Supervisor J. 9. Long reported on
roads as follows: IT have examined
the roads in the first district and find
those that the contractor selected to
be worked up to plans and specifica-
tions are, in my judgment, substanti-
ally up to requireA ents. The roads
worked up to plans and specifications
in the past two quarters have been
very well maintained, with few ex-
ceptions, and | recommend disallow-
ance on miles out OF repair. The other
roads that are to be kept in good re-
pair have been outof repair in a good
many places =
Report of Supervisor L. L. Jones: II
have Inspected all my roads closely.
My contractor is a good, honest, poor
man and my friend and hate to have
to cut him, but there is not single
road in my district entirely up to plans
and specifications from end to end,
and I have never been able to con-
vince my contractor that when he
cuts inside the ditch he violates his
contract. We pay our contractors
enough for them to put all our roads
up to specifications, and we will have
to get them to work six days in the
week and they will be proud of their
roads and we will be proud of our
contractors and the citizens of the
county will give us the praise. There
is no use to issue bonds to work roads.
when they are up to plans and speci-
fications they are good enough for
anybody to travel"
Supervisor Dickson reported as fol-
lows: IT have carefully inspected
all the roads in the, second district.

year. Mr.. Campbells required roads
are up, except one mile. Mr.. Owens
has no required roads up"
Report Of Supervisor Thomas: II
have inspected my roads and find
them in fine shape in the south part
of the district, but the north part of

places. The standard roads for this
time are up to standard, except in
three places that are too narrow
