TAZEwELL'S ROAD LAW.

The road law for Tazcwcll county
passed by the legislature, has been
approved and signed by Governor
Davis. The law gives the Board of
Supervisors the power to establish
toll gates, regulate the width of the
tires, on vehicles, etc. 1t is now up
to the Supervisors.
This paper hns been pleading for
years for broad tires on wagons. No

more to protect our ronds. The toll
gate question is not so certain, but
there can be no doubt OH the tire
