And now they will probably ^ . retain them happily ever after. But all this was not done without p' proceeding slowly, carefully and j gR surely. On Jfne 5th the Board re- j gt quested county counsel to furnish them with on opinion as to the legal- 1 ity of turning the bothersome roads back. Some time later a meeting cv was held at which there was passed a resolution setting aside July 18th |u] the day when the opinions of the municipalities would be heard. When the time came all the resorts, townships, boroughs, -etc., hied wJ to Court House where Board sat to receive them. Everybody was unanimous in assuring the county offieials that they had done lovely with the roads, and that it was much that they retain them. And the county, of course follovt- Mi ed the desire of their constituents, ^ and the roads will remain county n" roads. thl Miss Grace Pearce, of Larchwood avenue.
