A small subsidey would enable a man to start. I have been at Skellicorn about it and told him Carlyon would suport him if he would gave an estimate what he could do it for besides his chance on the road with passengers and goods. Now as the Postmaster General is the man the map of the country would show him this is the most direct line and why not let us have the advantage. Politicks have nothing to do with the justice of this clame. The other side of the country got everything there own way two long and it is high time for us this side to look to ourselves. In the 2nd place you have got the Road Bill before the House and from what I can see it will be carried also. If so you will surely never allow the mane road to go out of the most direct line through the 40 Mile Bush. The line is up from the west end of Roys Hill where the only sight [site] for a bridge can be got and a good sight. I pointed that out to Weber some years ago. Then up past my place and up Carlyon road to the top of the first range then deverge off on the line. I always said should been boken and come out at Ormond's bush. On that line there is onley one bridge wanted and the timber is allong side of it. Besides it is direct to the plains and shorter a good deal. If that was onley carryed out then a village at [A]orangi close to the accomodation house and a small church would follow. If you cannot see the force and advantage of this to the country it is no use
