until next year.
If we wrote all of the things people
wanted US to write it's quite possible
we should be jailed or murdered. Gen
orally speaking, we have tried to keep
out Of difficulties. However, when
some one approaches and tells US
that we are afraid to mention Ger
tain matters, why then we cast eau
ton aside, which is most unwise.
We have no quarrel with the town
fathers-the SHOWS of the. last week
have been pretty bad. The snow pillow,
as soon as it was the logical time, was
out and cleared the walks, not the
roads. Personally, we were grateful,
but the kick seems to be that the
roads should have been taken care of
and that people could have walked
there, thus taking care Of both pedes-
trian and the vehicles. This is perhaps
true. We must agree that the roads
are in a deplorable condition and have
been almost impossible, The ''kicker"
brought up the point that when the
Park was under the Association man.
agement the streets were cleared Of
snow in winter.
There were many other criticisms
made of the town management, which
may or may not be true. Not being a
property owner we are not in posi-
ton to much criticizing, but we do
wish people that don't like things as
they are would make their complaints
to someone other than ourselves.
Anyhow, we have written as best we
could, and we hope, Mr.. Subscriber,
you are satisfied. Oh, yes; he voted
for the incorporation.
Editorial Note-After all is said
and done The Republican feels that
the town authorities are doing every
thing possible to administer the af
fairs of the municipality as best they
can under the circumstances.
The weather is breaking. It's much
warmer. Won't you turn off those
faucets and save the water. This week
higher levels of the Park where house
holders did not have water. Some of
these days you will realize what it
means to be without it.
