HATE THE BCTfPATHT OF ALL WHO KSCW
. THZISDILEKlfA.
The hearts of the people of Stevenson,
that quiet nook, are lost now being rent
by conflicting emotions. The cause of
our trouble is the proposal of some per
son or persons, to us unknown, to spend
toward a million dollars In damming the
Houaatoaic river and thereby adding
that amount of wealth to the neighbor.
hood. Of bourse we all expect to get
some of the money and some of the bene
fits that would, follow success, but we
are sadly afraid the person or persons, to
us unknown, will make a dollar also.
We still remember that beautifully
illustrated story of our childhood days.
'the dog In the manger," and that other
story of the dog that dropped bis bone to
deprive what he supposed was another
dog of another similar bone. We should
be sadly disappointed if we mlBBed the
advantages that would accrue to us from
the building up of a great water power
at our very doors but what bothers us is
to see how we shall get this benefit and
not run a chance of benefiting others.
Then, too, there is the "meeting house"
and there is the cemetery. Ever since
the dam at Derby was built we have
realized that the present location was un
suitable, but the expense of removal
seemed an unsurmountable objection.
We should gladly welcome the propo
sition of removal if we could be assured
that the parties bearing the expense
would never get their money back, but
to think that they may do so and even
get gain thereby is harrowing I .Some of
us who did not attend the meeting of the
Cemetery association that unanimously
voted for a change of location can derive
comfort in criticising the location select
ed but, as the land is paid for and the
deed to the association recorded, there is
not much to be gained in that way.
Some of us, who. have friends whom we
never particularly cared about, buried in
the present graveyard,, and who have
planned to be buried in other ground ac
cessible at ordinary times ourselves, can
enjoy objecting to the removal of the
ashes of our departed friends, and it is to
be hoped that the cemetery association
will not be strenuous in this matter but
will regard the feelings of those near
enough related to make their wishes
worth consideration. As the graves and
tombstones would be covered, if the dam
is constructed as proposed, by 10 or 15
feet of water, they would be secure from
disturbance possibly until the general
esurrection. To be sure, we should lose
the pleasure of bewailing the disturbance
of the graves of our friends, but we
could possibly hunt something else to
find fault with, and in any case we shall
hove the sympathy of all who know of
our dilemma. R. S. H. : . -
