The following petition was presented, to-
wit April 10, 1S69.-To the Board of Su-
pervisors Your petitioner desires to have a
road opened from his mill, lying near Charles
town (if found practicable), to what is famil-
iarly known in the neiShborbood as Man
ninJ's Gate" at point on the Charlestown
and Bloomery mill road, about one and half
miles from Charlestown, and about the same
distance from the mill. 1t is generally con-
sidered to be the best route the road can be To-
Gated upon, both for the interest of the petit
toner and the community.
The route contemplated is to leave the mill
in the direction of Charlestown, running upon
the land of the petitioner, to its terminus in
the direction of the said gate; thence continuing
in the same direction through the land of Mr..
Frank Manning, to a point interSecting the
line between himself, and his brother Charles
Manning, to some point at which it would be
desirable to leave said line, and proceed in a
direct line to the gate. He desires to have
viewers appointed for the purpose of examin-
ing said road, and also others leading in other
directions, if within the power Of your body to
clothe them with these general orders. He
begs leave also to state that his property is
heavily taxed, whilst he is compelled to take
merely nominal rent for it, for the want of a
road; the tenant thereof being compelled to
rely entirely upon the private roads of his
neighbors to enable any one to get to or from
bis mill.
