DR.. Russell presented a petition from

old Volcano road with the main road

ton sets out:
THAT the said trail was built of ferns
and mostly at our own private expense.
1t was built in anticipation of the build
ing of a road by the government which
was promised fore than five years ago
when the land was opened to market
and settled upon;
That several legislatures have APP
propriated money for the building of
such road which has never materialized
THAT the trail is in such a bad con-
ditiOn that our children in goinng to
school have to wade knee-deep in water
and mud and that every piece of lum-
Der and goods of every kind can only
reach us by being packed a great dis
lance on a mans back, as a pack horse
cannot travel over the trail, rendering
the communication with the outside
world well nigh impossible.
That we have to, either abandon our
settlements or request the legislature
for an appropriation of SIG, 400 for the
the old volcano road with the main
road running through the new Olaa
tract"
