Threatens to clog sewer lines
Man demands free sewage
At the root of his contention is
Ford’s claim that by owning the
land, he also owns “that property
all the way up to the stars and all
the way down to China.”
And it isn’t the first time he’s
pressed his claim. In 1979, Ford
built a 60-foot television tower on
his property because he said air
planes using the nearby Putnam
County Airport were violating his
airspace.
Ford’s tower nearly caused the
closing of the airport. State offi
cials said the tower presented a
safety hazard, but federal author
ities determined the structure fell
3 feet short of violating Federal
Aviation Administration guide

dropped with Ford and the city
calling it a draw.
This time Ford is threatening to
clog the sewers with concrete un
less the city agrees to provide him
with free sewage service, as he
said they agreed to do when the
lines were installed in 1967.
City officials are worried
enough about the threat to file suit
in Chancery Court seeking a re
straining order against Ford and
his sack of concrete.
The matter came to a head
when city officials discovered
Ford hadn’t paid his sewage bills,
amounting to $3,344, since April
1979.
City Manager Ed Kimsey said
the agreement was only to provide
sewer taps, and not service, for
free. He said by paying his bills
until 1979 Ford has shown he was
not confused about whether he
had to pay for the service.
Ford said Wednesday the city
actually owes him “in the neigh
borhood of $10,000” for the pay
ments he made between 1967 and
1979.
“It says right in the easement,
'sewer charges are waived, ”’ Ford
said.
“After we made that agree
ment, I forgot about it until a cou
ple of years ago, when the whole
thing came up again. I went down
town and reminded them about it
and the assistant city manager told
me I should get a refund for the
sewer charges I’d paid since ’67.
But when they checked and found
out it was in the neighborhood of
$10,000, they decided not to pay
He said he decided to stop
paying his sewer charges at that
time.

Aggies!”

“Laetrile and any other type of
