TIE or,!cl 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 he
would either send the road crowd
back and comped the overscer to COM
ply with the road law. as TO road
working or resign as supervisor. We
have roads over in this part os No. 3
town.h:p that have not been worked
in three years. | will say six years,
and that is the road leading from
Brazzlcman : Ferryinto the Columbia
road half way between the Pettus
Chick place and the old Oxncr place.
1t is partially patched. not even
whole patched every year. But this
year it hasn't been touched at all,
and if man in buggy can ride over
it without <pilling part Of his reli-
zion. why he could safely start a
across the Rocky Mountains. There is
labor enough on said road by
beng worked according to the road
law tc keep said road in travelling
condition. But nobody ever comes to
look atcr it. We pay taxes all the
same. If parties that have GOOD
roads to travel on were to 90 over said
road why they would think that the
supervisor was dead.
