connect with the highway near the resi-
dence of Geo. ii. Moore, Esq, has been ac-
cOmplished; the success of the first part was
so pronounced that the extension was
natural and early consequence. 10 avold
the delay which the securing of the neces-
sary funds in advance would necessltate the
following ten men executed an an agree
ment guaranteeing the expenses. 1hOmas
{. Keys, W. Ii. Slsby, Horace w. Bailey
NJ. U. Knight A. w. Sisby, James b. Hale,
Alex Greer Geo H. Moore, Henry w.
Keyrs, and Edwin A. Bailey. They or,
gained as the Mt. Pulaski Carriage Road
Association with w. Ii. Silsby as superin-
tendent of construction and Jane b. Hale
as treasurer, and tile road as we now have
| 1t is most pleasing testimonial to the ener-
Ky and judgement with which Mr.. SilSby
| has discharged the duties OF his position.
| ut is rumored that he is now building an
other line of road which when completed
will extend from the Newbury town house
to the state capl oil, and though not new
one 1t Will need some repairs, and we hope
that the same measure of success may at
tend his latter undertaking as all must
agree he attained in his former.
The expenditures on the mountain road
extension are, for labor, $L900 5, for materi-
ais wire, dynamite ETC., $7788: making a
total OF $267.93, which with the amount
shown in the former report makes the total
expense OF the mountain road from high
way to highway. S402.20. the rights of way
having been donated by the owners of the |
land along the route Of the road. The eX-
tension has made accessible several views
to the east which rival the one from the OBJ |
servatory and when the trees on the brow
OF the mountain which now somewhat OBJ |
struct the views are removed a most pleas
ing panorama will be unfolded. while to the |
west, West Newbury village is already Wis |
IDLE and the views in that direction could |
be easily extended. Many will be interest
ed to know the distances and the following
may be taken as substantially correct: The
circuit drive is four miles and twenty rods,
the length OF the mountain road from high
way to highway is one and three-fifths
miles, the observatory is one mile from the
post office by the way of the north entrance
to the road, and is one third of a mile from
that entrance.
To the majority of visitors the most pleas
ing effects of the drive are secured by en-
tering the road from the south and driving
northward. While the road is entirely a
private enterprise it is open to all free of
expense, but this part of my report would
not be complete did | not add that James
b. Hale has subscription paper and would
bestOw his most winning smile upon all
friends of this worthy enterprise who may
feel moved to donate large or small sums.
Ride over the road and then call on him,

have paid the penalty of their guaranty it
