Now the companies who aVailed them

their property are filing bills with the

OF soldiers whose chief duty was to keep
their lines open and guard their property.
Nothing II is asserted, was said about
charging for carrying troops at the time
they were asked for. and IL was sup
posed that the roads would transport
them free Of cost. as their services were
chiefly needed in supporting the interests
of the roads This. however is not the
