James Report.
/ have gone over ana inspected
practically all the public roads n Dis
trict 2, and find them in very good
condition and recommend pay for all
the roads in my district.
| find some of the culverts and
bridges in bad condition and also the
approaches to the bridges and sug-
gest that the contractors give this
matter their attention al once.
There is some work on the public
rodas that cannot be done with
grader and this work should be done
by the contractors win slips and
shovels.
Horton Reports.
have gone over roads in District
and find some of them in good condi-
ton and others not so good. The
road from river bridge, near Grays
port to foot of Ingrim hill needs to
have the brush and bushes cut from
side of bridges and the bushes cut on
side Of road. There are many cu!-
verts that need to De fixed. The
road near Billy koonce's needs to be
fixed at once.
recommend pay for all my roads
except the road from Horton bridge to
county line near Mr.. S. J. McCor-
macks, a distance Of IA miles, one
and one-half miles on Billy Koonce
road and one mile on Cohea road.
l recommend pay for 20 3-4 miles st
$416jSSG.32.
Provine Reports.
have been over roads in Beat / and
find them in good condition with the
exception of much dust, which makes
it impossible to keep them smooth,
but as we have had fine rain and
with dragging they will be good.
l find the Goza road in many places
is too low to carry the water as the
backs on each side are higher than the
road and the fences Of land owners are
SO near the drains that it is impossible
to get dirt to make these fills.
recommend that you get more dirt
and make these fills as soon as pos
sible.
! find some few culverts in bad
shape but lumber Of right kind is hard
to get and am waiting until can get
oak lumber to repair some Of these.
/ find the road from Billup's road
across to Carroll County to have q
wash in branch which will necessitate
change and think such change
should be made before any more work
is done on road. The bridge on the
Bew Springs road is in bad condi-
ton and should be done at once, also
the bridge across creek south OF
Nason's in bad condition and recon-
mend that the iron bridge south OF
Simpson house be put there.
I recommend pay for all roads ex-
cept one mile north of T. 4. Billups.
