Road Commissioner Vance reported a
follows:
The roads turnout the county hav'
all been worked, some two and tire
times. They are in good condition ex
cept a few bad culverts -nOtwithstand
ing the fact that more than 30, 600 fee
of lumber has been used this quartz
for c~ulverts aud bridges, yet some nee
repairing and some new ones are neee
ed. There is a little more work tia
can be done with the graders, which
think should be done at once, and the
that the grader work should be discor
tinued and drags and slip used thru tn
winter.
This being my final report, ! wish t
thank the board. hope have bee
of some service to them and some hel
: to the contractors.
Report for District No. THAT pa
of the roads in this district covered
contract have beer worked this qua
ter, some two and three times, and a.
\ up with the exception of a few GU
verts that are needed. The roads n
under contract have been worked e
cept the road from Dubard's to Lam
kin's road and Bew Springs road.
Beat 2. (Mr. Clark's part.)- =
roads in this beat have all been work,
and put up, but owing to the rain al
heavy hauling some are in bad conc
ton, which has caused a second wor
ing. This has been done. There h
been a lot of culvert and bridge wo.
done in this beat this quarter and M
Clark has his road well drained.
Beat 2, (Mr. Gillon's part. IN
Gillon's roads have all been worked
with grader and most all have be,
dragged and are in good conditio
They have done a good deal of culve
work, but more should be done. The
is some more filling needed on the w
lis road, which the contractor says W
be done
Beat 3-The roads have all be
worked up in this beat. Some plac
have been widened, but there are ST
a few narrow places. Some culve
work done, but a little more neede
A few dead trees and stumps should
removed. Except on account of raj
and travel, which made them rou
since worked, the roads are in GO
condition. The road east of bridge
Jim Provinces was not worked.
Beat 4-The roads in this beat ha
\ all been worked and are in good con
N ton. Some few places are a little n
row. A good bit of culvert work h
. been done and with the exception
n two or three they are in good con
ton.
Beat 5-The roads in this beat hs
all been worked and are in good con
ton except a few narrow places. So
culverts need repairing. More culv
work would have been done but
lack of lumber.
