To the Honourable Court of Commissioners for Dukes County We your petitioners humbly represent that an open County road is very much needed in the Western part of said County to facilitate intercourse between the said Western part of said County, Holmeshole, and Edgar- town, We further beg leave to represent that the Inhabitants on the, North West part of Chilmark and West part of Tisbury are suffering very great inconveniencies for want of said road and if a road should be opened through that part of the County it would increase the value of the County much more than the cost of sd road.
Your petitioners not thinking to guide your Hon. body would merely suggest to your wisdom the general direction we think said road. ought to take. Viz. Beginning at the Holmes hole road Eastward of Mr Hovey Luce's or Dea. John Davises and running in a South Westerly course in the most convenient way through the Neighborhood of Cappiggin and terminating at the road Called or known to be the middle line near Mr Vincent Tabers, and if the Hon. Court on a view of the route should think it for the Publick good of sd County to extend the road farther westward we Pray that it may be extended in a direction towards, Nas- saquitsey and. Gayhead as far as the Hon. Court shall think for the Pub- lick good. We pray the Hon. Court to adopt such measures at the next sitting of sd Court in May next as is necessary for the speedy opening of sd road, as in duty bound
