Mr.. c. Carmichael Chairman Board of
County Commissioners, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir-I recently had a CONVEX
sation with man who keeps up p
miles of rock road in Palm Beach
county, and learned from him that the
county authorities distribute carloads
of lime at the nearest points to his
rock road, and that he with one horse,
which he furnishes, with himself, at
1 SO per day. takes this lime and dis
4 tributes it, a shovelfuIl at a time, in
1 places where it is needed, carrying
along a barrel of water. to be used in
packing in the repairs, and that he
keeps % miles of road, including sew
enteen bridges, n good condition, and
/ does it easily.
! He gives his whole time to it, and
+ keeps the bushes cut back and the
roadway clean. The roadway is Is to
20 feet wide
! / am giving you this little informa-
ton just for whatever it is worth,
and think it would be a good idea at
least to put on one team of this sort
with a long strip of rock road, and
see what the results would be.
Yours truly,
u. G. CHAMBLISS.
