state road, and not free turnpike. If such
is not the fact, hope Lawyer Way will cor
rect me.
Mr.. Way, in referring to the McCutchens-
Vile road fund being placed in my hands for
expenditure, carries the idea that all the mo-
ney should have been expended by this time,
as the summer is far spent and the road IN
a bad condition, particularly IN Perrysburg.
1t is we'll known that the continued and
extraordinary rains this season have kept the
roads in so bad a condition that it has been
impossible to work them. Iquestion if there
is one supervisor in ten that has had one
days work i'll their respective districts IN
Wood county this summer. More especial
ly has it been the case on large pixies, where
all the material necessary for repairs has to
be taken from the bottom of the bitches, as
they have been more or less filled with wa
ter all the season, and not until recently has
there been any prospect Of their being in
condition to be worked. Again he conveys
the idea that claim The prerogative of or
dinary supervisors, that is, Of working just
about their own doors, or i'll other words
expend the McCutchensville road fund along
the whole line of the road wherever it may
be most needed, ins tead of cXpending it e.!

between Esq. Ways farm and town. He is
welcome to all the capital he can make in
that way, either personal or political, and
to all the injury he may do me by his many
gratuitous aspersions. But Esq. Way must
| be aware that my interests are more nearly
identified with Perrysburg than with any
other point on the McCutChensville road
consequently have greater interest in the
growth and prosperity of Perrysburg, and in
the making of her roads and bitches, than
can possibly have in any other section of the
country that the McCutchensviller road passes
through; and if had any inclination to
carry out the principles of " a la supervisor,
(as he so kindly interprets my intentions,
and expend the money nearest my own door,
I need only to have acceeded to Esq. Ways
demands upon that fund. My desire and in
tention in the disbursement of that fund.- as
the superintendent of the McCutchensvile
road is, to have it judicously expended in
the repair of the road as soon as possible
and intend that no external influence shall
induce me to exercise the least partiality for
any particular section Of the road. Dust
stick pin there.)
There is considerable feeling existing
amongst the inhabitants along Grassy Creek
in regard to the amount of water empted
into it by the various road bitches, especial
y ~ Tie lluldy ana MCCulCHelSNlIlc lodu
bitches. The excess of water let into that
stream by artificial means has caused the
J, overflow of its banks, and the destruction oil
considerable property and loss of crops.
have offered to the citizens owning lands
along the creek, that if they will clear the
trees and rubbish out of its bed and do theil
proportion towards cutting deeper channel
, according to the amount of water that nat
, urally flowed there, and the Finday PLANK
Road Co. will appropriate like amount il
proportion to the quantity Of water flowing
into the creek by their road bitches, that
would appropriate like amount out of the
, McCutchensville road fund, to apply only

creek reasonable distance. | believe m,
proposition gives general satisfaction, anc
