COUNTY ROADS, ARE.
AGAIN PASSAbLE
Roads Badly Damaged by
Recent Heavy Rains Have
Been Repaired

Jefferson county is now giving more
attention to the public highways than
ever before in it's history.
This was the statement of Rufe Biv-
ems, member of the board of reve-
nue.. Mr.. Bivens assured a reporter of
The Ag-Herald that while in some
parts of the county the roads were
very bad, in other parts in medium
condition, the roads as whole were
in good shape and everything was be-
ing done to get the roads in the best
possible shape and every resource
available to the road funds of the coun-
! ty was being utilized for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Bivens stated that the recent
heavy rains and floods had not only
completely washed out the county
roads, but had ruined all the crops. He
stated that the farmers were very blue
at the prospects, but that it had not
deferred some hundreds of them from
participating in the Good Roads
days on Monday and Tuesday of the
present week.
Most of the farmers" said RUFF
Bivens, came out and worked the pub
| lie highways of the county on Good
Roads days. Besides we had some 500
convicts on the job and the work done
/ in the first two days of this week re-
pair in a great measure some of the
damage caused by the recent heavy
rains.
And these rains and floods were
livery disastrous. All of our roads were
badly damaged, placing a great and
{unexpe cted drain on the road funds OF
1.-THE county.
But it was not only our public roads
land bridges that were destroyed by the
frans and floods. The farmers throughout
|the county suffered. Their crops are al
most ruined and the farmers are now
facing a grim winter ahead, for they have
nothing to represent their work the past
spring and summer. The farmers not
Eonly lost their cotton, but all the side
{crops by the unprecedented rains.
but despite the blues of the farmers
enthusiastic for good roads. On Monday
and Tuesday of this week the good roads
days, the farmers were out in force in all
parts of the county, doing their share to-
wards lettering the highways. And the
roads needed the extra work as the floods
had we'll nigh washed them all away.
LAS to what the board of revenue is
doing to the county roads at the present
time, I will answer that they are doing
more than at any other time in the his
tory of Jefferson county. More money
lis being spent, more convict labor being
utilized and more propaganda for good
roads is being spread about the county
under the supervision of the board of
revenue than at any other period past.
+ Members of the board of revenue are
expected to make a tour of inspection
OF the roads of the county either today
or tomorrow.
