most lamentable commentary upon

sidered one Of the cleanest places to be

the government {
The work ofcross-laying the roadway
leading from Cumberland bridge this
way is about the only remedy the town
could apply to the present bad state of
That highway, yet we think a more
improvement would be
restle similar to the one on the other
ide Of the bridge.
