ance. All roads have been main
tanned, except Old Carrollton and
Troy road, OF road running near Sam
Smiths old place. and Lefore road.
which are in bad condition, but con-
tractors will give those roads imme-
date attention, Our contractors
have been loyal and have used every
available means to get all roads up
in Beat One. but owing to shortness

ply fully with agreement.
I recommend pay for SIS miles of
road in Dist. I.
