r. A. Wells, Resident Eng'r
Ordered that foregoing report be
accepted.
To the Board of Supervisors:
On account of the Importance of
keeping the bridge work in progress
and the supervisors realizing this en-
cessity. appealed to the supervisors
of their RESPECTIVE beats to assist me
at thish time in helping me by taking
up the roads in their beats, which ali
did do, except Mr.. Childers, who de-
clined to share this responsibility;
and allow me to thank you one and
all for this needed assistance.
l am pleased to report that we
are now building bridges. One crew
is at work on the sill and bent
bridges and l am expecting the pie
driver crew up this week, and | be-
lieve that the work from now on will
keep in rapid progress. From Beadle
Creek to Daley Creek, l have engag-
ed Mr.. Walter Koonce to furnish
material and build these bridges,
From complaint of the superinten-
dent of Education and the trustees
OF the HOlcomb school, l have re-
paired the bridge yer Duggar
praled bridge over Duggar Creek.
This bridge was 100 feet. l have
had this bridge made shorter down
to 36 feet, thereby saving 81 feet
of bridge to the county for future
use. Mr.. w. F. Martin abs repeat
eddy asked me TO try to have some
thing odne to the low place between
his gate and the R. w. Mullen gin /:
this hope you will not pass un-
noticed. Some of our influential tax
payers often remind me OF the fact
that the dump is being neglected and
becoming every day i ma much worse
condition. ! do not believe that the
travel can go and come when the
winter rains commence. believe
that the cntier board will agree that
something ought to be done. What
shall we do, and when shall we do it?
We all agreed sometime ago that the
roads should be made into new links
so that the supervisors and the COM
missioner may know the different
links of road throughout the county,
and recommend with your approval
that each mile Of road be made a
link, and that mile posts be erected
at once, and also guide posts. re-
port on Beat 4 roads as follows. to-
wit: recommend pay on all roads less
8 miles and the bond roads; | sug-
gest that contractor on the cinder
road instead-of dragging and grading
the cinder road that he puts oil on
it. the oil and wagon being furnished
him, neither oil onr wagon to cost
anything.
Respectfully submitted,
V. A. Bridges, Commissioner.
