The miserable condition of the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike

Call the attention of the County Commissioners to the miserable condition of the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike

Democratic Advocate, December 3, 1898

Haight Items—By request of persons who travel the road leading from Oakland Mills to the Liberty pike, we call the attention of the County Commissioners to the miserable condition of said road, especially through the property of Mr. B. F. Bennett, and near the residence of Mr. T. S. Clark.

Those two places are well-nigh impassible, and not only a disgrace to the community but also to the county.

It is rather late to mend roads we admit, at least with dirt, but surely stones enough can be gotten nearby to fill these monster mud holes, and at very little cost now, but if it is not done, and accidents occur at those places, which will be unavoidable, this county will have to pay damages.

We doubt if there has been for years a place on any road in the county in such a miserable condition. We hope the attention of the Commissioners will be called to this matter and the road mended at once.

Democratic Advocate, December 3, 1898.
