KEEP THE Law. ANYWAY.
lWaverly INDEPENDENT

Men may not like the new road law.
We all have right to our own views
but as long as the law Is on our books
it ought to be enforced To ignore the
law or to violate 1t Is indefensible. The
supervisor or the trustee who feels tina;
he can not live up to his duties under
the law should resign. II we concede
the right to an officer or an individual
