The Hon. the Board of Supervisors.
Gentlemen. AS required by the
road law of 1900, under which the
public roads of this county are be-
ing worked,6I submit the following
quarterly report of the roads in the
FIRST supervisors district, viz:
Upper Natcbez road to 5th dis
trict line, not worked, entirely too
low, and very poorly drained. By
no means DIP to specifications. From
Woods gin to Buffalo i'll very good
condition for a second class road
but getting too fiat i'll places. From
Woodville to Woods gin (Ford' S
Creek road not good, too fiat gene
orally, very bad pipe-clay hill near
Mr.. Woods house, dangerous
bridge and culvert near Woodville,
both of which require immediate at
tention. Lower Natchez road, from
Woodville to Iron bridge, entirely
too fat, several very bad mud holes,
rendering travel slow, and attended
with danger. Road from Laneharts
to Percy's Creek fairly good for
that road.
Percy's Creek to Woodville poor
lv drained too fiat and narrow gen.
orally. The Morris hill is entirely
too steep, and the Land hill, being
piye-clay, was in very Doggy con-
dition.
The Woodville and Fort Adams
road is generally good. 1t has moi
been worked recently, only the bad
places patched. One culvert and
one small bridge is needed on this
road.
The Donegal roads are generally
III fair condition, though bad places
were met with. The Sligo road,
recently worked, is too flat and fails
to come up to the requirements OF
law, only in short stretches here
and there. The road by Mr.. Per-
kins residence has also been recenta
ly worked. 1t is entirely too mar
row, and owing to the deep cuts
most of the distance, / do not be-
lieve this road can be widened suf-
ficiently to meet the specifications.
In other respects this road was very
we'll worked.
The Jackson road has run down
considerably since my last report.
1t is too fiat, and in the low places
poorly drained. One cuIvert is bad
~ needed near Capt. Geo. T. Nc
Gehee's place. Ashwood road is
in good travelling condition. Some
new flooring is needed on the East
bridge. l called the attention of
the Board to this fact in my last
report. The road to Turnbull sta

the Rel River Road, at the Clarks
creek crossing is bad, and it is al
most impossible to make it good
road as one half Of the road is in
the middle of the creek and the
other part is all pipe-clay.
Road from Fort Adams to the
Deer Park store is very rough, es-
pecially along Mrs. Murrys front,
and from the Kansas Store to the
Deer Park store. All of this needs
work very badly. / inspected the
bridge built across the break in the
levee, where the road was changed
on Artonish, and find the bridge a
good one, and built out of good
lumber. There is some lumber
needed OH this road for the cross
bitches.
The road from Fort Adams to the
Percy's Greek bridge is bad, being
cut up considerably, and some bad
mud holes in it, This road ought
to have tile drains and lots of them,
as the plank culverts that was put
in on this road last summer are all
broken up now, and plank will not
stand as culverts on this road. -
There are several very bad small
bridges that ought to be fixed i'm
mediately, especially the bridge at
the Rock Hill House, which is dan
gerous. There is no road from the
Rose Hill fork to the Percy's creek
bridge.
The road from the Percy's creek
bridge to the Buffalo bridge at
Smithland, is very good. with the
exception of about two mud holes
which need culverts to drain them.
The plank OIL some of the small
bridges on this road have worn out
and ought to be replaced as soon as
possible. The Bear creek bridge
on this road is in very bad shape,
and so are the two bridges Just this
side of the Buffalo bridge.
The road from DIR. Poets to DIR.
, Leslie's is very good except one
pipe-clay hill, and the bridge just
in front of DR.. Poets house is very
bad, and there is a bad cave coming
up to the road IN DR.. Lessley's lane,
The road from Smithland across
by Mr.. Wards to the Percy's creek
road is in good condition, but has
a bad bridge at Mr.. Wards gate.
: The Collier mile of road is good
) The Percys creek road up the
creek to the Ned hill has few sand
; holes in it, but otherwise is. good.
) Down near the bridge Capt. Cage
has taken in field of land through
which the road passed and put the
road out on the creek bank. Where
, he has put the road is really bet.
. ter place than where the road was
: before he moved his fence, Gin my
| opinion). The other part of the
road from the Ned hill to the Isl
District line, is very good indeed
has two small bridges that needs
fixing.
The road from the Brick church
to Ventress church is good. but il
needs work. Mr.. G. B. Row has
changed the public road in his field
on this road. The place where the
road used to go in his field was
. nothing but a creek bed, and it was
impossible to work it along there.
, Where he has put the road now, is
. fine place for a road, and it can
be worked all right.
The road from Fountain Blue to
the Rose Hill fork (Mill Brook
road) is good but needs work, and
needs some plank, and the road
needs widening in Mr.. Tilton' S
field.

count of the water, but the road
