PROSPECTIVE RoA --A number. of
the ratepayers of Colborne are making
efforts to have a new road opened to
the •base .line,:from opposite the 1st cob,

deinned,•the people have determined to
take time by the forelockand have a.
• nearer road to Clinton. There' iq a
road allowance, within a half'.a hole,
of. the point in view but the approach
from it to the river is inaccessible, .'The
Oolborne people have re�qquest'ed`'the

old road allowance to Mr. Mair in ex-.
change for a road allowance across

oessful, there will be an excellent road'
through Colborne to Clinton.. The far-
mers of Colborne are very anxious to
do their. marketing'hoere, and should be
