following reports, as per order on min
utes of previous, in regard to roads and
bridges in their respective districts:
U. w. MULLINS, DISTRICT l.
Gentlemen: On account of physical
Inability and weather conditions, have
been unable to make a thorough in
spection of roads during December and
January, but on account of excessive
rains. roads are not in as good shape as
they should be. and recent heavy rains
have damaged some bridges, which l
am endeavoring to have repaired as
speedily as possibly.
/ find it almost impossible to get over
seers to work on roads; especially in the
repair of bridges, which if done by
them, would save great deal of ex-
pense to the county.
H. Respectfully submitted,
a.. U. W. MULLINS.

Gentlemen: herewith hand you MY
semi-annual report of roads and bridges:
The roads in this district are worked
--dor the road law of 1912 by commits
aloners and the commissioners have di-
vided the district IN three parts: G. s.
Field in,sce.hssst, W. II. Hunter in
northwest and J. u Prince in center.
rield lEuItea- li4ve worked then
roads and ttey are in good condition.
Prince has worked only one road and
that is the Sbuqualak and Summerville
road and the balance of the roads un-
der Prince has had nothing done to
them this year. | have done every
thing could to get Mr.. Prince to have
roads worked all over his district but
have only got one worked. Bridges are
in good condition and will need very
little repair in 1915.
Respectfully,
w. R. SWINDLE.

all in good condition. The Crawford
