For the past few years we have seen and
heard great deal about good roads and
rightly so, in what way can the public money
be expended to better advantage? Seeing
that we have had such bad travelling for the
last few months and expect considerable more
before the snow has all disappeared, we
thought it might be we'll to call attention to
the great improvement in that part of the
road between this place and Bellows Falls
that was fixed last fall with the crushed stone
The most sceptcal can not fail to notice
the difference unless they are bind or devoid
of feeling. The part that was fixed is COM
paratively good travelling, even before all the
snow has gone, while the rest OF the road is
simply wretched. We hope to see the good
work resumed as soon as practicable and per-

little public spirit in the minds of our
neighbols s,who own portion of the road.
