ROAD REPORTS
Gentlemen
Beg to submit this my first re-
port on the public roads of District
One. I have inspected all first
class roads and find them In good
condition with few exceptions;
some in unusually good condition
for this season. A few of the sec
ond class roads are in good condi-
tion, but some of them are In rath-
er bad condition. Have had trouble
in getting material for culverts and
bridges. Many of them need re-
pairing. Hope to be able to get
them all in good shape by next
meeting, A number of our main
bridges are in need of repairs, and
fear that extensive repairs will be
necessary before the year Is over.
l would strongly recommend that
the county take steps to begin
some permanent work on our main
roads so that at least a part of the
money we spend on our roads shall
be spent for something that will
last at least part Of lifetime. l
think concrete or steel cuIverts a
step In this direction, for our av-
erage bridge is very expensive
and short lived piece of work
Respectfully submitted.
