A poll will ,bo taken on vSaturday next upon a pro^ posal to borrow £500 for tho pju>' jjOSG pf forming, grading-, culvei-tiiig and motalling with broken ,stone about three-quarters of a uiile \of the Klliot Road, from >he ' Cowling , Rob'd, to, the junction with the Fra-nkley' Rood., This will complete the metalling of the Elliot Road, and will be of <great sei'vice" to the residents upon it, as well as to (others iipon .ad Ijbinrng roads. It l will also coinr pleto the circuit from town along tie Frankley Road, returning through Westown, or vice versa, making a most attractive hour's chdve or bicycle rule, only requiring the cutting down 1 of Stanciish'B Hill to make.it every,- 1 tihi»g that can be desired. In estimating the advantages they are likoly"to derive from the expenclit\ire for which jthqy prppo/ji^^a^ij^maebes the - ratepayers \ftvp&m: that in addition to having a good rond along, which thoy can ride and drive in Pafoty they will make their prop- ! erties much more accessible and attractive. -Townspeople who desire to -
