The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1900-02-10

ly disturbed over the claim SCI
up by the Board of Mississippi
Levee Commissioners claiming
these lands or back takes thereon,
and,
! Whereas; 1t is matter OF
such deep moment not only tc
those people but to our entire
county. We therefore deem il
our duty to make some public ex-
preston thereon, We are not
cognizant of the legal technlcali-
ties involved and not being law
yers we can express no opinion
thereon, but inasmuch rs the
Levee Board has published to the
world that their claim is doubtful
we deem it but just and right
that these our people should at
least have the benefit of this
doubt and doubly so as much as
/ they have fer the last IS years re-
garded their titles rs good, and
have been contributing their taxes
to the maintenance of the Levee
Board without a murmur and more
still since the legislature of the
state has to quiet these titles and
put at rest this doubtful claim of
the board. We therefore hope
that our legislature will see fit to
pass an act which has recently
been published, and which large
number of our citizens have me-
moralized the legislature therefor
quitclaiming whatever title the
Lev9e Board has at the nominal
cost of the execution of the deed.
