mountain grade on this route Is very good,
with one exception, and that IS, 1t Is not

wide enough in places. Il lsa hard rub
for wide tread wagon to pass between
the trees. Some large rocks and stumps
remain IN the center of the road, which
makes !; very rough to pass over with
single horse rig. This should be looked

Co should be made TO comply with the
charter In regard 10 the width ofthe road,
making Il safe for the public TO travel
over"
