To the Board of Superviors, Yalo.
busha County. July, 1921, Term:
l beg leave respectfully to report
that the roads in district No. 5, are
in fairly good shape, and that the
work of the contractors is being
done according to plans and specifi-
cations. We are handicapped to
some extent in this district by reason
of the fact that a portion of the
roads are being worked under the
Code of 1906, provisions, portion
under Chapter 176 of 1924, and a
portion under Chapter 173 of 1914.
There has been difficulty in keeping
the roads and bridges in proper con-
dition in the Schoona district & Tor
rance district, worked under Chapter
173 Of the laws of 1914, due to the
fact that the funds of the district
were early exhausted and were not
sufficient to pay for the mainte-
nance of the roads and bridges un-
der the method adopted by the com
of the district. The
bridges in the district are in need Of
repairs but bridge work is being
done as far as the funds of the coun-
ty will permit.
