REPORT OF r S STOKLEY
ROAD SUPERVISOR.

To Lhe Mon ,g0WeJ.y Fiscal CoHr1'
hereby hand YOU a complete report OF
nv official actions as Supervisor OF Turn
pixes of Montgomery county, over wAlch
had charge from April, 1904, until April
4, 1905.
This report shows where every dollar Oh
money has been spent by me, by whom
received, and for what purpose. Ihat lhe
pixies have been gradually going down
since about two years before they were
purchased there IS NJ question:, LOT the
increased amount OF travel caused Dy tne
toll gates being taken OH made the wear
and tear greater, and when took charge
IN Anril Ioo4. many of them were i'll a
v-rv mad condition and without SEM
hl.nce Of a ditch on them. If anything,
,e nlaces where the bitches should have
l,een yer. ...- highest therefore 1t cost a
yreat deal > ditcn and grade them, as
had to do the dilching and grading TOR
six (6) or eight (S) years past all III one.
But thought it economy i'll the long run
4, do il ami believe so yet, Tor It IS I'M
possible to hold up the pixies II they are
nor thoroughly drained. In addition TO
this it is necessary to put metal on all OF
them. | tried to do my work In an nom
oct and conscientious manner, believing
il is the cheapest in the long run to do
work we'll and thoroughly Ana while IL
has cost a good deal of money both Ill
1901 and 1905, ! am satisfied the pixies
m r nv c.arge are turned back to the
cou-t IN az least twenty-five (25) per cent
better condition than when l received
them and by reason thereof, on most OF
them it will be necessary TO speuu olily
very little more money to carry them
through the winter.
ION some OF them there is almost enough
Nnsnread metal already broken aid pad
for to carry them through all right.
