hardly expect any macadamizing to be
done soon even if the County Engineer
should favor taking over the streets.
| Under the circumstances, and with a
desire to expedite this work before the
rains set in, I beg to say that the par

hundred and fifty dollars ($25o) to in
stall a stone crusher, and furnish four
laborers to keep up a constant supply
of stone which is to be had on the
premises, if the constructive work can
