and bitches need opening. That
part of the road from the Rose b
Hill fork to the bridge needs chang
ing, as it is impossible to make a
good road out of it. Most of the
bridges on this road have been fixed.
Percy's creek road, up the creek
from the bridge to the Dist. line,
the part OF the road from the bridge
to the Ned Hill is full of sand holes
and there is very narrow place at
Capt. Cages gin. The road from
Ned Hill to the District line is bet
ter than 1 ever saw it, and all the
bridges have been fixed but three.
The road from the Brick church
to Smithland, by Ed Wards, is in
good condition now, but if we have
much rain the leaves that have fall
len in the bitches twill stop the wa
ter and make it cut into the road
bed. The mile of road that goes to
the Collier fork from sthe Ed Ward |
road is good.
The road from the Buffalo bridge I
at Smithland to the Percy's creek
bridge is in very fair condition, but
the bridges are SO very bad that
roads have been made around some
Of them in the field. The lumber
for fixing some of them is on the
ground, and Mr., Leak says he will
fix them as soon as possible.
The road from DR.. Lessley's to
DIR. Poets is in good condition.
There is cave coming up,into the
road near DR.. Lessley's, that will
take the road if we have much rain.
The two bridges on this road are
both in very bad condition. The
road from Morning Glory to Lake
Mary has not been worked at all
as yet.
The MilIbrook road has been
worked, but the rain we had some
time ago washed some very bad
places in the road. The lumber
for fixing the bridges through the
field is OH the ground.
The road from Ventress' to the
Brick Church is good except in
Capt. Rows field, where a creek
runs down the road, which is wash
) ed out. There are several caves
making up into the road, which
! told Mr.. Leak about. The bridge
f ON the road at Ventress' quarter, is
e so bad that they have made road
around it.
The road from Fort Adams to
2 Wallis fork is in very good condi-
: ton except several pipe-clay places
: in the mile hill that are Doggy
: The road from Wallis fork to the
District line at Ventress' is very
! good, having been recently run over
e with the machine. Most of the
culverts are put in on the road.
/ The road from Wallis fork tc
j Dunbar creek is getting bad, but
e Mr.. Leak is on it with the machine.
e The road from Fergusons to Hooks
creek needs widening very badly.
The road from Dunbar's creek to
e Pinckneyville is very good; it just
J, needs the bitches cleaned out. The
: road from Pinkneyville to the line
:, is bad and entirely too narrow
0 through Mr.. A. M. McGehees field.
: The Ashley road has been worked
= J but is not good, and it is a terrible
e road at best. The road from Pink
= NEVILLE to the Pond needs work
? badly i'll some places, and bitches
. . cleaned out. The bridges at Pink.
NEVILLE are still dangerous. The
d upper Red River road, by Mess
e Ridge, is in good condition except
I in one or two places where caves
: have stopped up the bitches anc
e the water has cut into the road bed
/ and in one place at Columbia Sp' G,
- where the road is partly caved of
d in a bluff.
IS The Columbia Springs road il
! bad and where the road runs dow
q q Clark's creek is worse than bad, i
@ is dangerous. The road from Mon
sr terico old gin to Fort Adams Glow
W err Red River road, } is good excep
70 i'll some places where caves hav,
j. stopped up the bitches and the wa
,e ter has cut into the road-bed. Mos
1t of the small bridges on this roat
= :; have been fixed and are good.
re Ike road from Fort Adams t,
e, Deer Park is better than ever say
I'd it except on Mrs. Murry's front
X which is very muddy. Part o
,e the public road at the upper end o.
10 Artonish has caved in the river.
to REMARKS. of the roads ar
81 in better condition than l have eve
m seen them at this time of the yeal
a. They all need widening and grat
ne ing to get them up to specification
u There is considerable improvement
ne so far as small bridges and culverti
