Monkton, N. G. R. RI am glad to repor
that since the last Monkton items were sent II
action has been taken by taxpayers OF Monk
ton and vicinity. A petition has been clrcula
ted by Messrs W. r. Matthews and W.
Sheeler, business men of Monkton, to which
they got 60 signers, and several personal letters
were written to the County Commissioners
! Mr.. Henry g. Shirley, roads engineer, was u[
on Friday afternoon of last week to look al
the bridge and promised Immediate action
If our road commissioners OF the districts
were strictly non partiZan instead OF many
times there are men appointed who are simply
intended as lubricant to the party machine,
| and the result is the roads and taxpayers SUI
| fer for it. Our supervisor and bis men are now
at work on the hills, but while their efforts
will afford relief it is not permanent as the
first heavy rain will undo it all by washing
the sand off and then nothing is left but the
loose stones. IF the taxpayers and road COM
missioners could devise some plan by which it
could be improved permanently it would save
money in the end.
