We took drive on Monday evening
last over the Gulf road and took squint
at the work of the Blakeslee boys. They
have done a good job, as well in rock cut
ting as in filling. Instead, however of
leaving the driveway from the foot of the

tiOn and the bridge, and taken an obique
course instead of a right angle, and con.
tinued the grade from the bridge to the
steep pitch, uniform. This would have
been better Arrangement for both OBJ
jects. The rock cutting and gutter are
both well, and the job credtable one.
Our commissioners should not let the
season pass without the contemplated
work on the other side, No better time
to finish the job than the present.
