| The road was then covered with lay
er Of clean sand for the purpose OF ABB
sorbipg any tar hat might work itself

It is failure and that the Road, after
Its completion, should be covered with
| a light dressing OF one dust, which
ifoF having SO many vods AS sand, will
more tffectually take up any surplus
