Dear Sir: , .
Enclosed we hand you copy of Indictment #226
case of Comm nwealth of Kentucky against Lexington &
Eastern Railway Company, for obstructing the public
highway. You will note that the indictment charges
the company with injuring and obstructing same by cut—
ting under the road near Viper and Eamden and in differ-
ent places. I think it would be well for the company to
have the road supervisor, or the section foremen to note '
carefully the condition of the road prior to the 15th
day of May, as we are of the Opinion that the County
Attorney will try to push these cases in order to get
fines from the company.
Yours very truly,
