the Town of Maiden Rock and such work was
done in temporary manner. There is but very

a permanent manner is voted down and said road
has been dangerous to drive over Tor some time
Therefore be it resolved that the road and

vestigate this road and bridges and compel said
town to provide means to build said road in
permanent perm, manner and report to the next meet
