AGREEMENT for the REraIr of a MiLiTARY RoaD. 
(The BapenNocu Roab.) 
Tr1s Iine commences at the south end of the Moy road, and proceeds by Car bridge, 
and through the valley of Strathspey and Badenoch to the boundary of Perthshire, near 
the summit of the hill of Druemochter, and measures in all about fifty-two miles. 
The repairs lately performed on this line have improved it very considerably, and it 
must have since given very general satisfaction ; but, as the traffic is extensive and yearly 
increasing, the surface requires an annual supply of fresh materials to preserve its form, 
and make up such breaches as may happen during winter. 
In order more particularly to point out the repairs required this season, and the manner 
of performing them, the line is divided into sections, as usual. 
Secrion 1. 
From the end of Moy road to Car bridge, being a distance of about ten miles, the road 
was originally made either with soft materials or on a mossy bottom, which is always 
liable to decay. From the commencement to Freeburn Inn the surface is hollow, and 
requires a close covering of gravel all the way, and the breaches in the sides which have 
been made by cattle must be repaired, by laying a turf border of two thicknesses along it, 
with a sufficient quantity of gravel to make up the hollows. From thence to Findhorn
