June 2, 1908.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Board.
I visited the hard road that is now
| in construction at Dunnellon yester-
day. I measured up 1850 feet or pa
miles of said hard road that is near
ling completion. l measured the width
of the road in several places AMI
found the hard surface to be ten feet
and six inches wide. With a pick and
shovel l dug through the hard surface
at what I considered an average thick
ness of the road in the center and
found it to be nine inches thick. The
stumps and rees are not all removed
from the out edges of the road yet. bu.
this is being rapidly done. The ma
material used in the hardening of this
road is a poor grade Of clay, which
very much regret, but the contractors
tell me that after a thorough search
nothing better is obtainable
Respectfully,
]. NJ. MATHEWS, Com.
