Hon. c. W. Gates, state High.
way Commissioner:
My Dear Mr.. Gates
After meeting you yesterday
noralng ! remained 10 Manchester
until mid afternoon. and found the
sentiment in favor Of the building %
a new road IN place Of the present
Peru turnpike.
A | understand matters from you
direct. you have offered the tollgate
company $4,000 for their road
which lhey have met with an offer
Of sale at $4,000. You also offer
slo.eo0 for the building Of new
road.
Nos ! would respectfully suggest
that II would be better 10 offer even
$4,000 for new road than TO ao-
cash theirs Al $4,000 for the fol-
lowing reasons
I, would probably require the
difference $4,000 TO put Turn
Pike ID the condition meeting the
requirements Of new road, as II
is nov. comparatively. In very bad
shape and the handy materials for
repair are quite exhausted
