they require Improvement you should
present the matter In the strongest
and most positive way to the patrons
and road officials, informing them thai
improvements must be made as soor
as practicable II, after a reasonable
time has elapsed, the Improvement
have not been made or started, yo'
win report the fact to this office II
order that action may be taken looking
to the discontinuance of the service.
