TAXPAYERS LETTER

Editor Tidings:
In your Editorial note, in the is
sue OF the 18th inst, you solicited re-
marks from the park board and 9TH
ers interested, under title of "Peo-
pies Forum"
Referring to Taxpayer in that is
sue, think 1t i'll behooves any citi-
zen or tax payer of Ashland to rush
into print, and cause to be circulat-

this world than Taxpayer ever

management almost daily, in the
highest encomiums of our park and
scenic attractions
How much more like a live citi-
zen Of our city, II he had appeared
before the park board with his criti-
cisms and complaints, and II not
there shown proper courtesy, then
resort TO publication.
The average knocker carries a
chip on his shoulder thru the week,
and on Sunday, like Taxpayer,
strides out to see what he can criti-
cize. rather than to admire the beau
ties OF nature, and give credit to
those who use their best endeavors
to administer the public park with
out compensation or proper credit.
Referring to his criticism of the |
dandelions in the central park, the |
party assumes to expect the park |
board to accomplish more than the !
L. S government has accomplished |
in these many years, with all its ex-
perts, the determination OF the pest.

POMPTON LAKES, N. j., July 29.-
Although men have been at work all
day dragging the Ramapo River below
the Pompton Lake dam for the body OF
Miss Mabel Harris, no trace has been
found of the girl, who, her sweetheart,
Lester Decker, says, plunged over the
dam with him in canoe Sunday night.
The canoe has been found, grounded
in the shadows a short distance below
the dam. 1t was somewhat battered
and had a hole stove in the bow, but
the paddles were still in it, If the
craft went over the dam, as Decker
Gays, it dropped thirty-five feet into
rough water
Decker, who was taken to Paterson
Monday night, has been questioned at
length by Prosecutor Michael Dunn.
Earlier. when Chief McGee, of the
Wayne township police, talked to him,
he said he and Miss Harris had parted
Sunday night and that she had gone
back to DR.. Adams's sanitarium, where
she is employed.
He now says that they met early
Sunday evening and went canoeing.
