to Melber, thence back on Clinton

on July 23d>we went out the Pool
road by the union depot TO the May
field gravel road to the Houser road,
thence the Houser road to Florence
Station road, thence on the Mayfield

Bryant road to the Houser road,
thence to the middle Mayield road to

20 Mayfield and Metropolis road to
Blandyille road, thence to the Hines
road, thence to the Lovelace,ille
road to the Bill Smith road to Love-
laceville road to Paducah. Nearly
all the roads we went over this day
were gravel roads.
July 25th we went out the Mayficld
road to the Burger road, thence on
the Lovelaceville road to Lone Oak,
taking the Herndon school house and
Friendship church road. This is a
beautiful scenic road, all graveled,
but one mistake, entirely too narrow,
hardly being wide enough for two
vehicles to pass. From this road we
went on to the Mayheld gravel road
to the Whitlock road to the other
side of the IIouser road; we found
the Whitlock road one that is trav-
.eled very little. Its usefulness is
limited on account of the very steep
hills; we found some of the hills
nearly impossible to go down. To
make this road passable it will be
quite expensive. rs many hills will
have to be cut down. From this road
we went on the HOuser road to
Bonds Station road. then to Mayfield
gravel road to Wadosboro road to
Graves county line. Crossed over to
Oak Station road. thence to Bolin
Ford road to Benton road to Padu-
cab. We found the bridge on Oaks
Station road in very bad condition,
the caps. posts and stills getting rot
ten and ready to fall down.
On July 26th we went out the
Benton road to Clarks Ferry road,
retraced, went out Benton road to
Epperson road, circled to Benton
road, then out Benton road to Cal
vert City road to county line. We
find on the Calvert City road near
the Marshall county line the road
needs about five hundred feet of levy
work We understand that Marshall
county is about to build two miles OF
gravel road to the end of this road
to connect with our road, and this
levy filled out will make this first
class gravel road for travel in that
section TO Paducah. We retraced the
Calvert City road one mile to the
Bryant road. We went on the same
to the corner OF the three counties
McCracken, Marshall and Graves.
We retraced back again TO Roper
Mills road, thence to said road to
Graves county line, thence back to
Benton county line. thence back TO
Benton gravel road home. The said
roads needs about three hundred
feet of levy work near Graves county
line.
On July 3Oth we went out Benton
road to Oaks station road, thence to
the Lydon road. This is a new road
and is travelled very little, but a road
in good condition. being new. From
the Lydon road we went to the Hus
bands road to within one mile \oi
Wadesboro road. The Husbands road
Is one that Is not completed. IL still
needs about one mile of levy started
but not finished. The bridges ar,
built but leyies unfinished. We be
lieve that when this road is com
pleted 1t will be one of the most trav
eled roads in McCracken county. 1
