They said the only way a sewer

can be built would be by assess ment of total costs against prope erty owners.

“The Board promised us a sewer and now we are asked to pay all of the costs—property owners in that

section of the city can’t afford it”

Louis N. Grossman, association president, said. He told the Board a new petition

“MY DIARY” in The Indianapolis Times brings a little message of courage to me, and I’m sure you are nearer to the common woman’s heart of us Hoosiers by means of what you say. This common ground on which you bring us reminds me of the poem by Whittier—“The Poor Voter on Election Day.” We are lifted a little higher and feel the strength of comradeship—by the words and the thoughts between the lines. I am writing these lines because in my small way 1 want to show my appreciation.
