There is trouble on Oak street over
a mistake in the locating of the street
line. About five years ago George Stevens
purchased of the Oneida community
the tract OF land on Oak street run
ming west from Dam Mitchell's proper
ty to w. A. Curtis lot, a distance of
about 27O feet. As the fence originally
on the South street line had used up
and the exact street line not known to
MIR. Bradley, the Community's agent,
"A. D. Mclean, made a survey and
map with measurements which called
for 108 feet east on land of Dan Mitchell,
and on north by highway. AS the
surveyor was not acquainted with the
landmarks he made a decided mistake
and located the street Nne just 10
feet too far NORTH as Dam Mitchell 8
deed only calls for SO feet and runs to
the same point as Stevens lot. A few
weeks since Stevens sold the property
to Albert Guyott, who has put up a
house and it proves that the entire YER
andah is oalt on the street, as the cor
ner of the house is just on the line Of
the street. There are certain points Of
the original fence left to locate the old
line of road and as Guyott was about
to put fence the entire front of
his property and 10 feet into the high
way r. S. Austin, who owns the prop
erty on the opposite side of the street,
has notified him than an injunction
would be served If the attempt was
made. All that remains for Guyott to
do is to go for Stevens and he to go
for the Community's agent for selling
property that did not belong to them,
but toythe borough as highway Guy
oft is naturally indignant over the
matter and states that he will make
Stevens settle for all expenses that may
be incurred.
For some time past there has ap-
peared at different times in some of
the out of town papers malicious and
aibelous articles rejecting upon the
character of several of our prominent
citizens, containing insinuations and
misquoting. conversations and crediting
ito them statements that We're never
made. The attacks have mostly reflect
ed ON Judge Hubbard, Colonel Leaven-
worth and Representatives Newton and
Hough, all who happened to be staunch
republicans. The attacks have all
emanated from the same source and
are easily traceable to the same per-
sons, who have, or fancy they have
reasons, for their undetermined attacks.
The whole is under the cloak of the
electric light question. The attacks
have been scandalous and the authors
should attend to their legitimate bust
ness, if they have any, and not attempt
to throw discredit upon our citizens
who command the respect of the great
majority of our citizens and taxpayers.
The defeat at the polls on election
day last fall still rankles in the minds
of some of the disappointed office
seekers, who seek to vent their spite
ON the more successful ones.
