Editor Courier-Herald Dear Sir
In your paper of March 17th a notice
appears stating that at a meeting held
at Mulino Grnge hall on March 13th
the old committee was discharged and a
new committee appointed. As a matter
of fact that meeting was not called by
the road committee, and the road com
mitteelwas not appointed by anyone
taking vrt in that meeting. Neither
did anyone taking part in that meeting
contribute anything toward the survey
of the Molalla road, except F. G. Neu
kirshner gave one day's work. As for
the Buckner Creek route we were not
appointed a committee on that route.
Ae shall continue to act, however, as
the Mulino committee on the Molalla
road as instructed by those that ap
pointed us until we make our report and
are discharged.
