Long Green, 18th District--The snow
blockade has not altogether been raised in this
neighborhood but all the roads are opened so
that one may get along by going partly through
the fields. The citizens of this community
showed their public spirit by turning out
large force and opening most of the important
| roads, some of which, for long distances, were
| from 3 to 10 feet deep, thus saving the road
fund quite sum which can be used for per-
manent improvements. This is an example
which should be followed by all communities
as at this time of year most people are not so
! busy and day or two's work in public interest
at this time will pay them good returns in
satisfaction of travelling over better roads with
out an increase in taxes to that extent.
