The claim of Mr.. Westacott for road
work was again considered The re-
ports on this work made by commits
sioner Knoke and county surveyor
Wells were heard and considered.
The report of L. A. Knoke on the
south Omemee road reads as follows:
I was unable to meet with MI.
Wells but viewed the road alone and
found that seven stations en- the south
end of the road we're completed and
that four or FIVE more stations were
about up to grade but not finished.
There has been considerable dirt
thrown into the road throughout the
entire distance for which money was
appropriated. I also found that Mr.
Westacott and, Mr.. Robertson had
built grade for distance of nearly
one half mile for which no money
was appropriated.
Surveyor Wells submitted the fol-
lowing report:
l respectfully submit to the honor
| able board of county commissioners
for Bottineau county the following
statement:
That on the Omemee road south the
contractors have placed the following
amounts of cubic yards Of dirt:

From station number 14O to station
number 134-a distance of six stations
on the south end of said contract-if
the balance of the contract was in con-
dion to be received-would be accept
ed as finished.
The balance of the work is in such
condition that do not feel person
ally justified in accepting any of it at

such case
Yours truly,
