Isidore Blanchette Charles Blanch-
ard) resigned as a village trustee at
the regular monthly meeting of the
board Monday evening, when discussion
was brought UP in regard to repairs to
st. Peter street and the president OF
the village voted no" presenting his
reasons in writing, as agreed before the
board at the special meet ng held about
two weeks ago when the boards vote
stood a tie on the question. President
Mongeon's letter to the board with his
reasons for voting as he did was too
lengthy to tie printed in full. but he
thought that the putting In OF cement
sidewalk on one side of this street and
not on the other side would not be fair
IN those on the opposite side. An
other item to be taken into considera-
ton, he said, was the lowering of the
water pipes to meet the grade In case
of such repair. This would necessitate
an expense Of at least $500 to the water
department and the service pipes to the
various homes would have to be low.

one to be borne by the owners OF the
property along the street Another
reason given was that he had inter-

and four own half the frontage on the
street and do not want sidewalks; one
would rather wall until both sides
could be repaired at once; four are in
favor of having them, but would not
agree to pay right away; leaving only
one in so far as he could learn that
was willing to pay expenses now. The
expense of the street department to
date is 1897; estimated cost of mate

for winter work and there is left for
street work $1,000 In the interest OF
the taxpayers. he said, he could vote no
other way. He agreed In the opening
of his letter that there are many
streets entitled TO sidewalks of cement
and that nearly all need them. but be-
lieved also that system should be 1oi-
lowed, beginning in some central portion
and continuing from that starting point
year after year, instead of jumping from

either, that walks should be put in With
out curbs and cutters After his letter was
read, discussion was started and Mr.. Ban
Ghetto presented his resignation In VIII

he did not like the way the business OF the
board was done and that ne did not care
to serve with them lie concluded that ne
could not serve with clear conscience.
