the improvement will be made a
peedily aa possible. He is in favor of
using the Umber at hand along tb
road to make tbe improvement on bills
out of corduroy instead of plank, be
cause he think tbe improvement
would be more durable and would con
form better to the demands of the lo
cality, yet Mr. Ayres is a liberal reas
onerand will not halt between two
opinion, because he says the road
must be improved and the work should
be done this summer. Mr. Ayres gave
us, as an example of the condition of
the road in some places, the informa
tion that on the way in he pnssed an
empty wagon atanding in the middle
of the road which had been abandoned
by the owners evidently beoauae it
could not be pulled out of the mod
hole it had plunged into. Mr. Ayres
owns 300 acres of land along the route,
aud says he will gladly pay the S-mill
tax for ten years to Improve the road.
