The following . are our reasons for making this request: 1. The read` commissioner has. informed us that if our road had a black- top the snow plows could come down our hill much sooner than is now poss- ible. Now, we have to wait until' the large snow plow is available. This usually .results in our losing several hours of work each time we have a storm. 2.

In scime cases; business is very much impaired by the condition of the roads , 'because the road remains impossible for several hours at a time. 4.
