1t appearing 20 the Board that Pete
Mitchell owning land through which the
proposed new road as petiuOned for by
j. l. Shinault, ct al, beginning at Pat
stephens and inteesecting the new Tip
pan road IT Henry Stephens, claiming
damages, II i ordered by the BJar,i
thar the sheriff will notice on said Pete
Mitchell notifying him that the Board
viii proceed 10 go upon said la Ills On
Friday, Sept LIST, for the purpose of
assessing damages, proposed in the new
road
The petition of j. +. Shinault, a. al,
for the opening of a new road across
the land of Will Robson be and the
same Is hereby rejected.
The clerk of the Board was ordered
u give notice To each contractor anu
MS bondsmen that the roads must be
placed in condition according Ia con-
tract at once The plans and speciiica
tiOds embedded in every contract are
clear and plain and while every part of
the co1tracs must be fnlly complied
with. We urga an immediate comph-
ance with Sections 5, 8, I, 5 ., Ii, 10, 10
Il, 10, 20, n, y, n. y and 20. In tho
event the contracts not complied with
Immediately the Board hereby gives
notice that, under said contracts, r.
pairs viii be made by them and the
same charged up TO the contractors.
Frequent complaints are eomiRgin from
all parts of the county, the mail service
- threatened to be impaired "a well as
general travel Reports come that
MACY contractors are following other
occupations and little atten ion is being
paid to the roads. This cannot and will
not be tolerated longer. The Board
has been lenient, hoping that each con
tractor would appreciate tins ieniency
By doing the best possible work with
out pressure, but since the Board mas
been brought into criticism even TO the
point of being dragged into the courts,
the contractor and their bOndsmen
must make good. ANY failure to do
this will be followed by actions in the
courts upon the bonds of each contrac-
tor. This notice is given in no spirit Of
unfrlendliness, but solely with the view
TO have the law enforced according to
contract. We hope each contractor
and bondsmen will heed this notice and
that the Board will not be forced to
take action in the courts. We suggest
that the usually bad places be carefully
put in order first and the remainder be .
fully worked at once.
