Show WATER ON THE HIGHWAY. . A correspondent from Spring City writes: "Is there no law against flooding the County Roads? ! If there is it should be enforced. The roads in this vicinity art flooded moft of the time." The County roads are for the use of the public and if any individual, company or incorporation, render the roads 1m passable, or cause inconvenience to the public, on complaint of the parties injured, damages can be collected; and yet on account of the unprecedented amount of surplus sur-plus water this year, which renders it almost uncontrollable, we should all be very careful about entering such complaints. None but a churl will complain of his neighbors for that -which is unavoidable; but where it is possible to confine the water to the. irrigation canal, it should be done of course; and if the responsible party fails to take a proper interest, complaints will be in order. |
