The woman editor of the Waupun
Times remarks: "The city of Water
town has unique standing committee
in its common council. This is the
committee on grievances. Perhaps
the citizens of that burg have more to
grieve over than we have, for thus far
our city farthers have never found it
necessary to establish such board"
We suppose the only reason for the
existence of this committee is to
'shonor' some alderman with another
craftsmanship. Nothing is ever re-
ferred to the committee unless it is a
joke.
