conclusion as 70 the best and most
economical method. OF course.
The Gazette does not know what has
been done IN Powhatan or Stone
house districts. nor do We know the
extent Of the work in jamestown.
We are told. however. by a member
4 the board from another district
hat the roads in Jamestown are
better than be mad ever seen them.
This Supervisor went further ia his

roads and said they we're THE
BEST HE HAD EVER SEEN IN
