The bad places between here and Wolcott have been filled in With rock and now a top dressing of three or four inches of stone is to be put on. Stone is also being put on the Jackson highway north towards Rensselaer in places, and on the I'oute between Wolcott and Monticello, we are told, that a very heavy coating of rock is being put on.
