I'm this report to you, gentlemen Of the
Club, We have simply used facts as recorded
in our court and patent to every. one, ana
we submit to you now the copies OF THESE
papers made from the files, which will give
YOU some idea Of the workings and expense
OF this present system, and it addresses II

ferred. -.

surprise to any one that we should chafe and
eroanP Shall We be asked to remain silent
while all OF comfort and prosperity to us is
at issue? We attack the system, feeling that
we are in defence Of our homes.
There is time and opportunity, it seems,
for the people. the press generally, and
politicians--for everything under the sun
save the vital subject OF the roads. The
Richmond Dispatch alone but recently
raised voice in our behalf, and the time
has arrived for the people to follow its lead
and demand that something be done.

by the property-owners, who, If they per-
ceived any corresponding benefit or i'm
provement to the roads over which they are
compelled to struggle to their homes, would
make no complaint. But II there is any
value received by them it is in some section
O! which we know nothing, and there may
be some one or two shining exceptions to
the gloomy field we survey.
Now what is the remedy, IL any? We
believe that the city Of Richmond is nearly,
IL not quite, as much interested in this great
improvement as we are. For what could
more conduce to her prosperity than the
opening and making accessible Of these ave-
nues for her extension, comfort, and plea
sure, as well as to supply her tables with the
wealth Of necessaries we producer For
along this one road alluded to numbers OF
wagons daily pass, loaded with everything
necessary for her market, from o distance
Of some fifty miles. And just think OF it !:
this city, with population OF over u, GOO,
and net @ doesn't road out OF ct y - 8. 81
Richmond has civil and criminal jurtsdic'
ton for one mile beyond her corporate
limits + In her interest, then, Is IL asking
too muck that she shall circunNailate her
capital to the extent:of her. Jurisdiction, TO
be designated by sigma by macadamlzed
roads Of shy twenty feet wide, and have her
grand boulevard driving from tue reservoir
on the west around to the river on the
south : But whether this is done or not,
whether we must take mp the line from that
point OF from the present city limits, 1t is
clear that until ne have roads that can be
travelled the prosperity and life OF Henrico
county must lie dormant and await that be-
ginning. ts s
sTurapIkes are unpopular, and seem to
excite continual strife, and upon a survey
of The Whols field we conclude TINT the sys-
tenn OF letting ont the roads ito contract,
under proper legislation, can best and most
e6ectnaliy serve our purpose. We would
