AlmanacS were i'll use long before the art o
printing was discovered, but since the advent
of the movable types and the printing press
their number and varieties have become
legion. Millions upon millions OF them ARE

The Level Route.
CHURCHvU.LE, Dec. &c

CHURCHvILLE, Dec. 20.
To THE .EGIS:
The letter from Aldino is altogether an
exaggerated statement and withal fails
to bring out much argument in favor OF
the Aldino pike When we read the
opinions of an organized body like the
Deer Greek Farmers Club" we must
certainly see there is no question about
which way the pike should go, also we
see b. unprecedented persons who have no
personal interest in the road that it is
the unanimous opinion excepting one
i'll favor of the road going by the way Of
Level.
This, the Board of County Commits
SioucrS will give some consideration III
making n decision on these TWO roads
The most direct route between any two
points is the shorter one and the number
tax payers coming out on the Level road
is 10 rather than 20. Neteel safe to say
the taxes paid BY these 40 will double the
amount represented on the Aldino road.
The material is no consideration in this
question since it has already been taken
in the estimate as given by Prof. Johnson
State Engineer. Suffice to say it can be
had and in abundance.
Mr.. Woolsey had no clause in his will
whereby his money was to be appro-
priated to the construction of county
bridges and we don't consider this any
part of the expense attached to the ma
cadamizcd road work. The bridge AT
Barnes branch should be built by the
county and if the pike go by Aldiuo it is
only matter of short time until the
county will have to build this bridge.
Taking the expense of building the bridge
from the total cost of the Level pike and
we have the additional expense of the
two roads considerably less than 81, 900.
This money is the only point made i'll the
"Aldino letter This $4,000 on tic
Level road means to make it a good
graded road as good us the Aldino road
could be and better on account of bcIn.
Il better foundation.
In consideration of the many advarta-
gcs. the public convenience, the soil c. IL
ditions. the greater farming belt, the
greater tax paying section, the greater
business highway; wesay after thought
fully considering these things that we
think this sum of $4,000 should not
stand between the Board and Il decision
in favor of the Level road. II. b. Il.
