The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1916-10-13

are in bad condition and abuttments
to some of the bridges are also in
bad condition, as well as the drain
age on these W. roads is very poor
and unsatisfactory. The contractor
has promised me that he would begin
at ice IN the two last mentioned
roads and bring them up to the
standard and in Il good passable con
dition. | would like to state that my
roads as Il whole are not in just the
condition | would like to have them,
or rather in the condition in which
| expect 70 have them within the next
few months; this is due to the fact
that the roads in my district were in
such bad shape at the time the con-
tractor was employed.
I recommend that the contractor
be paid for 3SA miles or road in this
distrirt.
Respectfully submitted.

To the Honorable Board Of Super
visors:
have carefully examined the
roads in Dist. 5 and find there has
been lots of work done on them dur
ing last quarter. l find them plenty
wide but a few places not cut to
plans and specifications. The most
of the places is due to wire fences
which are refused to be moved, and
from information l find neither the
contractors nor the county can have
them moved until there has been a
deed obtained for the right-of-way.
| find the road leading from Mr.. Law
%rence's to W. W. Martins and from
Mr.. Martins TO G. W. Moore's in the
worst shape. The hill near Mr..
Mills should have attention right
away and the contractors tell me
they will fix this at once. as it has
now rained and the ground will not
be so hard.
The little bottoms on the road
leading from Mr.. Martins to G. W.
Moore's is not quite wide enough;
the contractors say they intend to fix
this road also, in the near future.
This is one of the places that wire
fences interfere with widening the
road. Bridges and culverts are in
fine shape except the abuttments of
bridges where the dirt has worked up
to dust and causes abrupt jump-off.
Since it has rained all these little
troubles can easily be overcome and
Beat 5 will have the best roads it
has had since it went under the con-
tract system. recommend pay for
81 miles.
Respectfully submitted,
L. T. HAYDEN.
