THE BLUR STUR ROAD.
(To the Editor.)
1 perceive with astonishment that a portion of the road leading to Blue Spur has been shut against traffic, another road having been constructed by the Chinese, to enable, them to work the old road for yold. Now, Sir, it is well known that this was one of the best roads in the province, the same being pitched and g.-avelled, and in use for many years, and sufficiently wide to enable the largest wagons to pas 3 each other, and room to spare. Now, Sir, the road is apparently tc be destroyed, and what are the public to get in exchange '? — a road cut out of the sidling of the hill, about ten feet wide with stones spread over it, and totally unlit for heavy traffic ; if two carts meet, one of them as a mater of necessity must back out. I must sny that whoever has consented to take this new road instead of the old must be a stranger to what a road should be, or else some influence must have been brought to bear. I, for one, would not object to :my road being di vented if another equally good were given in exchange, and I must Fay that in !hu instance, at all events, the public are the losers. — lain, <tc,
