This sewer was lsid
about three years ago, and on account of
its imperfect condition have incurred con
niderable damage during the past two years
| had recourse to the village trustees for
indemnity, aud the only ieparation done
was few loads Of gravel, which is not on
a par with the soil Of my lot, through
which this sewer runs, and which WIS
swept away by its unsafe condition. Con
sequently. you will allow that | should
have a more reasonable soil than gravel,
which grows rothng. propose to leave
the reasonable settlement Of this damage to
any two men appointed by this meeting.
