old survey was nineteen and onehat miles, and under the present bond cannot elceed twenty-one mi les. Its source is at a culvert on the south side of section 10-24-7 and its mouth at the foot of rapids on the west side of the city of Rensselaer. The exact couise, distance and plan must be left to the judgment of the viewers. Each petitioner is primarily liable in a sum equal to $1050.00 divided by the number of sol vent petitioners. The more signers the less the liability of each on the bond. The agreement is signed as an aid to the petitioners and the liability on the agreement is limited by the per cent of the total cash needed and the amount subscribed. If the per centage subscribed is 100 (it is now 36) the whole amount would be contributed directly on the agreement alone. Each of us will carry a subscription list and others will be furnished to the right men on demand to aid in a full canvass. It is the duty of each citizen who favors this work to first sign said agreement in some multiple of five dollars and twentyfive cents. It is the further duty of each owner of benefited land to sign both petition and bond. This project is a call to the open handed, liberal minded and generous residents of the Iroquois valley. The duty imposed upon us, is gratuitous apd you should help make it agreeable. The costs of location and construction will be assessed against the lands in proportion to the benefits derived. The costs here provided for are simply to pay for the time, talent and expenses to make the improvement a lawful one. We all want the best improvement at the least costs, and should not fix arbitrarily on any quality merely as an excuse for not helping. If your notion be correct, you should become a promoter in order to more fairly present your views. All can be petitioners who own land that will be benefitted. All can subscribe to the agreement. It is merely a register of a definite amount of favor extended. The 'committee are ordered to report each Saturday at 8:00 P. M. for further discussion of the project, at the court room. We want your active aid. The prospect for better roads and health and lands are involved. On August 2nd, 1902 all who have in any way aided this project are invited to meet in the Court Room and reach a final conclusion whether the application shall be filed or not. Respectfully submitted, Orpheus C. Halstead, - ? Henry Amsler, John E. Alter, Nehemiah Hopkins, David H. Yeoman, Granville Moody, Simon P. Thompson, Soliciting Committee. July 14, 1902.
