There was a marked change in the buildings, more comfortable residences and more com- modious business houses, and more of them. Salisbury has quite a citified | look, compared with a decade or more | ago. Somerset and Berlin while in Somerset Sal- other towns since I had last seen So much for “ye Another thing that impressed me was { the change in public road grades, as for example at the Abe Thomas hill, the Jeachy hill and the hill on the Krank Livengood farm. I was gratified to'see that the roads now run around these hills or mount them gradually instead of going up their steepest sides as of { yore. As for the Beachy hill, I had the | honor, in company with Howard H. Keim, to establish the grade for the new road there, in the fall of 1884, so much for the skill of the engineering [ firm of Keim & Livengood. That wasa | piece of work of which I shall always feel proud. Elk Lick township got its money’s worth when it hired Kiem & Livengood to dothat job. Henry Roda- mer, if I remember rightly, was the supervisor who engaged us to do the work. But speaking of road improve- ments, let me remark that I was pain- ed to see that the Hurtzrick abomina- tion of. a public road still remained. What folly that the people of Elk Lick | and Summit have for a century worn out their horses and wagons in freight- ing over that bill, when they could without increasing the distance and at i comparatively small expense (2; mn : - hill. There is the old Keystone narrow | gauge roadbed already graded, aband- oned and only in need of a little widen- | ing to make a rplendid wagon road. | The people of Salisbury, Meyersdale, | Elk Lick and Summit ought to see that { this improvement is made. | Your weather impressed me, also. 1 found the heat much more oppressive at | the top of the Alleghenies than here on | the coast of Southern California. While ! the mercury occasionally bumps against the roof of the thermometer here, there lis little humidity, hence the heat is not felt so much. We do not consider any- thing under 90 degrees very warm. The i sea breeze tempers the atmosohere on our warm days. Our nights are al- ways cool.
