The solicitations of the committee appoointed to procure gravel and sub- scriptions in town and the surrounding townships to build the new concrete road on ,Station Street met with a most generous response on all sides, and the many contributors are to- be congratulated ,for their generosity and kindly assistance rendered' for this most worthy cause.
