DON'T OBSTRUCT THE WATER COURSES
road supervisor asks us to call the attention of
the public to the importance of keeping the
water courses along side of the public roads
free from distractions. In cleaning up fence
rows brush frequently falls into the water cour-
ses and is allowed to remain there. Incalcu-
BILE injury is thereby done to the road, by
dammipg up the water and compelling it to
seek an outlet over the bed Of the road. The
complaint Is just and every good citizen should
bear it in mind.
