furnishing material for the road, with per-
mission TO haul the same over their lands

II is our opinion, predicted upon past
experience, that when completed this road
will be one of durability, easily MAINTAIN

All cities should be proud OF superior

IL Is gratifying to know that Its importance
Is dawning upon the citizens of Ottawa
