The new roads have suffered somewhat
by the wet weather. A gentleman who
knows considerable about roads says the
one that will run around the hill by the
stock pens will never amount to anything.
The drains that have been laid are too far
apart and will soon fill up, and the road
bed will slide down the hill. The roads
should be put down right at first, or they
will never be any account. Taxpayers have
q right to demand this.
