Feb. 90, 1915.
Mr.. F. M. Sargent,
Ashland Wis.
Dear Sargont-Ihave yours
in regard TO the Armstrong Creek,
North Crandon road in the town of
Caswell. 1t seems rather plain that
the contractor on this job got stuck,
Fthat Mr.. Mckinley let him off with an
incomplete contract and then finished
up his work in some sort or shape by
day labor.
do not know just what to say about
continuing the investigation and get
ting witnesses to prove the various
points raised. 1t would seem to me
that if the county board desires to fol
low this matter Cup, and believe that
they should, that the investigation of
the matter should lie IN the hands of
the county committee and the district
attorney, who certainly have better
facilities, are nearer the ground and
should follow the thing out.
We, of course, will offer to render
any assistance we can, especially in an
engineering way, in checking up the
grades to see how close they were
reached, and not only on this road but
all other roads. with especial reference
if any, to the yardage ofsearth moved.
This of course should be run down,
but believe it should be run down in
the form of formal investigation by
the county board. | doubt whether we
have any legal authority to push such
an investigation or whether we can re-
cover anything in case there has been
anything distinctly wrong. In legal
sense, these were county transactions,
and suit for recovery or final inves-
tigation to discover what happened is
a county matter. | hope TO hear from
Mr. Sherman to whom / have sentFa
copy of this letter, his views as to
further procedure
Yours very truly,s
Wisconsin Highway Commission,
By State Highway Engineer.
