on the 4th eon. brought a parcel to .him

It was sent by a lady, who no doubt

eaye instead of "2" plank he put on
seven and also repaired the railing on
both sides of bridge. The work is not
yetoomplete as a few' more plank are
needed and a load of gravel to go to the
end of bridge. Mr. Blake would like
Mr. Taxpayer to sign hie name if be has
more to say and at least tell a part of
