mitted report Of the condition Of the
work placed in his charge, substantially

Gregvsyille II Clinton road, east Of CIin'

cuttings are too steep. the road bed not
properly rounded, and the masonry com.
posed Of inferior stone, badly laid. Upon
the next section, | miles In length, the
same defects we're found, except that the
masonry was Of better class, n some
cases the road bed in that section had not
been brought to it. proper grade by sew

bridge over the Short creek, had not
been touched. The mile undertaken
