The Pleasant Valley Road.

As previously announced in this paper,
the highway commissioners met in the
Office of the town clerk on Saturday after
noon to consider the matter of the new
Pleasant Valley road But they didn't do
anything-they lad found another excuse
for delaying the completion OF the road
After examining the law Mr.. J. T. Brown
ing, who had been employed by the com
missioners, found that they had not
proceeded legally in regard to the Matte
son estate, and that, 10 make the matter
legal another jury must be called to assess
damages again Mr.. Browning was then
authorized to proceed in the matter and
have it settled, this ti,ue. in legal form.
Our highway commissioners are either
entirely ignorant of the law or they are
purposely delaying the completion of this
road, so much needed by the people, and a
great many OF our citizens think the delay
is intentional. For the past year they have
done nothing toward building the road.
At every meeting which they have held
there has been some b!uuder which had to
be corrected before the road could be put
through, but as soon as that was corrected
another mistake was discovered, and thus
the building of the road has been delayed
aud there is now a fair show that nothing
will be doue for some time to come.
Every business man in this city knows
and realizes the benefits the city would
derive from the upper part of the county
if this road was put through. The pres
ent river road is always in very bad con
dition and was almost or entirely impas-
sable during the late heavy rains, and tha
a great many farmers went to Hampton Il
do their trading rather than compel thei
horses to drag heavy farm wagor
through tie mud and water to this city
If the new road at the foot Of the bluff hat
been put through they would have com'
to this city. The people of this city ar
getting tired of waiting for the highway
commissioners to build this road, and the.
begin to manifest their displeasure in mos
emphatic censure.
