Dear Editor:
I have been trying, for 3 years to get someone with authority to assist in the clean up of a pile of human excreta on my neighboring property line.

There is a second site, Gǣlets call it an outhouse,Gǥ which probably has human excreta in it as well.GǿThe shack that resides near the excreta is a fire trap!

And, also a public nuisance as on several occasions I have called the sheriffs office due to trespassers scavenging items from that property; they also arrested someone that they caught with items belonging to this house.

I have contacted the local health department, sheriff's office and county offices. Each department passes off the duty to someone else. I get nowhere!

What does one have to do to get some assistance in this regard?

Tired of the Same Old S**t

A friend of mine has invested a lot of time, money and sweat equity in her property. And, it is looking really beautiful.

Adjacent to her property is a step back in time to a sight quite common in Grant County. The property next door has an abandoned wood structure in an advanced state of decay. The druggies have been removed as well as the New Mexico Yard Art aka abandoned vehicles.

What remains, just inside the property line is a nice, compact pile of human excreata aka as S**T from a now non-existent outhouse.

For the past three years the friend has been trying to get this pile of human excreta S**T removed. The property owner evidently does not give a S**T as the pile still lingers.

Grant County Code Enforcement does not deal with this type of S**T.

The local EPA office deals with liquid S**T but not petrified S**T.

The S**T problem is just passed on from one agency to the next and here we are still looking at this cubicle of S**T in plain sight next to the property fence.

If the readers have a viable solution to this issue please respond and have your name added to the S**T list.
Thank you.
