proposed to improve in the order in

1 pin6mcnt SrbnoI n Trnnf
0.5 miles.
| Piedmont School TO Sun
! light. 2.5 miles.
The writer's investigation develops
the fact that it will not be necessary
to make any radical changes in the
| location of these roads. as the present
| grades and alignment are unusually
good. Several local changes should
be made, however, these will in no
way detrimentally effect the servic-
ability Of the completed road TO any
person now using the present road.

submitted belOwa
