To the Honorable Board of Supervis.
ors;-I have inspected bridges that have
beer completed this month, and reports
of same are on file. Many overseers of
public roads have worked their roads
creditably, while others seem to think
that the law as it relates to roads is a
dead letter and will not be enforced. |
hope that all of them will comply with
the law, and save me the unpleasant
task of reporting them to the grand jury
for dereliction eff duty. have received
81 communication fee which has been
paid over as the law directs. l respect.
fully call your attention to a petition
presented by F. w. Golf, where he was
granted privilege to change public road
across his land, which has not been
done. | request that you take such
steps as may be necessary to perfect

be pile-driven.
