DISTRICT GOOD
ROADS PROJECT
And the Preliminary Work that
Has Been Done
THE ENGINEERING DETAILS
Have Taken Time Some Contracts
Soon 10 be Lei Commissioner
Whiifen's Good Work

1t is a source Of much gratifi-
cation to all citizens of this sec
ton that they will soon begin to
ISee actual work in progress on the
system of good roads that is pro-
vided for by the bond issue of the
Punta Gorda special road and
bridge district-that is, the con-
struction work.
Commissioner VIM. NJ. Written
and Engineer j. S. Banister, with
assistant F. E. Carmichael, have
| for several months been hard at
work getting all details of the
preliminary work in shape for the
beginning of construction. 1t has
been no small task and it is due
Mr.. Written that it be said he has
at a personal sacrifice used his ev-
cry effort to expedite matters.
The benefit of Mr.. Written s past
experience as an engineer on pub
lie projects will prove invaluable
to this district, yet he has given
his services in this capacity with
out compensation.
Much of the engineering work
that was previously done had to
be gone over again for various
reasons, and many details not ia
ken into consideration before have
been worked out that will contri-
butte to the thoroughness and per-
manency Of the roads when COM
pleted. Nothing has been lost
sight Of that would in any way
affect the life of the roads con-
structed of the materials that are
to be used; and it may be said
that with the completion Of the
work, judging from the attention
that has been given it from an en-
gineering standpoint, this section
will soon have system of as tine
highways as are to be found in
the State, excepting of course
those that are to be made Of those
more expensive materials, such
as brick, concrete, etc.
Not only has Commissioner
Written been diligent and careful
in giving attention to the details
of the engineering work, but he
has given due thought to all other
matters in so far as the people di- !
rectly affected are concerned. In
this latter respect, it has been his |
desire to work out things so that |
home people may have an oppor-
tunity to secure employment while |
theworkis going on and he is even
anxious that some of our people |
may bid on and secure some of |
the contracts that are to be let. 1t |
must be understood, though, that |
the interests of the people of the
district as a whole are not going
to be lost sight of, and all bidders |
whether home people or not, will |
have an equal chance, the con-
tracts to be awarded to the low
est and best bidders, everything
