ith regard to the private acter of the roads the Com-ruttee has repeatedly stated that they were in many cases opened by private persons or by the sociation with the consent of pri-vote owners and that they have never become public roads. In reply to a communication of the Board asking that the Association might care for its own-roads (that is those within the Association Park) the Director replied giving: his consent and saying that he has. in his possession a statement from the Police Office assuring him that these are public roads. The secretary at once wrote, July 25, asking for. a copy of the list of public roads "for information and verte fication" but to date no reply has been received. It is the expectation of the Board that when this formation is received the work of verification will be attempted. (A. map has now been received).
