SATURDAY, FEB. Is, 1911.

Our readers know by this time
that The SENTINEL is not in the
habit of knocking local condi-
tons and we do not contemplate
doing so at the present time.
But we do desire to take this
means of bringing before the
proper authorities certain mat
tiers now existing. What we
would like to see remedied land
which has probably been over
looked) is the condition of the
Baraga cemetery road as it is at
present.
The taxpayers of Baraga town
ship or village are paying their
hard earned dollars for the i'm
provement Of roads, and to see
such conditions on the Baraga
cemetery road as were shown at
Wednesdays funeral is some
thing that should be brought to
the attention of all. The roads
were dangerous for everyone,
the pallbearers being dumped in
to the snow and having to get
out and assist in keeping the
hearse right side up on account
Of drifts a couple of feet deep.
Such matters should be looked
after, don't you think 7? Every
one knows of the sad memories
brought about by any mishap at
a funeral-it is something that
is never forgotten. You who
have matters in charge place
yourself in the position of a be-
reaved one and we think you
will see to it that the highway
to the cemetery is in better
shape than it has been.
