good condition. except the roads with

house north, also from Singleton place
otherwise, the roads are in fairly good
condition. Rayburn has done some
good work on Providence road out to
beat line, and on Bush road, west of
town. There are some places which
need raising, especially is this so
around culverts and some bridges. The
contractors pay too little attention to
dead trees standing near the road.
have called their attention to these
matters as part of the contract and
have insisted that the contract be car
ried out in every respect, as nearly as
possible.
Beat 2-The roads in heat 2, worked
by Mr.. Clark. are in very good cOndi-
ton. He has done some good work on
the Providence and Bush roads; has put
in several new culverts; some more are
needed on the Bush road. There are
two fiat bridges OF about 80 #. needed
on this road, but they can wait awhile.
III Mr.. Gilla's roads-Nothing done on
these roads except some repairs in the
way of filling some washouts with slips
! on Middle road, near Lemmon's schoo
4 house, Chamberlain hill and some othel
\ places.

4 work done in this beat this month
Some trees cut and some stumps blown
Iup. There are still some trees to cut
4 and some culverts that need cleaning
4 out and fixing. Some side bitches neec
] more brush. The roads are in yer,
good condition; in some places, owinl
to the heavy hauling of lumber ant
J slaves, the roads are not as good a
they should be.
~ Beat 4-No work has been done b.
J contractor in this beat this month
h Some culvert5 need attention.; som
places need brush to stop caving-e
j pecially is this the case on the oil

Y narrow, with deep gulleys on bot
4 sides. On the hill at the McSwine place
< on the road from dump to fork ther
J are places around culverts and bridge
y that need to be raised. hope all thes
n things will be looked after and put i
good shape at the next working. Ray

y ting down hill and filling in on the ne,
Z road through the McSwine place, is al
SIA job.
II Beat 5-The roads in beat have a
y been worked this month and are i
h good condition. with the exception o
culverts, some of which have been re
D paired. Others need attention, bu
lumber could not be obtained. If tt
y culverts were in good condition, a fe,
places widened and some dead trees Gu
4 down, these roads could be called up /
every way.
