WHAT WE GET FOR OUR RATES. TO THE EDITOK. Sin, — Since we pay our road rates every yoar T presume we are entitled to get .something in return from the Road Board for our money. How much value the Makino ratepayers have bad for t heirs this year it is difficult to see. I believe a few holes bave been filled np witii metal, but where are tbe roadmeu vow when there is plenty of work to be done ? To my knowledge yesterday two horses fell while being driven along the Makiuo road, iv coaspqueuce cf the big boulders and loose stones, and Cinder Hill is absolutely dangerous, [presume someone will have to be killed before anything is done. How much I should like to know, would it cost the Road Board of onr rates to employ the roadmen to rake off the big stones, f nothing more '.' I am, Ac , C H. Ooote. Wavcrtrec, December lOtb, 1897.
