[John A. Birdsall]

First thank you for telling me how. Now as if I was Paul Harvey "for the rest of the story"...We have a neighbor who thinks he owns a right of way, a ten foot stretch to the lake, which four families have the same right of way, not just him. My dad has a twenty-six foot pontoon boat tied to the peir which is attached to our boat house. The officer, answering a call from a neighbor who said we have parked our boat on his right of way, and the officer ordered us to move the boat or he was gonna have it towed. If we did not move the boat, the officer skivies, was gonna have a trailer called and tow the boat away at our expense. Our neigbor is upset with us because we will not allow him use of our dock to tie up his boat. This is a guy that if you give him an inch, he will take a foot.

This officer is the supervisor of the police dept while the chief goes thru the court battle over his job. This officer said he is the police and he knows the law. Alton better look out, he is very well versed. I would hate to see what would happen if a crime was committed.
