Where did the term Dead End come from?
Only the roads leading from one town to the next were well traveled or maintained. So passing through a town a stranger could simply stay on the best road and know he was headed for the next town. The exceptions were at crossroad towns or the well maintained road to the church ending in the burial yard. A nice road that went nowhere ended at the DEAD, end of the road.
Who would a citizen contact about a problem with the city roads?
Generally speaking a citizen who sees a road problem in their town or city should contact the mayor's office and have the complaint or suggestion passed on to the proper place in city government that handles road problems. In some instances a problem road belongs to a county in which the town is located. The complaint or suggestion should go the county's road department. If the road is a state highway, then the state's highway commission or other state office can be contacted.
What is the difference between national government and local government?
