lacevllle and Metropolis road to Cairo
road. back on this road to Ogden
Landing road, thence on Ogden Land
Ing road to Cunningham road, thence
Iop Cunningham road to Lovelace-
VILE and Metropolis road to Metropo-
lis lake. We then crossed over TO
Metropolis and Mayneld road, went
over same to river, retraced back to
the Noble road, went over same to
the Broadfoot road to the Cairo
gravel road, then to town. The
Noble road is new road and one
that has been quiet expensive to the
county at the present time, not trav-
.eled great deal, but promises to be
a very important road, as II cuts the
distance of travellers between Padu-
cab and Metropolis four miles shorter
and at the same time goes through
Ia rich section of land in McCracken
county. on this, the Noble road, We
found very long wooden bridge in
good shape. also much levy work to
make this road so that IL can be trav-
|eled all the year through; will still
take considerable more expense. To
bring it above high water will take a
great deal more expense and levy
work, which will cost the county
about 100000 more. On the Gun
road we found the wooden
bridge in bad shape, but same has
since been repaired on this road. A
lot of levy work is needed, and to put
this above high water so that 1t can
be travelled all the year will take
about 100000. The two roads, the
Cunningham and Noble road, are
good travelling and in good shape at
this time of the year.
On July 10th we started out Love
hccyllle gravel road to Alton Heights
road ont same to Pine road and
Alton Heights roads to Buckner lane
school house road. thence Buckner
lane and Lang 10 Hanson and VIII
liams road to ollvet church road,
from O.iyot church road TO Hinkle-
willie road to Cairo road. thence on
Cairo road to Lovelaceville and Me
tropolis road, thence on Lovelaceville
to Florence Station road, thence to
Clinton road to Paducah. We find
the levy near Molber on Clinton road
low and below high water aud should
be levelcd One OF the bridges should
be replaced with a new iron bridge.
Il would be economy to put this kind
OF bridge there.
On July 18th we went out the
Lovclaceville road to Blanchyllle
gravel road. on same to Friendship
church and Potter road, thence Buck
ncr Lane road TO Ollvet church road,
thence Olivet church road to Blame
vale road. thence Blandyille road to
Mayfeld and Metropolis road 10 the
Lightfoot road, thence over Lightfoot
road To Fisher school house aud
Mount Ollyct road, over that road to
the cairo road, retracing this road TO
the Blandyille road. Next on the
Farmers road. thence on the Harris
road TO Lovelaceville and Metropolis
road. thence to Blandville road On
the Blandylle road we found one bad
bridge and the creek cutting away
the end OF the levy. This is the Rob
erison bridge the one that Esquire
Gholson mentioned in our last meet
Ing. This bridge will have to be re-
placed By new one at an early date.
We also ind the road will have to be
out and a small right-of-
way purchased across the corner of a
Geld and small amount of levy work
will have to be done.
July 18th we went out the Bland
willie road from Lovelaceville and Me
tropolis road to Ballard county line,
rctracod back to Lovelaceville and
Metropolis road to the Childers road.
The Chlldcrs road Is a new road and
"a very rough one and is travelled very
little. From the Childers road we
went out the Blandville road TO the
Gholson road over the same to the
Loyolaceyille road to the Maytield
and Metropolis road We found the
crossing very bad. Oye~ Massac creek
at this point a new right-of-way will
have to be purchased and considers
able levy work will have to be done
On July 22d We won't ont the Love
laceyille road b. the Maviield and Me
tronpiis rogd thence out the Love.
