therein named, to examine said road and
to report thereon, would respectfully re-
port as follows, to wit
Your committee have had the subject
matter of said petition, and the whole sub
Ject referred to them, under deliberate
consideration. They find first, that the
road alluded to in said petition is one of
the Oldest travelled roads in the western
part of the county, Except, perhaps mile
and half on the north cas-, of said Road,
where it lies through cedar swamp, and
is not travelled), was laid out by the pro.
per authorities of Maple Grove, when that
town composed the present towns of Ma,
pie Grove, Rockland, Cato and Franklin
That in consultation with many of the cit
liens on the line Of the road, your COM
m'ttee found that SAID citizens, all Of
whom it is believed are signers to said pc
tltion, do not desire the discontinuanes of
said road-they cannot do without it, ex-
cep: the mile and a half before mentioned.
Your committee therefore recommend
that the prayer of said petitioners be not
granted.

mile and half Of the north part of lies
chiefly through cedar swamp, and does
not connect at the county line with any
other road. This part of the road is not
opened, and cannot be made a good road.

Your committe would most respectfully
recommend that the building of said road

tax for said road. Your committee found
by examining said petition that there arc

boundaries of said land that would have
to be assessed to bald the said road, and
did not ask for it, and do not want it.
The petition referred to your commit
