PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ON
COUNTY ROADS.
County Court will meet next Wcdnes-
j
dav. Of important measures to be coi - .
sidereil one will be the building of a
bridge across Little Applegate on the new
road up Applegate, for which a petition
lias lately been signed by many of the
leading taxpayers of the county. As the
bridge is an absolute necessity to enable
tint new road to be ptssable during the
period of high water it is probable that
the petition will lie granted.
Another matter that w ill be up for con
sideration will be the improvement of
the Jackson creek road. This road lias
lieen in a demoralised condition since the
high water two years ago and several ef
forts have been made to secure its im
provement and to dig a permanent chan
nel for the creek, but through a conflict
of the interests of the adjoining property
owners ami the opposition of all improve
ment of the road by the antediluvian
element here, the creek and the road
have been left to hold joint occupancy of
the roadway to the serious inconvenience
