Hon. Board Of Supervisors.
Gentlemen:
have the honor to present my re-
port for first quarter Of this year on
road and bridges in first district, Clai-
borne County.
All bridges are in good repair. and
all culverts with the exception Of one
or two are in good shape. A few new
ones should go in and / am so notify
ing my contractors.
The roads of contractor Mcclure are
all IN good shape and / recommend
that he be paid in full for Links Nos.
a, 5. III, IL, 13 and IA.
The roads of contractor Watson are
not what they should be and although
he is now getting same worked IN
they will not be finished and up to
specifications in this quarter. there
fore recommend that he be paid in full
on Links No. 6, z, 8, and fined 25 per
cent on No. and 10 and Is.
The bridges on the Russum road to
county line will be finished in a few
weeks. They are being constructed
with concrete and steel at a cost very
little more than if wood is used and
will stand many years before needing
any repair and instead Of being
source of expense viii prove an eco
nomical expenditure.
For past quarter / have expended
on roads and bridges $227.27; on ma
terial for bridges Russum road 1903.
go; Contractors, $1159.77. Total 2190.

Hon. Board of Supervisors, Claiborne
County,
Sirs:
! hereby submitmy report on roads,
bridges and culverts in Dist. No. 2 for
the 1st Quarter of 1921. / have in
spected all roads, bridges and culverts
as the law directs and find that they
are in better shape as a whole than
they have been in over two years, as
Gather conditions have been more fa-.
vorable, and there has been less heavy
traffic the last quarter.
The road leading from Ingleside to
Guice Fork is rough, has a few holes
due to heavy traffic, hauling slaves,
otherwise all roads, bridges and cul-
verts in Dist. No. 2 for the 1st quar-
ter of 1921. All roads in my district
are in pretty good shape; as for cul-
verts and bridges the last heavy rain
washed five of the largest bridges
down. l have built 8 new ones, re-
placed one old one, and have one be-
ing rebuilt at present on Kennison's
Bayou. All culverts are in good shape
as can be expected.
l am glad our county affairs were
investigated by the taxpayers league,
in order for the people to know our
limited amount of funds TO operate on
as well as the enormous debt our coun-
ty carries.
The expenses of roads for last quar-
ter was S1437.S8, total, lumber bridges
nails, labor, etc, $1062.37.
I recommend E. A. McCaa be paid
