While we welcome the tourists we understand there is not as much as a gas tank on proposed routes. Do the members of theso delegations not consider the people of Egremont capable of manâ€" aging cur own affairs. Why not tranâ€" sfer their valuable knowledge to the Township west of us whose county read goes zig zag across it, for the acommodation and benefit of the majority of the township?
