LETTER FROM A. HENDERSHOT
[Welland Telegraph, 14 February 1908]
Mayor Crow is in receipt of the following letter from A. Hendershot of Dunnville:
Dear Sir-Re streets and park on the Hendershot Survey. On account of the legislation asked for in regard to this property being of such great importance, it is all importance that you and your council fully understand all about it before any action is taken. It is unjust, unfair and unusual to ask any public body to legislate on any matter of such vital interest to the town and public generally without hearing both sides of the question. At the last session of your honorable body you were asked to take action after hearing one side only. The party who appeared at the bar of the council in support of that side of the question has personal interests which are in opposition to the ratepayers of the town and the public generally.
I now ask what no legislation body in the Province would refuse to allow me and the public to present the other side of the question, and if notified will appear before the council and present our side of the question. The work on the sewer, or any other street work, cannot commence for some time yet. A week or ten days’ delay cannot interfere with any interest or prejudice the Council in any way. You will, therefore, please notify me of the next meeting of your Council.
Yours respectfully
A. Hendershot
