In that event, il would be right for The
Bnsrd 10 compound the mater with such

might be sufficient for keeping Tie turn

provisions, thiuk that advantage would
result alike 10 the cillzens and To the
Board. Major Gwynn thinks that fiIly
days l.bour annually on each mile will
be sufficient 10 keep the road in repair.
by taking two mica on each side, We
have four sqaare mites IN each ona in |,

are ten hands on the four miles, or two |
aud half on each square mile land The
actual number will average this at least,
they will, al five days per hand, expend
Ally days labor. an smoun. sutficisn, to
keep the road IN good repair.
