Another example of less government is good government
Were these piers hurting anything? I don't think so.
SALEM — Residents without riparian rights are upstream with out a paddle, the Town Board has decreed, when it comes to illegal piers, and such piers must be removed.
About a dozen residents of Camp Lake Oaks subdivison addressed the board Monday about piers that have been placed in a channel that has existed since it
was cut as a drainage ditch before 1924.The land is actually the 270th Avenue road right of way owned by the town, and signs were posted on the avenue and the piers informing the public that no
piers are allowed on the property per state statute. The signs were posted April
17 and gave owners 30 days to remove them.Board members conceded to giving owners one more weekend to remove the illegal piers or the town will remove them.
So for nearly a century, there were piers and now they want them removed. Idiotic.
