CT7HEREAS complaints are made to Council,
VV that the roads and highways in this S'ate are
ruinous, and., in many parts, almost impassible for
want of being repaired and amended as the laws re
quire, whereby travellers are impeded, in their jour
lies, private business obftru^ed, the public supplies
for the army delayed, and their operations in danger
of being disappointed, to the g-eat fcan&l, detri
ment, and danger of this Common Wealth, and the
marifeft injury of the common c^ufe of America.
THESE are, therefore, to require and com
mand all Supervisors of the Roads and Highways
within this State, without Li! or loss of time, to
proceed to the reparation and amendment of the
Reads, and to erjoin upon Magistrates and others
concerned, to exert themfeivrs in making present
meats of defers and nuifarces in the premises, to
the Quarter Sessions of the Peace of the refpe&ive
'Counties, or to prolectre and otherwise proceed
againfl all deficient Townships and Supervisors ac
cording to Law, that they may be punched in such
manner as their negle^ ffiall require.
By Order of Council,
THOMAS WHARTON, Jun. President.
