sanitary conditions, particularly in towns. May our future roads be in 
true contrast in efficiency, in durability, and in cleanliness to the roads 
of the past. Give your hearty encouragement to all who are endeavour- 
ing to make the road more smooth, more convenient, and more cleanly, 
and so more healthy. The raising of the quality of the road is a work 
which can do harm to no one, and must do good to all. I hope you 
will all in your respective circles do what you can to promote road 
improvement. By doing so you will add to the conveniences of life, 
and to your own comfort, and we of the Road Board will be grateful 
for your help.
