To the Editor Of The Robssenian.
It seems that there is a
great deal of dissatisfaction in
our section and all over the
county, SO far as l can learn,
concerning the present road
| system. The roads are III
awful conition and the present
system of work will not mend
them, SO | suggest to the coun-
ty commissioners that they let
out the roads in sections. Say
that in every school district
they appoint supervisor to
work the roads in his district;
or let the school committee
men IN each district take oath
that they will do justice to the
road just as they do to the
school, and let them let out the
road to a supervisor and let
them inspect the road before
) they sign his order for his pay
If something is not done it
: will soon be impossible TO hau
any supplies and fertilizers
! from towns in Robson count
to make cotton on, or to hau

Hoping that some step ma
