Some individual whophrenologically
possesses a number nine bump of inordi-
nate size might easily find gainful en-
ployment in Edgerton at the present
time. The problematists have confront
ed the city with a complex question
which no one here is able to solve with
the minutest degree of satisfaction. 1t
is this: where can suitable anchorage for
teams be had? In putting down cement
walks on Front street property owners
have failed to set hitching posts at the
curb line and he who wishes to hitch his
team must employ the services of a small
boy to hold them. Some of the business
men on the north side of the street con-
ceived the idea of putting in row of
hitching posts on the south side of the
street, but to this the south siders OBJ
jected, and to d man squirting from an
unbiased position, their objection was
sustained. The burning need for the
accommodation of "hitchers" is a market
square, place amply large and provided
with suitable posts for hitching purposes.
This would do away with hitching on
Front street, thereby saving the cutters
from being stamped out Of shape and at
the same time render the street more
clean and tidy and avoid many accidents.
1t is market place that the citizens are
casting about for, and any one who can
suggest a suitable place that can be
purchased at a reasonable price will be
reimbursed for all the pains and trouble
it costs to look it up.
