The constables made their custom
ary returns and the same were filed.

Orange by the constables of those
townships.
Besides a section of road in Main
township the constables also reported
the bridge over Catawissa Creek, near
Ndss' to be in very dangerous state

directed the District Attorney to
send up indictments against the super

The roads must be kept in good con-
ditlon and dereliction of the super.
