Owing to the continued rain and
bad weather, / have been unable
to make a thorough inspection of
the roads and bridges, but can say
that up to the Ist of December the
roads and bridges in Dist. No. 4
were in good condition. The con-
tractactor has all the roads thor
oughly worked, except few miles,
and in excellent condition. The
excessive rains have damaged some
of the small bridges, making it
necessary to have immediate re
pairs done. The roads at this
time are in fair condition, consid-
ering the long continued bad wealth
er, except some few places. where
the road bed is naturally spongy
and takes in water. The coatract-
or has been continually doing re-
pairs when the weather would
permit.
