a characteristic effort on the part of DIR.

performed, in which Rev. Mack met the
requirements of the confession Of faith,
and with the laying on Of the hands Of

Sequachee, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
In reply 10 yours of June 29,h,
asking permission tn travel our
mountain road, have this to say.
The use of this road by the pub.
lie is matter to which have Civ
en- much serious thought. We
built it primarily that we might
have better access to our mountain
lands, and hoping thereby to even4
tual.y enhance their value. The
expense was large, and the cost OF
maintenance will be considerable
and constant. | do not doubt that
Others who might find its use cons
venieht would be glad to contribute
towards the expense if they could
legally d, SO. Upon its compile,
tion | made inquiries in this di.
rection thinking that as the road
was entirely over our own land,
we could control il and permit its
use at a reasonable toll, being will
/ ing to guarantee TO tXpend all
sums 80 received in keeping up
the road. But / was informed by
Maj. Thos H. Hill that Under the
laws of the state thiscould not be
done. This was set back to me
as | desired to accommodate the
people having occasion to travel
up and down the mountain, so far
as ] could consistently do So, with>
out imposing too large a. burden
upon our own lands. On account
of this information, and because it
was we'll that the road should be
allowed time to harden and SETTLE,
then did nothing more about it,
except to forbid its use 10y the pub
lie, hoping that this prohibition
might he temporary.
| am now in correspondence
with with our agent and attorneys
relative to this matter and sharl
give it thorough inv estigation with
view of bringing about some ar
rangemsnt beneficial 10 all con-
; cerned. | do Lot at all object to
tie County making this public
road provided they assume reas
enable part of its cost, and, of
course hereafter maintain it. And
iii this as in every other public
improvement I'VE shall he ever
re tdy 80 meet the public more than
hall way. But it would be entire
ly unreasonable to ask us to throw
this expensive road open and to
maintain it at our own cost, espec>
tally as we as yet are deriving no
PARTICULAR benefit from it.
We shall endeavor to keep it in
fair repair, for our own use and
for the use of tenants and purchaS-
ers of our mountain lands, but
further than this we cannot be ex
pected to 60 uctil some definite
arrangements are made. You may
rest assured, that if you were the
only applicant, | would cheerfulIy
grant your desire but / cannot
make it a precedent for others.
| write thus fully that you may
know our position, aud you are at
liberty to make such use of this
letter as you see fit.
Very truly yours,
W. L. MELCHER.
