Where The Fault Lies. bues

We publish elsewhere a com muni- custh

cation from a Raccland citizen signed atid
Pro Bono Publico on the subject of Etca
the bad roads, and blaming the road mini
inspectors for the bad condition of TI
things, and finding fault with the an malt
thorities to whou the inspectors are I an
amenable for not calling the latter to the
book.
Our correspondent is too sweeping Clot
in his condemnatton, albeit there is not
some cause of complaint. desi
It is popular to abuse the ro±d in wll
spectors, and while they sometime Ptt
deserve hlatne, whlich they should ad
bear, yet there are others who are a
equally blameworthy and cnanu t es- thin
cape by raising an outcry against the at
road inspectors.
These are the riparian owners whose at
Sduty it is under the law to keep and
maintain their roads in good repair. 1i
Their duties are well delled by law,
sad the duty of the road iaspector is
to make them disch:irge Utheir legl yo
oblligation to the publie. Of course
if rod inspectors fail to discharge
this dulty, tieiy art blam:worthy; Iutt
not less blain, worthy is the ripariin Not
n owner who wi.ful'y neglets his tluty, a
nay, sometimes defies the law, and
treaits the ro:lad tinspectl) with Ill dii
guised cone mpt.
Owing to 'he long conlinued spell
of hlavy rains, through which we
have passed, b:ul r, 'ds :re inevitable;

S It is the proper working and c:atre
of the roads in good weather, anuI
at their maintenuuance in bad weather
I which will give us good roads.
,- Now, that the dry season will soon
set in, let the road inspectors enforce
1- the law strictly by making every ri
-

district make, keep and maintant his
ed road in strict conformity with law.
