Editor of The Capital:
In regards to the digging of canals

ETY. of the citizens of this village,
have always remained silent, believ-
ing that the courts are the proper
places for the discussion and adjust
ment of such grievances, but when
persons, trying to usurp authority
without such, hound me and command
me to open a ditch, where there is no
ditch, or order that the nuisance, which
is a serious menace to health, and
which has been created by income
else, may lie directly in front of my
door, and this to crafty personal or
political animus, then | must, as
free American citizen, draw the line
and say nay, nay.
am not yet serf to be ground un-
der the heel of despotism. Now, Mr..
Editor, while do not popose to give
advice to anyone, yet / Will ask these
questions: Is not the ditch of these
streets or roads / speak of First
street, on the northeast side? Was
IL not put there ny the county at very
heavy expense? Was there not
blind ditch across the street or road
whether county road or not will
not discuss here) to conduct the slop
water, etc, from the houses on said
street to said county ditch? by
whom, what authority and for what
object was said blind ditch destroyed
and filled up?
had nothing whatever to do with
it, nor with creating or maintaining
the nuisance on said First street, or
anywhere else in the village. 1t is
none of my business, but there has
been enough money spent on the
streets of this village in the last
few years to have them all in first
class shape and sanitary condition.
Now all have to say in conclusion
is: "Them's my sentiments" and do
not want TO be personally annoyed
any more" So to those interested |
will say: what do you think of it.
