excellent example of what should be avoid
ed in road building. The slippery con
dition of the soil from the predomnanct

argument against this sort of road build

allowable anywhere else. The road is.st
exceedingly browning that it is well nigt
impossible for carriages to pass without
tipping over, while the pedestrian mus
either go in the gutter or in the mud IN
the middle of the road.
