"Caspar" Complains.

EDITOR BULLETIN-It was ex.
pected, when the new Mayor OF
Bolivar was elected by the people
in January last, that an attempt
would be made TO enforce the cor.
porate laws, as no effort to do SO
had been made for year or more,
and that the taxpayers would be
protected from notorious nuisances,
especially those relating to decency,
health and cleanliness.
But nothing has been done in that
way. Ordinances are openly VIC.
lated with impunity. If we have
laws, let us have them enforced, OF
let us have them repealed.
For one thing-the streets are for
the use of the public, Clear them
of plows, wagons, buggies, moving
machines, hay rakes, lumber, boxes
and other distractions. See that
no rubbish, whether an obstruction
or not, is thrown into the streets.
Read the printed ordinances, Mr..
Mayor. Enforce Section Is, Arti-
Gle l; Sections ,, 4, s, 10 of Ar
ticle 3; Section of Article 4; Sec
tions 4, 3, 6, I, s of Article 5. In
fact, why do you not compel the
proper officers to do their duty and
enforce all the town laws?
The laws were passed for the
comfort, protection and good of the
greater number Of the citizens, and
not for the private advantage of any
one person.
Why does not the Town Marshal
arrest all persons guilty of viola
tons of the laws? Take him away
from street work, get an engineer
to grade the streets before they are
reeklessly plOughed, then kill the
mule and burn the pillow. The
street committee are the proper
persons to attend to that work, and
some one who knows something
about how TO do the work should be
to have it done.
