which leads from Cabin Creek to
Plumville. Notwithstanding the fact,
that rock is on every hand, this road
is sadly i'm need of same. There are
several small strings of broken rock
which have been laying on the side of
the road, it looks like, for several
years. Why this rock has not been
spread, | do not know. The water
does more damage to this road than
the travel. Several years ago, the
hills of this road seemed to have had
breaks put upon them but same have
lflled up now and do not turn the wat
err aside. This pike is 2-1O miles in
length.
| took the Tolcsboro road from Rec
torvile, of which there is $40 of a
mile in Mason county. This connects
with the model road which Lewis
county built from Tolesboro to the
Mason county line. This Lewis coun-
ty model road is nothing but plenty
of rock with screenings for a binder
and well rolled down, and cost about
100000 per mile. 1t would be well
worth any taxpayers time to visit
this piece of road, as | have always
Thought that this was the class of
construction that Mason county could
afford, and with a bond Issue of $780,
900 could have made model roads out
OF over p the mileage in Mason coun-
ty.
then took the Burtonville road at
Rectorville and followed it to the
Lewis county line from which point
make my comment. The two miles of
this road in Mason county was built
mostly of gravel and not to exceed
five years ago, il was in splendid con-
dition. Gravel is still available in
Phillips Greek and its tributaries, for
repair work, and cost nothing but the
hauling. There are probably 10 or
II rod of rock which were broken in
1915 on these two miles that have
never been spread but certainly could
be used to a good advantage at the
points where they lay.
From Rectorville to Plumville, the
road is needing great deal of repair,
