Show Where Does The i Fault Lie?; Our district road supervisor does not repair our mountain road because our County Commissioner Com-missioner does not want him to repair it, saying that the road ! , "fund is getting small. j The road has not been in a suitable condition to haul heavy : loads over for the past two years, , being so sidling the driver can hardly sit in his seat in a number of places. ; The trouble is all caused by I . sheep herds being driven up' and down the road, filling up the ( 31 upper wheel track, thus making : Iyj the upper side full of loose dirt I 7 and rolling in rocks which arc t never cleaned out only by one 1 sheep man, Mr. Pace of Har- j 11 mony, and nothing is done to' If collect damages. The recent! If heavy rain has cooperated with ft the damage done the road by' If sheep. The water followed down If the read for a half mile at a time , 1 1 without sufficient water course to , f I carry it out of the way, washing II the road from six inches to three II feet deep, uncovering large rocks j II and roots and making holes that , If are impossible to haul loads over. Vrv"' This necessitates that the people of Kanarra, Harmony and a great I mariy people of Dixie either, haul wood or go to Cedar for tfieir coal. They do this at a loss of $500 or $600 which would be , realized by coal miners andl haulers here. J -- The Kanarra people, also Har mony, wuld be very pleased it Mr. Henderson, County Road Commissioner, would come and inspect the road and oil her fix it or order it fixud, nsourtims for mountain work is 'gslthitf short. Wo are generally shut out about Noven)l)ar 15th. s i The town people are very dc- isirous of a new road eommis- ' ioner for our District, one who travels the road frequently and 1 knows the condition of our roads I without being told of it. ! There are some bad washes (across the road in the valley I which need filling in or bridging. Hoping this difficutly will be overcome in the near future we subscribe ourselves, I W. C.
