Supervisor L. L. Jones reported as
follows: I make this my second re-
port for 1907. My roads are all but
one in good fix, and the bridges are
in good shape but two. closely in
spected every foot of the roads in my
district.
Supervisor Barbee reported as fol-
lows: In making this, my second
quarterly report, would state that /
have inspected all the roads in the
second district, and find only part
of them properly worked up to the
contract. Some find have been run
over by the contractor, but are now
in as bad condition as they were the
first of April. Also some that have
not been worked at all, which, of
course, are in bad condition. The
bridges, as far as I could tell, are in
tolerably good condition.
Supervisor Long reported as fol
lows: In making this, my second re-
port, will say that I have been over
all the roads in the first district, and
I find nearly all the first-class roads
to be in very good condition, accord
ing to my Judgment, and, some Of the
second-class roads are in good condi-
tion, but the second-class are not
what they should be. The roads in
Coldwater, Pigeon Roost, and By
halia bottoms are not in good condi-
ton. They are badly in need Of
widening out. 1t would be great
help to cut out some Of the trees and
| fill in the holes in the bottoms.
Supervisor Thomas: I make this
my second quarterly report as to the
condition Of the roads and bridges in
the third district. / have carefully
inspected my roads,, and find them all
worked some. Some Of them are in
fine shape and some of them will have
to have considerable hand work to
bring 4hem up to the right shape, and
some culverts will have to be put in.
Supervisor Lauderdale: In making
my second quarterly report, would res
pectfully report that ! havehbeen over
all the roads in the fifth district ex-
cept few miles, and find the roads
in passable condition But the ex-
cessive rains have washed them pretty
badly in some places, and retarded
the working Of some by the contrac-
tor, and would recommend that the
contractor be given until the first Of
August to work their roads up to the
