Charles Town, w. Va, Dec. 1890.
We, your Committee, appointed by
your honorable body on November
Bird, 1919, to view and report on the
advisability of opening and establish
ing as District Road, the road about
a mile from Charles Town leading
from the Charles Town and Berry
vile pike into Fairview Cemetery, re-
port as follows:
We recommend only, after viewing
said road, that if the Trustees of said
Cemetery Company will get out the
rock themselves, and place same at
a convenient point near the en-
trance of this road from the Charles
Town and Berryville pike, that the
County have same crushed and put
on this road as it is in very bad con-
dition and much in need of rock at
once. We disapprove of the County
opening and maintaining this road,
as a District road.
