Tie order of the day here is road
patching, which only lasts until the
first rain: comes. Our supervisor
ought to inspect the roads here after
they are patched then I know ne
would either send the road crowd
back and comped the overseer to com
ply with the road law, as to road
working or. resign as supervisor. we
have roads over in this part Of No. 5
town..h:p that have not been worked
in three years. 1 will say six years,
and that is the road leading from
Brakeman Ferryinto the Columbia
road half way between the Pettus
Chick place and the old Oxner place.
It is partially patched, not eyen
whole patched every year. But this
year it hasn't been touched at all'
and if man in buggy can ride over
it without spilling part OF his rell-
gion, why he could safely start a
across the Rocky Mountains. There IS
labor enough on said road by
be.nc worked according to the road
law tc keep said road in travelling
condition. But nobody ever comes to
look ater it. We pay taxes all the
same. If parties that have good
roads to travel on were TO 60 over said
road Why they would think that the
supervisor was dead.
