aims are being installed, and just
wv automobiles should be caution
| against the bitches that are being
lg across the road for the installa-
on of the drains. 1t is understood
lat this stretch of road will be oil

ay between Reedson and Halltown,
nd as a result the road between
lese two points is now in the best
f order.
