With all of this work completed
your committee feel that this road
will be in good shape for public
service for many years to come.
During the progress OF this work,
your committee have met with many
problems not contemplated and pro-
vided for in the plans and specif1ca-
lions prepared by the engineers, and
we have done the best we could
to solve these problems at the
lowest cost possible TO the County,
consistent with the building OF
permanent highway.
In your consideration of the cost
of this work you must have in
mind that when the committee TOOK
charge of the work, contracts had
been let to the amount OF $l5,55O.OO,
leaving the amount expended by
your committee for the protection
of work provided for in original
contracts, $4,378.S8.
We recommend that the board at
this session make provisions for the
surfacing of this road and to fur
Their safeguard same. Guard rails
should be built along such portion
of the highway as may be deemed
necessary in order to make it safe in
every way.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.
