lures made by them in excess Of the
appropriation Of last year,
Then it was that he waXed warmer
and declared that if might was
right the tar and feather treatment
might be applied to the members of
the board in Ku Klux Klan fashion.
He mentioned the names of
Trustee Bennett in connection with
the district lines eliminating pro-
perty of Mr.. Benefits father-in-law
along the track but fronting on
West Fifth street, and of Trustee
Murchison in connection with some
roperty which the latter had sold
recently, and asked why it was not
included in the district.
He made the statement that on his
berry patch on West Grand View he
would be required to pay as much
sewer taxes as the business section
On the north side of Grand View
from the Davis Garage to the First
State Bank and also including the
First National Bank block.
He stated that he and his neigh
tors were being forced into the dis
trict to satisfy the desires Of the
promoters of the Midwest Tire
Company which he declared was a
Getriment to that section Of town.
Mr.. Campbell finished his talk
without interruption from the board.
The next speaker was Josh Malon-
cy, one Of the residents south Of the
track who did not sign a remon-
STRANGE.
He stated that the sewer was toe
high to be Of any use to him and
felt that he should not be required
to pay for that which could not
benefit him. He said however that
if the town needed the 5000 or 5000
which was assessed against his pro-
rerty he would make that as n do
ration. He felt however. that there
should be; some 3et up on taxation
and that II expenses continue it will
work hardship on the owners of
acreage tracts. He made the as
sertion that he would give $1,000 to
he outside the city limits.
Mr.. Maloney was not at all bitter
toward the town board. He urged
all present to cooperate with the
board rather than find fault with
them. Cooperation in handling
town affairs would keep taxes down
he asserted.
Pliny O. Clark, president Of the
Community Club responded to some
of the attacks against that organi-
zation by Mr.. Campbell. stated that
he would probably pay as much
sewer tax as Mr.. Campbell. but had
not looked it up and didn't know
tut favored the sewer just the same.
Hc urged the town board to go
ahead with their plans and assured
them that the people. of the town
were back OF them.
Mr.. Sydow. Of the form Of Brew
G. Sydow, the engineers in charge Of
the work talked for n few minutes
upon the technical naN Of sewer
building from an engineers point Of
view.
He explained that his firm had
gone over the ground thoroly bad
estimated the cost Of the sewer and
had laid out the district over guffi-
cient territory TO cover the cost.
He assured the people that he had
no malice toward anyone but in
drawing the district lines he had not
been able TO consult all the property
owners and had no doubt included
some who might desire TO be left
out.
He reminded the people that the
town board is not trying to "put
rnyhine across" on the taxpayers
but that the meeting Monday night
wns well advertised and held for the
purpose Of getting the sentiment Of
the different property owners In the
district upon lust whnt lines should
be followed, that the town board
might act more intclligently and
with more satisfaction to all those
interested.
