The board of supervisors met this MORN
ing. The following petition was presented
We the undersigned taxpayers appeal to
you for relief In the matter of the Arrow
head Toll Road company taking possession
Of our old mountain road running up Wat
erman canyon, and other matters.
First-SAn road running up the canyon
was county road when the Arrowhead
company constructed toll gate thereon.
and had been for over twenty years. We
now ask to have the gate located above
our old road so that those owning and hav-
ing places in the canyon will not be dam
aged by said toll gate. and our old picnic
grounds will be restored to the public.
We ask to have one-half rate for those
wishing to travel only portion Of the
road. as we consider 1t unjust for those
woodmen to pay full rates when they trav-
ell such a short distance.
Third-We are advised that the company
compels people going over the road to pur-
chase round trip tickets and discriminate
In rates on material hauled to and from the
mountains, charging more for wood than
valuable lumber.
Fifteen names were attached to the petit
tion. but no action was taken, the matter
being left over until next meeting.
