I-t originally was a track which had been widened to road width and now scttblers desired the cdme-Ts to- be taken off, a work which in his opinion- should be done. Thera was a large amount of traffic on the road and seme figures were 1-1,500 lambs carted annually and- 1000 cows milked. Manure carted totalled 862 tons, and also 335 bales of wool.
