To the Honorable Board OF County
Commissioners for Marion County:
Gentlemen-I have examined the
public road from Belleview to North
Lake Weir, and find it in bad condi-
ton. The ruts are cut deep into the
sand, and there is one long, high hill
in section 2, township II. range %,
which the road crosses. While the
down the grade on both sides can be
improved by cutting down the high
places and using the dirt cut from
the high places to fill in the low plac.
es. BY changing the posi-
tion of 1000 or 5000 yards of dirt the
grades on both sides of this hill will
be made fairly good. This dirt can
be moved at from 10 to IL cents per
yard if managed economically.
| also understand that a petition
will be presented to your honorable
board to change a part of the line of
this road as follows: Beginning at a
point 20 feet north 2S degrees west
from northwest corner of lot 2, Ayers
subdivision of part of lot 5, section g.
