Matchless is the name of the new Post
| Office which has been quite recently
established in this section, situated
about three miles west Of Glengary
in the vicinity of Mt. Carmeal
church,. The establishment OF this
office will fill long felt want of the
people Of this section. And as the de-
partment has honored us in this par
ticuiar. we do trust that the State
Legislature would give us better
Road Law. A law that would give
us better Roads, under the present
system of Road working. the Roads
in thls section are almost lmpassibl Q
| for heavy hauling nine months in
the year, and yet the people are tax
ed both in money and labor compelled
| to pay direct tax, besides being
compelled TO do two days labor on the
roads or be cussed out of his ooss.
count the number of men IN each dis
triet that are subject to the Road
Law and you have quite an army,
count the money that is paid out of
the peoples pocketbook as a direct
Road Tax and you have quite sum,
put these two elements together and
it does appear TO our minds that ii
these two elements CT houses, Were
judiciously managed the result would
be better roads the year round.
The fact is too many OF our road
supervisors are az dumb as jacks as to
good road making.
