until next Monday, whe nthe full board is
present.
This did not meet with Mr.. Holidays
approval.
I'm a pretty heavy taxpayer" he said.
81 expect I'm about the heaviest taxpayer
among us here. 1t Just strikes me as be-
ing useless to tear up thousands of dol
lars worth of these good brick streets
that might serve as excellent founda-
lions for new surfaces. Why people In
authority, just because they are in au-
thority, continue to just tear up mill
lions OF dollars worth Of such pavements
and waste them is more than l can see.
I just can't see how practical men can
do it,
You wouldn't want US to do anything
that wasn't accordin gto lawf" asked
Mr. Lemaux, asserting that the board
could not legally permit the property
owners to have the resurfacing done by
themselves.
II sometimes find that doing things
according TO the law is damned foolish
way of doing them" replied the man
ufacturer "Of course, though, l don't
want you to do anything Illegal j
wouldn't if were in your place"
