In regard to the roads prevailing on
the five routes emanating from your
office, the inspector states that they
are badly neglected and for the most
part appear to have received but very
little attention as to drainage and
grading since the country was first
settled, many years ago. The soil is a
heavy clay, and, on account Of which
all these roads remain In very muddy
condition long after heavy rains, and
unreasonably long during the spring
and fall seasons, which makes travel
difficult for carriers for great por-
ton of the time
You are directed to notify the pat
ronss interested and proper road autho-
rites that unless steps are taken by
them within thirty days from date, or
as t6on as conditions will permit, to
repair the badly neglected roads, cows
cred by rural delivery routes from
your office. by properly grading anu
draining them, in order that they may
be travelled by carriers with facility
and safety at all seasons of the year,
the withdrawal Of service therefrom
will be seriously considered by the de-
partment. Advise this office of re-
suits.
In this connection you are informed
that this department has been advised
by the department of agriculture, Of
flee Of public roads, Washington, DIG,
that it will gladly cooperate with Off
Gals and others in the Improvement Of
roads thruout the country, by furnish.

1t is requested that you give the offer
