for wnat tney nave done and are
doing on our "Stokes Ferry road
This is a great help to us whose
lot it is to travel this road, es
pecialiy in winter, 'inis road
could occupy the time of the gang
the entire winter and get no more
than justice. Still, we are thank
ful for what they have done
Now, if the road-working class o
people of Salisbury; township
could be induced to work and
keep up their section of the road,
then it would be a pleasure to
travelers. If we people down
here don't work the road, it won't
cost us less than $5.00 and net
over $25.00, but we don't know
whether it is against the law to"
work the road up there or not, but
presume it is, at least they don't
work" the road, and no one is
bound over to court for a misde
meanor. Here we work the road
and pay road tax, and if there is
anything else to oe done we are
right here. Lee.
