Show farmington ITEMS 0 letter aletter roads called for fop abade my commences and other locals editor CLIPPER the county road each side of farmington needs a few minutes attention of th the e road supervisor in through and each side aide of centreville Centt Cen eville treville the same condition of af affairs fairs I 1 exist while in bounri ful portions of the road dont don t require any worrying of the su peivi sors concerning them if there is any reasonable excuse for our supervisor not keeping our main road in good enough condition to admit of loads of hay or carriages carri aget being driven above a slow walk without danger of tipping over the excuse should certainly be explained to the public the great statesman colfax in seeking to detract credit from our early settlers for reclaiming this country said it wa swater that did the work I 1 am not so great as the eloquent colfax was but I 1 say with no fear of contradiction that it is water that spoils our roads and I 1 further eay that it itis is the almost criminal negligence of the supervisors thit that accounts for the water so damaging them our county court willingly pays all expense of conducting public water across the roads and gives positive instructions to road officers to see that private parties do not allow irrigation water to damage them therefore it is very evident that it all depends on said craod officers the trouble is they go to sleep 1 1 the people are asleep also it if they were not they would awaken the I 1 sleeping road agents and to quote from the good old book when the blind leads the blind we all stumble and tip our bay wagons and buggy carriages into the gullies or washouts wa shouts together and it serves us right some months ago a private ditch crossing in bountiful was wag reported by a CLIPPER correspondent to be in active force sending a stream along the road both directions from said ditch and as it had been doing so almost continuously for several weeks considerable damages was done to the road and the CLIPPER was asked to report the following week whether said dabag was made 9 good by the owners of the ditch or by the county tax payers but horrid to relate months have hare passed and the damaged road is not yet repaired and it is now risking life for farmers living north of that locality to send any but a gentle team and experienced teamster to salt lake city with a load of hay a as 3 the dangerous place above alluded to is at the bottom of a steep hill some people find fault lers I 1 say they should be pensioned because they too often neglect their own work to find something to grumble at and thus fall fail to acquire a competency for them selves bat it is folly to say that grum alers are nuisances when we see how our interests suffer it if not grumbled at and especially especial lv when we witness the awakening among those who are grumbled at Until the occupation is appreciated mor ethan elthan it is at present by the
