appeisted By the Board Of Supervisors q
their last session for the purpose Of locas
ting the road q East Davenport. are meet.
Jog With some little trouble, The old Ter.
ritorial road frsm Burrows mill along the
river 70 Princstsn, wss vaeatsd bv the city
from whore the brewery now stands to the
eastern limits ef the city. and oil the travel
Of the River road and frsm the Jersey
Ridge road hss been forced sssund through
the narrow street running north from the
river. The whsls travel from the river
road has had 10 60 around through Camp
Olsllan until they are new forced to locate
the road in some particular place. There
seems 70 bs sems justice in the psopls
above East Davenport demanding that the
old read shall b opened for their use. In
stead Of forcing them up around through
Camp Mcclellan. There are other consid-
srations that should induce the committee
to insist on the road being opened by the
city. Il is the right Of the county and the
duty they owe to the future si the city and
toths country absvs1 1ast Davenport that the
road should be along the bank Of the river,
as originally located; and then. it is a ques-
tion whether the city has any right to
close . Government road.
The time will come whom the rect cars
will have to run to Gilbert Town, and along
the river is the only place. When the
space along the river, between East Daven-
port and Gilbert Town shall be built up,
Is it undoubtedly will Be, with manufac-
tories, then We shall SEQ the necessity Of
such action. IL it is delayed until that
time, ths expense to the city will be ten
times what it will bs now. In view Of
these things it stands, this Committee in
hand. now considering the matter, to do
their work in such manner - that il will
nat have to be done over. Let them cos
operate with the City Counsel, and settle
she question ct once. Good legal opinion
s.ys they have the right to insist on the
city re opening the road-or in other
words, that the city had no right to vasats
the read. The importance Of the matter
certainly ds.auds that they act With due
CELEBRATION.
