Editor Orange6urg Democrat:
AS there seems TO be misunder-
standing abroad in relation to the
Road Law, l desire that you have the
kindness to give us some information
on the subject. 1t has always been
the custom that where q man remov-
cd tree or other obstruction from
the highway, for him TO be excused
from regular road duty at least one
day for such work. Recently, how
ever, Mr.. j. +. jackson, rcspccta-
BILE citizen Of our township, was ar
rested and dragged before the court
here for refusing to work the road,
when he had removed dangerous and
impossible distractions therefrom,
shortly previous TO the time he was
summoned to perform said duty.
Nj Nj. jacEson had always understood
that if one did the county service BY
unobstructing any Of her highways,
he would receive credit therefor.
Not SO with him, however. ME~h
d. Whetsell,, highway surveyor 4i6Sf
this district or township, reported
him and he was tried before his Hon
or, I. d. A. Connor, and found not
guilty. Mr.. Editor, ought not a man
to receive credit for doing the public
4 benefit like unto that which Mr..
Jackson rendered? ENQUIRER.
