Diark Sin,—In # recent number of the Guardian ao item appeared stating “ bat the bridge on the new road between Valleydeld acd Whim Road Cross was badly damaged by the flood of Friday, 16:h ult,” aleo stating toat “adam furiher ; up the :iver was carri:d away,”— thus lead ing the public to believe that an extraordi- nary strain was put upon this grand struc

ture. Through thecolumnos of your valu- able peper [ would like to give a bit of the history of the

new road and bridge. The road wae first located here against the wish ex- preeeed at a public meeting of a large ma- jority of the electors of the adjoining set-

tlements. Supervisor McDonald and a few of his followers alone supporting it.

Half the right of way of ihe Vaileyticld end wae purchased from this officer; half he right of «ay of the Whim Road cross was purchased from his brotner. The} work of opening the road was begun on the day before the last eleciion, and | crowds of electors could be seen marching from this boodle road to the poll on elec tion day, and every man voted Grit, of course.

The main arin of the Montagne river crosses thie ‘new road,” and tenders were called for the construction ofa bridge. The tender of John Lemon was the lowest, | and as he was an honest contrac'or, noted for his good workmanship and his know- | ledge of bride building, his tender would naturally be accepted. But another brother of this notorious supervisor whore land little too far away to give; bim a ehare in the right-of-way stepped in and paid Mr. Lewon a snug sum for the | privilege of becoming the coutractor him- self. Lie at once begin the building of the ige, with bis brother the euper~ ynspector, hired man, etc.
