THE ROADS At IsETltim I or..

The Ilse. Wyk M 11. t haid be hol a nuttier to bring
before the Board. Then: were two rinds in his parislgin a
very Ind state indeed • he had at various t 111 l es written to
the Boarl on the and hail beeu told that the
roads were equal to the requirements. One of the roads
was that leading fr nu Brendan. .or 1411i,4111 church to
Dia.-I:down. This at places wit: only 'even feet wide,
with banks of SOlllO tZtl nr twelve feet high • the
road should not be le, thin ten feet wide all the
way through, ,u that a foot passenger might he able
to pass a conveyance. lie was there net merely as
the vicar of the parish, but as an inhabitant, awl a rate-
payer. Mr. Malan then referred to tie roads in the
direction of Burdock, anil said in consequence of ita bad
state lie had often to travel nix miles instead of two and a
half miles. There were iieveral parts of this road not
more than eight feet wide, aad sidings were required. 4)none occasion ha hail met the Rev. W. Peters, both of them
being in vehicles; they hail looked at each other, and at
length, an they were near a gate, managed to pass each
other, lie alluded to other alterations required to be
made, and asked that Mr. B. J. Con, their surveyor,
inialit survey them, and that iwinething might be done,
for be (the speaker) had been agitating the question for a
long period, without any satisfactory result
The CHAIRMAN reqUeilliNl Mr. Malan to retire, that the
Board might talk the matter over. After some little con-
versation, Messrs. Trenchw-il, Davy, and Wakely were
appointed a committee to inspect the roads in company
with the surveyor, and report at the next meeting, which
was fixed to be held at Bridpurt,un Wednesday, Jan, 20th,
Igs.

The SURSETOR Stated that several parties responsible
for the ,mtting and
_pruning of trues and hedinst had not
attended to it, and he was instructed to report thereon to
the Clerk, Mr. N. M. Loggiu, who wa, ordered to summon
all defaulters.
