The County Serveror has produced the accompanying
report—
Coutrrr Scanlon's Huron on Tarim. Ternpike
Trust, which encored on N ',ember the let, MK
Bleodford Trust. —The road forming this trust has of
late years been very much neglected and has got much out
of repair Being very little need except for local traffic,
the tolls taken have been ineudteient to do anything
more than the most trivial repair. Acting on the rule
already laid down by the roads committee in this twenty,
" only to retain as mein roads, one direct line of com-
munication between any two towns." it will he advisable
t disnmlie the entire leegto of this road, which consisted
about Mee milts in Length. There are two bridges on
this line of road which having been repaired by the turn-
pike will hereafter become repairable by the county.
Nam. 01 bridge :—No. I, Ottilbridge Bridge, In the parish
or Witehorne ; No. 4, Keymeton Bridge, in the parish of
Keynesian.
VlllO of Steelman, 2S-var.—By the expiration of this
trust about thirty-four miles of road will be added to the
main roads of this county, as no portion of the trust can
well be dismained. The roads belonging to this ;god
ham been left is • fair coedit:lm; in came where there has
sot been time 'souls to get the materiels spread before
the expiration of the trust, they have bans rotted out and
deposited by the side of the mad. The worst section of
road is from Todbse career to Mailgrams, in length about
for miles, which has always been repaired with soft
local Mena which is is the first plane mask cheaper than
mot, hot, as it only ermre for half the time is in the mid
much dearer and will I train be discarded in tits future. ,
It would well repay the Highway Boards through wham '
district the.. four mile. of rood run, to borrow money to
put them in good oonditiom in the first place. The side
ditches in many places oa this trust have been neglected.
The attention rift* Mallet Berineyors should be eepecielly
paw to thug point so that lamsediate motion may be
taken to get them cleaned out. There are two bridges on
this line of trust which have hese repaired by the trustees.
Poole Trust —"About thirty mike of road will be added
to the man roads of the county by the felling in of this
trust. Satiloleat money was not allowed by the framers
of the last Act to enable the roods belonging to this trust
to be properly maintained, but, taking this into considers-
tioc,.the roads have been handed over In a very fair
condition. The road from Orenborne to Wimboree
mooted to none in the constr.
" I consider that no pu-tica of this troll might to be
damained.
" The following small bridges hitherto repotted by the
trust will, In tutu*, be repairable by the c meaty :—fiun-
gage Bun, in the parish of Wimborne : Honey Brook, In
the parish of Wimborn• ; Beer Cram (2), in the pariah of

County Surveyor, Dorset

_
" Acting upon the principle adopted by the mew
authority that there should not be two main roods running ,
parallel in the WWI direction, your committee recommend
that the whole length of the road belonging to the trust
called Wimberne Minster and Bland( ord Forum be dis-
meined„ and that the Clerk of the Peace be directed to
take the necessary steps, at the same Urn.., be applies
to the Local Government Board in respect of diamaining
the rmi No. sr. Progpool and Drimptosi.
" Your committee have received an application on
behalf of the Wimborne Highway Authority to declare as
main road Um length of road from the County Police-
stetion to Welford-bridge„ in the perish of Wiusborne,
being on the line of the late Poole Trust. It is about 40
chains in length. Your committ m recommend the county
authority to grant • Provisional Order declaring such road
a mein road.
The various recommendations of the committee were
put to the court seriatim and carried unenimously.
The DErtrry-Cummus remarked if the POO covered
the damage rested by the floods, it would be considered
they had done very well.
Colonel STZWULD • We UT informed by the surveyor
that amount will only meet one-fifth.
The report, as • whole, was then carried unanimously.
This concluded the business.
