THE nATHEW'S HILL ROAD.

A party Of citizens, including
County Commissioner Roberts, went
out Thursday on a tour of inspection
of the Mathews hill road, and Mr..
Roberts has ~decidedgto have a survey
taken next week, looking to grading
down the hill now used and also one
of the proposed new road, lying along
the bluff just north of the old road.
An excellent opportunity is afforded
the county for making one of the best
roads leading into the city, if it will
adopt the proposition of turning west.
in front of Mr.. Halls place at the foot
OF the hill and making a road along
the side of the hill parallel with the
present road. The ascent to the top
of the bluff would be very easy, the.
sand on the old road would be
avoided, and almost an air line to.
South Bend would be had. In the
mind of those qualified to judge, it is
estimated that the new road could be
constructed for less money than it
would cost to put the Matthew's hill
road to any kind of a climbable grade,
and then the same old sand pit
for a hundred or more rods would be
left to make the drawing of heavy
loads impossible.
1t is hoped that the county commits
sioners, now that they propose to take
the matter up, will make a new road,
and thus render the improvement
permanent and satisfactory to the
large travel obliged to use it.
