FROM the general complaints which
come to us from different points, we e1-
pect to hear shortly of the indictment of
road supervisors for maintaining or per
mitting nuisances in the shape of roads
which are practically impossible. Each
supervisor is required to keep the roads
in his district in condition for use, and
to this end may call out the men of his
district liable to services of that kind
and give receipts good hereafter. 1t is
the opinion of good lawyers that super
visors are liable to fine and penalty for
their neglect to perform the duty i'm
posed on them by law.-O. 7. Ne1cs.
