A very decided improvement is being
made on the road in COlerain township,
known as the "Black Rock" which now
passes the site of the old furnace of that
name. Some months ago, after several
views and reviews tho now road was laid
out, and is now almost completed, except
the bridge over the Octoraro. which will
be built by the county. BY this now route
all the hills and tho really dangerous ford.
ing of the old road are avoided.
In the whole lower end of this county
the roads have been very much improved
in the last few years, both in changes Of
route and in quality of road beds. Some
new bridges which have been built have
also largely added to the convenience of
public travel.
