have zone over and carefully in
spected all Of said roads and find
them in fairly good condition with the
exception of road leading from Gren-

ing from Middle Road, known as Prov
idence Road, to seven mile board. in
bad condition; balance of roads in
very good condition, but none of them
are up to plans and specifications.
The last quarter has been a hard quar-
ter on roads. owing to the fact of the
heavy rains. l have decided after a
fair trial with day labor on the roads.
that it will be best to have the roads
worked by contractor. My costs for
maintaining, etc., the roads for last
quarter is $732.46. which is approx
mately 1892 per mile.
Report of j. E. Carpenter on roads
in District q:
l have carefully inspected the roads
in this district-Owing to the fact that
we were without a contractor in this
district for at least six months, the
present contractor took these roads
in bad shape. l find the roads in good
travelling condition, but not what 1
expect in the future. Owing to the
fact that the contractor has got until
| October list for the width, l recon-
mend payment to said contractor for
SO miles of road. | urge that the
contractor in this district to drag all
Of the roads at the very earliest con-
venience, and repair all of the Gull
verts and abuttments to all bridges,
in first-class order. That the con-
tractor will at once begin the width on
hills where the sinks are. as they
have until October LIST for their width.
| will oppose giving them any longer
than the date mentioned for their
width, as they will have plenty of
time if they will do their duty. I
urge the contractor to drain the wa
ter III of the roads at every possible
place. as l know that drainage is the
secret of good roads.
Report of L.. F. Hayden on roads,
District 5:
| have gone over all the roads in
said Beat except 2 miles west of Le-
flOre on the road known as the Bur-
rows road-this road has not been
worked this quarter at all. | find the
balance Of the roads in good shape ex-
cept the width. culverts and a few
washes on sides of said roads caused |
from recent rains. The contractors
are taking lots of pains with roads in
my Beat, and say they will have all
roads up to specifications by October
LIST. | recommend pay for 20 miles
at $3.50 per mile.
This day coming on to be heard the
petition of j. A. Martin, ct ais, for
change in the public road as set out
in said petition; and the Board, after

mine that said petitioners have COM
piled with the law, and that the own
ers of the lands through which the
road will run by said change being
made, have signed said petition and
that the right of way will be decided
to the County without cost.
Ordered that said petition be grant
