The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1916-12-08
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

sion this week decided to reject all
bids for resurfacing the Humphreys
Highway on account of the high cost
of material. The said bids were so
high at the present cost of material
that the building of roads at this
time was out Of the question.
Five miles of the road was to have
been built of asphalt and the remain
der was to have been treated over the
gravel with a liquid asphalt prepara-
ton. The five miles of road from
the Northern end Of the Yazoo River
bridge to Lucas gin is a part Of the
highway running through the coun-
ty east to west and is already be-
ing built.
Be it remembered that a regular
meeting of the Board Of Supervisors
of Leflore County, Mississippi, was
