u E. B. Lauderdale reported as fol
lows: "In making this my 4th quar-
| terly report would respectfully state
that / have inspected the most of the
roads in the 9Th district and find the
same in passable condition and think
there is considerable improvement in
the last twelve months. The con-
tractor is doing all he can to give us
better roads, widening them and
grading down hills as much as he can.
The report of J. w. Barbee was as
follows: I'm this my 4th quarterly
report in reference to condition of
roads and bridges in the End district
will say that have been over all the
road, and with some few exceptions,
find them in good condition. Some
Of the creek bottoms have not been
put in as good condition as might
have been. find some bridges need
ing repairs. The bridge over Horn
Lake creek on the Perkin road should
be moved and the bridge over slough
on the College road should be re-
paired or built anew, Also new
bridge on the Dunn road.
g. T. Thomas report: IT have
carefully inspected nearly all Of my
roads and bridges and find them all
to be well worked up and in fine con-
dition, except some mud holes in the
delta part of the district. The bridges
and culyerts are all in fairly good
condition.
