BALGUERIE ROAD.
To the Editor. Now, Mr Editor, what doas Mr G. Armstrong want tlie Council to do for their white elephant? Hold buck supp ie* from the Board to oblige him, who does nothing else but find fault with both Council and Board. This man, after cutting this road to ribbons with his own teams, astually threatens an action if any accident occurs to them on the said road. If I remember right, when Mr Armstrong was worrying both Board and Council to make this Jacob's ladder of a road, he promised to keep it in repair; and, Mr Editor, if I had .my way, I would not let one penny of the ratepayers' money be spent on that particular road. The Council formed it because the Jioad Board objected to waste public money on such a fearfully irregularly graded piece of road. Mr Armstrong fairly worried them into making if, and it was a nice little job for them to try their hands on.—Yours, otc, PICKAXE.
