My comment on tbis would be, first I Winston Raynor, Mr. and Mrs that the ultimate end of all work is ' Dunster, Mr. and Mrs. Mueller not necessarily to provide paths to the railroad station, more than to the busi¬ ness section of the village. Of course I am not trying to discount the neces¬ sity of a path to the station also.
The other remark is that Mr. Reese is mistaken about attempts be¬ ing made "in former yeara," as no at¬ tempt bas been made in any year by the village authorities to clean the sidewalks, beyond wtiat could be done to make the owners attend to this work. What cleaning of the sidewalks has been done, has been entirely the result of private work.
As Counselor Fishei remarked at the meeting of the Taxpayers Aasociation last week, we are a little too much in¬ clined to criticize, without considering' remedies. No proviaion haa ever been ' made as far as I can recall, by any ! Village Board, to clean our sidewalks i (luring or after snowstorms. I would j respectfully suggest to Mr. Van Reese i Ihat he have a petition prepared andj present same to the Village Board, to I allow the people to vote upon the | proposition to spend $1000 or $2000, i for this work during the ensuing year. 1 In this way the opinion of the taxpay-1 ers can easily be secured, and there ' would be no necessity or possibility, ' of criticiam in the wrong place.
