The old trouble has broken out anew
amongst the farmers who have to use the
Concord Turnpike. They claim that the
pikeis not kept in good repair and for
that reason they should not be compelled
to pay toll. On complaint Of a number
Of farmers, Squire Sasse has appointed s.
II. Baynard, VIM. Lawton and VIM. j.
Armstrong, a commission to inspect the
condition Of the pike. Should the COM
mission report adversely, then the farmers
will not have to pay toll until the neces-
sary repairs are made. There is no doubt
but that the commission will be against
the Concord Turnpike Company.
