The more the sale of the state road is discussed the more appar ent it becomes that the people have been kept in ignorance of the real status of the matter. Instead of a huge gwse that con tinually dropped golden eggs it is about to be shown that it tins s inply been furnishing a hobby for politicians to rule on.
