Tn re seems TO be some doubt ~ to
the position thu new supervisor OF han
celor district will take on road improve
ment. There n ed be no fears of Nj. + I
Hsislip. He will be iound on the side ol
good roads always. Bnt people mus
remember that the question does not de
pend on Mr.. Haisip, as he Is only one oi
the four SUPERVISORS. As n meter OF
fact. more sill depend on how Mr Waite
OF Livingston. votes on this quest -
than Mr.. Haisip. a. 1t IL thought that
Mr.. Andrews and Mr.. Haislip VIII be
favorable to good roads.
