Inhabited, which is something like
thirty five or forty years The larg-
or part Of the residence district is on
this land and for this reason there is
more or less hard feelings engendered
on account Of the new ruling.
The word has gone out that the
squatters must either pay rent for the
land or buy it outright. This move
en- the part Of the company was talked
Of shortly after the last strike. but
nothing definite was ever done. Now
that surveyors are on the ground 1t is
understood that the company has de-
cided to take definite action. Due

be seized when the owners comply
with the new order, but il the owner
refuses to buy. rent or move the house,
then the company will likely take
