ForJ e information of the public, we
give b the road law as to who are liable
to roe tys and tho penalty for non-com-
"AnNls.hcdIed, male persons, between
the % sixteen and fifty years, shall be
liat nily, to work on the public high
way eds. It shall be the duty of
any 4 furnish 10, the overseer, O
list con Hnamss1 N persons in
hss "a 80 llssl q ~ sa..7.-hsn,
ey.er heshall bsS requirA Of him BY
Said d>efseer. Upon the failure Of any
employer 10 comply with such demand, he
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof, before any Trial Justice,
shall pay fine of ten dollars, or ten days
imprisonment. for every such offence"
"Any person liable to road duty, who
shall havebeeu duly warned twelve hours
before theday fixed in his notice for such
working stating the hour and place of
working hall be subject to the direction of
the overser in charge. If any person of
the legal tge, shall neglect to appear, or
shall refus to work upon the highways and
roads, (ha'iug no justi6able excuse,) accord
ing TO the direction of the overseer, he shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and.
upon conviction thereof before Trial
Justice, shall be fined in a sum not less than
five dollars, nor more than ten dollars, or be
/ imprisoned ia the county Jail for period
Of not less than FIVE nor more than twenty
days.
| We heard it stated nG long since, that the
road law could not be enforced and tha [
road hands were fools for paying attention
| TO orders to work the roads from overseers.
We think the above extract from the law
is sufficient to knock The black out Of such
n statement, and as q friend to the hands on
the publicFoads, we advise them to pay no
attention d snch wild assertion for it is
very evident that the person who made such
q remark sidnot know what he was talking
about
1t is very wrong in any one to advise
another to..disregard law to which pen
atty is attached, for it often brings trouble
that could be avoided.
1t is certainly to the interest of every
farmer, business man, l,borer, preacher aud
teacher that the public roads should be kept
in good travelling condition, and until a
better system 0f working The roads Is adopt.
ed, the present system should be carried
out 10 the very letter of the law.
The whole trouble is, there are too many
who are chronic k:ckers against any and al
laws that happens to not suit them.
