Our township fathers met on Saturday
and appointed the necessary money for
keeping in repair the different districts of
road in this town. Some of the roads are
badly washed and needed more money
than last year, but the committee didn't
see it that way, consequently some Of the
overseers refused to accept the order. Five
hundred dollars was given to the main
road with Henry Steffen erseer, and its
TOO bad to cut off the side roads, so that the
money is insufficient to keep them in de.
cent order. So, we will wallow through
gutter mud for another year, for instead
Of three committeeman we have only one.
