The petitions for new roads or for
expensive road improvements are, if
possible, more generally signed than
are the applications for new bridges.
One of the most important improve
ments undertaken by the County
Commissioners is the Bel Air and
Churchville road. Every considera-
ton of public convenience and public
policy demanded that the work OF
permanent improvement should be
commenced upon it, and therefore we
are not surprised to see the work, cost
ing over 81, 600 and representing an in
crease of 3 cents on every 800 of taxa.
BILE property, recommended in four
petitions by 325 citizens and tax pay
