of the road has been always doubt
ed 90 account of the low marshy
nature of the soil, but the opinion
of several eminent engineers has
done away with that imaginary
or supposed difficulty, and it is
we'll ascertained that a good and
solid foundation can be found for
building the road between the two

understand how the streets and
sidewalks Of our town, the msst
easily drained and kept in order
