            A large number of the voters of Harrison converged at the Cummings School House and the offices of the meeting being in their places, preceded to the consideration of the question.  Squire Hunter briefly stated the proposed plan and was followed by various others in explanation of it.  On motion the question was called:  “Are you in favor of the County’s being in any way concerned in the building of said Plank Road from Coudersport to Wellsville?” which was answered unanimously in the negative.  After some further remarks against the plan proposed by the Committee at Coudersport, it was, on motion, resolved, that we sincerely regret that there is not at this meeting some gentlemen from Coudersport in favor of road to urge the utility of the plan.     Resolved, that we also sincerely regret that any person has had the presumption to concoct such a plan and present it to us with so much sanguineness of deception and success.  On motion, resolved that these proceedings be signed by the officers and forwarded to the committee at Coudersport, with the request that they be printed in the County papers.  Adjourned.
