Residents Of Herman Hold Meeting
and Pass Z Number Of Ordinances.
HERMAN, MICH. July 18th, 1909.
A general meeting Of the citizens was
held at Herman, Baraga County, Mich,
relative to work done on public high
ways here at the expense Of the Town
ship.
First: Nels Majhannu was chosen
as temporary chairman and Henry
Pasanen Jr. as temporary Secretary.
Second: It was unanimously decided
to urge the Township Board to con-
struct public roads at four different
places in this locality; one for Jacob
Kuusisto and Joseph Pekkala; one for
Matt Hakkinen and Mike Myllymaa,
and at the Summit road should be con-
structed for Isaac Peltonen and Jacob
Walitalo.
Third: The meeting disspproves the
action of the Township Board for ex-
pending public funds in repairing use
less road for Jacob Kuusisto and Joseph
Pekkala.
Fonrth: 1t was the consensus of
opinion of those present and it was so
unanimously decided that should the
Township Board fail to comply to the
urgent requests and wants of free
holders of this locality in the matter of
repairing and constructing public high
ways and other public matters and
should it fail to act favorably and more
hastily in the premises; and should it
overlook and fail to divide and dis
tribute the public highway construction
and repair work among the several Of
the freeholders here, and should it as
heretofore still persist in fsvoring one
man only in granting all public work
to him; then in that event, we deem it
to be to the best interest of all parties
concerned and especially to the free
holders here to refrain from voting for
reelection of such body Of public
functionaries.
Fifth: 1t was also unanimously de-
cided that whenever question of new
public highway or road arises or when-
ever any repairs are needed on the old
roads, the Township Board will be
notified of such need by petition signed
by majority of the free-holders, here.
Sixth: In the event that one OF
more freeholders are desirous of having
roadconstructed to their premises it shall
be deemed advisable that such person
or persons notify the permanent Secre-
tary of this meeting, directing him to
call general meeting; and it shall be
the duty of the Secretary to call such
a meeting and give public notice
thereof in such manner that it shall
be made known to the taxpayers. Per-
son or persons desiring construction
of new road shall submit map,
sketch or drawing of proposed road fol-
the consideration of the meeting and
shall also consult and advise with the
freeholders of this locality as to the
advisability of constructing such pro.
posed road.
Seventh, 1t was deemed advisable
to notify the overseer of highways,
that during the winter when it becomes
necessary after severe snowstorms tc
open up and plow the roads, that open.
ing up and plowing of the road should
be begun simultaneously at four diff
ferent points of this vicinity.
