Mr.. Riggs Has Something to Say on the
Road Question.-Mr. L. Dudley Riggs, OF
Green Spring Valley, this week sent letter to
the County Commissioners presenting his side
NJ the case relative to the changes in the loca-
ton of the public road at Stevenson Station.
He saws: There has been considerable talk in
the I'd district in regard to the condition of the
new road at Stevenson Station recently opened
bv me and now under course OF construction.
IA am leaving Stevenson tomorrow for my
summer vacation and as Mr.. Crosby was talk
ing to me today in regard to this matter it
being impossible for me to appear before you
to explain matters, l was prompt to write to
YOU and explain my ideas, understanding and
nlans on this road question.
HFirst-The public who travel to and from
Stevenson Station are required to pass over
the new road for distance of no more than
% feet and the condition OF this 20 feet OF road
Is certainly as good as that of the average
country road and is nowise dangerous for the
safety and welfare of the public.
'Second-The public who use the freight
switch at Stevenson are obliged to travel over
About so yards of this new road and certainly
This new switch and road are far more accessl-
BILE and convenient than the old one formerly
hsed at Stevenson. From these people, 10 my
knowledge, there has been no criticism or COM
| paint.
| | "Third-It was distinctly understood and IN
| fact embodied in the original contract for the
| opening of the road that the county reserved
| the right to build the road at its pleasure, put
| TO complete it within one year, and therefore
| il became necessary for me to sign contract
| to allow the old road to remain open for one
year from the date of acceptance OF the new
one, which time expires on September 80,
1908. Now, the contract for furnishing the
| material for completing the new road is IN my
bands and the work has been begun, and with
| good weather and favorable conditions feel
sure it will be completed by September Sd.
| "Fourth-The old road that the public
travels now, and has travelled for years, and
which passes my house, is in better condition
today than it has been since have lived here
Now, then after summing up these facts
what right has the public to criticise or com 81
plain about the completion of new road tina
in no way interferes with the freedom ant
comfort the old road which they have sdd tTsS
eled for fifty years or more mignt aq M 'H va
under the direction of Roads Engineer w. w
Crosby / have placed barriers at each end O
the new road to be kept there until the Wori
is completed and the road turned over for tn
public use, but even after taking the precau
tons, there seem to be some people who lnsls
on tearing these barriers down, but, OF course
they travel the road at their own risk"

and very pretty lot as they skip about over the
fields like young lambs. He has from 20 to ~
mares and nearly that many foals.
