Your committee further report
that from the papers from the ie

United States have by agreement
with the Indians obtained permif

on a practicable rout and that fo
foon as a road is looked out and
defignated that meafures will 1m
mediately be taken by the general
government to procure from the
Indians permiffion to open faid road
Your committee are of opinion that
a road on the direction provided for
by the general government will be
much nearer to the leaport towns
in the date of Georgia than the
prefent road and that it will be of
high importance to the peyple of this

Mr Kercheval read and laid on
