ROAD REPAIRS
A part OF the macadam road In Centre
Vile has recently been repaired by the
town by the placing OF a top dressing of
gravel upon II. While the gravel will
make fairly good road. II has rendered
the macadam at the point useless, and
the street cannot be replaced In it's former
condition without complete macadamiz-
ing
While the gravel may answer the pur-
pose for short time as soon as IL be-
dusty and the hard macadam under II
will allow II TO be washed by rain and
will probably place the street in a worse
condition than formerly.
