Letter To The Editor – Dumping Trash Leads To Personal Tragedy

By

Dear Editor,
We have a neighborhood problem that is getting worse. Someone has been dumping trash and garbage at various spots in the village. One spot is near the Berlin Library. Everybody is heartily sick of this mess. Mr. Jaeger, our Town Supervisor, has not had time to do anything. The Health Department has been helpful but cannot act until some legal actions are possible.
