We fear that the selection of the site against the manifest wlehea of a considerable majority of the tax payers of Klcston will result in harm in discord and dis satisfaction because it is a more se rious matter than perhaDS- soms of the members of the board realize to go con trary to the wishes of the people, whose servants all publlo oiSelals are. v 4 . iVe have no captious criticism to make. We feel retrret and ' disappointment that tbe board did not gracefully yield to Dublic sentiment and allow the Chamber of Commerce to settle the matter in a full meeting where all sides could calmly and dispassionately discuss and pass their opinions on the matter.
