To the Voters of Box Butte County
The Alliance Timet, in an attempt to defeat me for County CoinmiKHioner from the,
First district of ltox Butte county, is niakiiiK an Httack on me for asking pay for land nnd
damages for a new road which will go through my land. r Their article, from The Times of
Tuesday, October 24th, is as follows:
Anton Uhrig, democratic candidate for commissioner from the flrnt dliitrirt, ban
filed Buit against Box Butte county for $l,f00 damages for the strip of his land uhoU
in making the new llemlngford road. The appraisers allowed Mr. Uhrig $500 dam
age, and this amount is considerably more thnn others have asked.
The new road was the old highway between Alliance and llemlngford and it was
generally recognized as the best road. It is shorter and affords automobile travel
during the winter months. Mr. Uhrig was responsible for closing the road and made
necessary the expenditure of a large amount of money In grading the present high
way. If Mr. Uhrig is elected commissioner he will then be In a position to push on hla
own claim for $1,500 damages on the present road. Can a man act In this rapacity
when ho haa filed suit against the county with Intentions to collect?
Now, for the facts in the case. I have, during past years, given the land for four
roads around the section of land which I own, adjoining the town of licmingfotd. I came to
Box Butte county (at that time it was not Box Butte county) in the nwmth of April, 1885,
and have been a resident since that time. When the Burlington railroad wan being put in
through the county, I donated 160 acres of land as an inducement for the establishing of a
station and town at Hemingford. 1 later bought back part of this land and now have it. The
Times claims that this road was "the old highway between Alliance and Hemingford." This
is incorrect, for this road was never laid out and has never been a public road. My land lies
on both sides of the railroad. A portion of it is laid out in city lots ami has been sold. The
attempt tostablish a road here is simply a political move, made in an endeavor to defeat me.
1 am paying more and higher taxes on this land than the owners of land similarly situated
. are.
In an endeavor to fc.'cure partial pay for the land which would ! used and for the
damage which would be caused me by the establishment of this road "catcieomer" through
the center of my private projerly I have asked the sum of $l.r(X) which would only be partial
pay. There are now two excellent graded roads between Allifince and Hemingford, one com
ing into Hemingford from the south and one from the east. The county commissioners, a
year ago, assured me tht these roads were am ply sufficient to care for all travel and that
there are other roads in Box Butte county which certainly need attention worse than this new
road which the would-be politicians are endeavoring to embarrass m- with. At the timo the
petition for this road was tiled a remonstrance Mas also filed with th,: l l. of Box Butte
county.
As a citizen of the county 1 believe that have been public spirited during my thirty
one years of residence. I am not seeking oflice because of personal interests or ambitions but
because of the fact that I know that the roads of a large portion of the county are in a ne
glected state. To be sure, the road leading to the farm of my opponent, the present commis
sioner, is in good and well-graded condition. Naturally, but does that do the hundreds of
other farmers who are unable to us this road any good?
THE VOTERS OF BOX BUTTE COUNTY WANT MEN IN OFFICE WHO WILL
GIVE THEIIt PERSONAL ATTENTION TO TJIE BUSINESS OF THE COUNTY. THEY
WANT MEN WHO ABE WILLING TO ENTEij TIIE HACK FOU POLITICAL OFFICE
THROUGH THE PRIMARIES, AND WHO 1)0 NOT FIND IT NECESSARY TO WAIT UN
TIL AFTER THE PRIMARIES AND ENTER THE KACK BY PETITION, FEARING TO
TRUST THEMSELVES TO TIIE WILL OF TIIK PKOPLE AT THE PRIMARIES. IN OTII-
ER WORDS, I BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE of BOX BUTTE COUNTY WANT A
CHANGE.
Voters of Box Butte county, it is up to you to investigate before you .vote for yonr
next county commissioner. I court a full and complete investigation of my record as a public-spirited
citizen of the county during the paRt thirty-one years. I ask you to consider the
matter carefully before you go to the I oils to Vote on November 7th and I ak you to vote for
EFFICIENCY
A BUSINESS-LIKE ADMINISTRATION
EXPERIENCE
And remember that there are a number 0f others who have remonstrated against this
road about which the Times is worrying itself in its ill-advised attempt to defeat me for elec
tion. I ask you to remember that mud-slingin ,l0es not change the facts. Yeur Rupport at
the election will be appreciated and if elected I will devote my best interests to the good of
all the county, not a favored few.
