RAINS CHECKING
BUILDING OF ROADS
Though Districts and Have Made
Some Headway District No. A
and Supervisors Disagree, No Gov
ernment Money Yet, and Work at
Standstill.


Dist. No. was progressing rapidly
with its grading from Port Gibson to
Willis creek when the rains Of past
few days put stop to the work. The
road bed had been put in fine shape
for the top dressing from town to the
hill just this side Of the Magruder
0aken Grove place sAbout half Of
the work at the hill had been COM
pleted by the last Of the past week.
Here an unusual amount Of grading
was necessary in order to eliminate
the sharp curve and decrease the
steep grade, An eight-foot fill was
necessary and much of the south EN-
pankment Of the old road had to be
removed. At this place and at Cham
berlain-Hunt the greatest amount Of
work was required. The road was
Strengthened and a four or five-foot
tlll completely changed the appear
ance Of the road at the latter place.
This work is under Foremen Berger,
DUNCAN and Fife. Foreman Cozine,
with crew of workmen, began work
in the fifth district last week. The
grading started at Willis creek
bridge. The steep hill and sharp
curve are both being eliminated.
Engineer S. C. Daniel has Just
completed a map Of the main artery
through Dist. No. A, from the Port
Gibson bridge through Hermanville
to the Copiah county line, This is as
far as the work in that district has
progressed The aid promised by the
federal government has not yet ma
terialized, and there is said to be some
Misunderstanding or disagreement be-
tween the commissioners of that dis
trict and the board Of supervisors
over the disposition Of the $1,000 or
more which the county at large ex-
poets to contribute toward the build
ing Of that road.
On the whole, road building in the
county is now well under way, and IN
3 few days some gravel will be placed
on the Port Gibson Pattison road I'm
fortunately, some Of the property
owners along the routes are not will
ing to render any assistance to the
workmen, notwithstanding they are
the largest beneficiaries Of the i'm
provements.
