tiles are threatening to take off
the rural iree delivery mail routes
on account of the bad condition
of the roads. In this connection
you can find numbers of good
farmers in good circumstances
along these routes who are op
posed to the law passed at
the last Legislature, which was
introduced by one of York
County's representatives, provid
ing plan whereby we can have
permanent roads by taxation,
which IS the only way whereby
we can get them, and which will
be more beneficial to the farmer
than any other party who uses
the road, because it enhances
the value OF his lands and prop
erty, saves his stock, vehicles,
and time, and enables him to get
hSS mail each day as though he
were living in the city.
