Port Gibson, Miss, Jan. 9th, 1920.
To the Honorable Board of Supervis-
ors, Claiborne County, Miss.
Gentlemen:
Please accept this my report on
condition of roads and bridges in Dis
trlct Number One for the last quarter
1919. | have inspeced same, and fitnd
most OF the roads in passable con-
ditlon. recommend payment to my
contractor on all roads worked by
him, however, not knowing the agree
ment made between him and the Dist.
Road Commission for the working
Of the Pattison, Russum and Tillman
roads 1 can make no Recommendation
for them. AS / understand there is
some agreement made for these roads.
There has appeared in number Of
our roads springy places that / have
had crosslaid, and now have these
places in fair shape. | respectfully
call your attention to the James Creek
bridge near Westside. The creek is
caving badly here, and it looks like
might eventually take a ay the ap-
proach to the east end Of bridge. This
bridge is under contract Of Mr.. Wall
ter Jordan for refiooring and repair
ing, which contract has not yet been
completed
There has been considerable com
plant about the caving at the south
end Of Suspension Bridge at Port
Gibson. This has been getting much
worse lately, and whether it will pay
to do any amount of work to stop
same / am unable to say; however,
feel sure that the old bridge has al
most served its day and time, and will
very soon be unable to carry the
loads that will have to be hauled over
it.
can not recommend too strongly
that this new board find better way
Of working its dirt roads than under
the contract system, and hope that by
the time contracts expire, which is
July 1920, they viii have determined
upon some different plan Of working
the roads.
With best wishes, am
Yours very truly,
L. B. ALLEN,
Former Supervisor Dist. No. /, Clai-
borne County, Miss.
