 County Engineer J. TA Bullen was advertise for bids for building a part of the road asked for by the Alabama Agricultural Association leading to Vandiver Park. The road authorized by the Board will run from the Lower Wetumpka Road to the Southeast cor ner of the Fair grounds and will be graded to a width of sixty feet and eravelled for thirty feet. The Asso- ciation also asked for thirty foot road from the southeast corner of the Fair grounds tn the Upper Wetump- ka Road, but that part of the propos- ed work has been held up for while. The Association asked for road one hundred feet wide from the Lower Wetumpka. Road to the entrance to complications in the right of way only sixty feet has been authorized.
 David Phenix and S. F. chancey were before the Board to ask for a change in the road from Pine Level to Orion. It is considered very i'm portant to have a first class highway in this part of the county and it Is ltldb thO PA @SN~~ ~ ~"-~hf~~ sible
 On motion of Mir. Barnes a new route proposed by the petitioners will be investigated and If found practicable work will begin thereon as soon as improvements now under way on the Carter Hill Road have been complet- ed The new route follows hereto fore private road passing the prop erty of MT. Zimmerman and MT. Mo- Cullough.
 When the $5,0O0 bond of Jesse Wads- worth for the carrying out of con- tract for improvements on the Pike Road from Pike Road Station to Ma mic was presented for approval MT. Wadsworth informed the@ Board that he could not accept the contract un- less he was allowed to use gravel which would not have to be shipped over the Central of Georgia Railroad. The county had contracted for the use of gravel from the Roquemore pits, but Mir Wadsworth said that the rail- road charged such high rate that his profits would be eaten up. MT. Roque- more with whom the county has con- tracted for gravel agreed to waive his right on the assurance of the coun- ty engineer that all of his gravel would be used.
 The difhculty in getting gravel is the only thing which Is keeping the
  improvements than it is already
 The Board authorized the appoint ment by the County Engineer of two inspectors for the work to be done by MT Wadsworth and for that which Mitchell Brothers are doing in the southern part of the county.
