There was an appropriation made at

way to be done at the expense of the
state. This was with the understand
ening and Strengthening of the road
would be donated by the abutting prop
erty owners, especially as the commit
tee had been assured by the owners
that the required lands would be cheer
fully given in aid OF the improve
ments.

tee to have this road Strengthened for
a distance of three miles, but there

in the plans. Report comes to the COM
mittee that after talk with local
legal light, one of the property owners
now asks financial reeompense for the
land desired to remove a. sharp angle
in the read, and that this backward
action has become contaEious in spots,
which will not only tend to prevent the
needed improvement in its entirety, but
will cause vexatious delays in the
progress of the work, and general dis
appointment to the people.
