The secretary was au thorized to pay this amount to the managers and members of the exe cutive committee. Mr Well* has laid off a section of thie road using surveyors instru ments and xvill make it 30 feet wide, which width he thinks proper. Commenting upon the road build ing material for this county, Mr. Wells says that we have an excell ent quality of clay, but that the sand is not so good, not being a coarse grain, but composed of 'very small particles. The ideal sand-day road, he says, is that constructed with very coarse sand; the theory being that the grains of sand with the clay between them forms a ce ment.
