testing against a road being forced

PLEASANT GREEN WARD.
March 20, 1896.
To the judge and Honorable body of
the County Cort of Salt Lake Co.
Gentlemen: Having heard that three
or four persons in this ward are seek
ing to induse the Cort to open a road
through a narrow strip of my land,
which would greatly injure me, [ am
led to hand i'll this as counter pc
tition and wish to state that when 1
sold the ecclesiastical association ten
acres as cemetery it was with the
understanding that the road should go
on the section line running north [
have left out a road 1910 rods in length.
[ have also left open 1920 rods in
length running directly west on the
section line in what is called little val
ley. |, however, abandoned my land
previously, for | have only just proved
up. Parties have trespassed through
my place while unfenoed where they
are now trying to get a road his
through 40 at the foot of the hill on
a strip of bottom land ten rods wide
by eighty long, which [ have cropped
with wheat. l wish further to state
that there is road running north and
south of Coon's canyon within three
fourths of a mile below my place, and
four rods east and west straight to
the mountains within a distance of
four miles from the western track. 1t
is not the taxpayers of Pleasant Green
who are petitioning for roads; it's Mr..
Spencer and Jacobs, together with
three or four others who have gone two
miles up into the mountains TO take
up some land there The road | have
given them on the section line they
are travelling and have done so for
months, and con take UP a load by
doubling any time. If a road is forced
through me to my injury, l should eX-
pect payment for the 2060 rods in
length of road now being travelad, as
well as the one they wish. Having eX-
planned matters as they are, L hope
you honorable body will take just
view of the matter. Yours respect
fully HAYDN l.. SMITH.

county surveyor.

To the Honorable County Court of
Salt Lake County:
We, the undersigned people who re-
side in the neighborhood of and in the
bottomland between the old Hornsil-
Yer and Germania shelters, where the
winneke brewery is situated, hereby
petition your honorable body for to
examine and take into consideration
what steps is necessary for to abate
the nuisance which the proprietor of
said brewery is creating in the CEN
ter of our surrounding lots and homes;
first, by the stencil which comes from
the sour refuse or swell from the brew
cry, and then feeding of the same to a
great number of hogs, who are kept
very dirty, wailowing in deep miro,
from which unbearable stencil arises,
and as many of said hogs dies for be-
ing kept on that unwholesome feed,
after which little hole is scratched in
the ground and partly covered With a
little dirt.
Gentlemens You can imagine what
poisoness odor that whole swine con-
Germ, both the living and the dead will
emit, especially when warmer weather
sets in, and we poor jewellers are COM
PEELED to live in and breathe such
poisonous air; and those who live in
that low place between the surround
ing benches and the railroad embank-
ment is forced to nearly have all that
stencil because that carbolic gass can
not very we'll ascend and drift away
We may still say that the pork of
those swine fed on such swill is not
sound food for human beings.
We hope that the honorable court
will promptly act in the matter and
we will ever pray.
