damaged directly when the dam
gave away except Mr.. Cavanaugh
No one below the dam was in the
least danger while it was being
drained and all of this sympathetic
writing in the papers about loss
and danger is simply hot air and
doesn't touch any tender spot with
anyone acquainted with the facts.
Mr.. Cavanaugh is not an object Of
charity, being probably the richest
man in the township and is not in
need of any donations. If he wants
the dam rebuilt he is able to do it.
1t is fast making him some valua-
bic land by the lake being there
We make this statement for the
reason that our opinion was asked
a few days ago regarding the idea
of the public assisting Mr.. c. in
rebuilding the dam. We have nc
objection to others doing this il
they choose.
