We, the undersigned, commit
tee of three, having been appoint
ed by the Grand Jury at the Oct
ODER term 1916 O fBen Hill coun-
ty superior court to investigate
the ACCESSIBILITY of rebuilding the
Dorminey's Mill Road, leading
from Dorminey's Mill toward
Sturgeon Creek Baptist Church,
and particularly that portion run
ming across the lower end of the
Dickson Mill pond: I
After a careful investigation,
we find that said road has been
duly and regularly legalized, same
having been done in 1885, and
we further find upon a thorough
investigation that said road is
necessary and convenient for a
great number of citizens of said
county who go to said mill to
have their corn and wheat ground,
and for the purpose of travelling.
We therefore recommend that
said road across the lower end of
said pond be rebuilt upon the fol-
lowing terms and conditions:
That you send ten or twelve of
the convicts, together with wheels
and mules and rebuild said road
across hte lower end of said pond.
1t further appearing that M.
Dickson will be more benefited
by said road being rebuilt than
any other citizen in said county,
and he having voluntarily offer
ed and agreed, if said road is re-
built, to pay into the. County
Treasury $4,000, we recommend
that said offer be accepted and as
soon as the work has been finish
ed upon said road, that he pay in
to the County Treasury of said
county, the sum of $4,000. an
agreement by the said Dickson to
pay said amount is attached to
this recommendation.
Respectfully submitted,
J. H. BURKE.
P. F. Stone.
F. M. MALCOLM.
I, M. Dickson, agree to pay in
to the county treasury the sum
of $4,000 upon the road on the
north end of my pond being re-
built.
