It was also resolved that the Secretary write the Ross Borough Council drawing their attention to the state of the South road on the south side in the Ross Borough, and to point out it* would be most advisable now to have that portion of the road made again on its original route on the flat below, and to inquire whether the Ross Borough would support the proposal.
