The foregoing report on each town shows the
condition as to available material.

suitable material in the towns where most needed.
In some towns there is an abundant supply of
stone suitable for road purposes but in its natural
state cannot be used to advantage and unless
some means be found to reduce 1t to proper form
it will be necessary to haul material from con-
siderable distance at a great expense.

county board and especially the chairmen of the
various towns where work has been done.
Respectfully Submitted.
