The following is my report of con-
ditions of the roads of Beats 2 and 3
that are under contract for mainten-
ance.
| have not had an opportunity to
inspect the roads during the past
week on account of the inclement
weather and the contractors have
not had opportunity to work them,
but under date of Feb. oath 1922, the
roads were in first class condition of
maintenance and | therefore recon-
mend that payments be made in full.
G.. b. Denham, Road Com.
Approved.
1t appearing that one or more
property owners through whose land
the proposed road petitioned for by
j. r. Singleton and others. will run,
has not received legal notice of the
filing of petition nor agreed to give
right-of-way hrough their n"oDerty.
1t appearing that Nathan Washing
ton was enormously assessed for the
wear 1921, with one road tax he be-
ing a cripple, having lost n leg and
not liable for said road tax, ano ma
he has paid said road tax, it is ordered
that the clerk issue warrant to said
Nathan Washington for $500 to re-
fund said erroneous tax.
- A. Do-l L-
considerable number of tax payers of
Grenada COUNTY. have expressed their
opposition to the issuance of any
Loan Warrants, and the board. while
they find hat the petitions on file
against the issuance of said loan war
rants are not sufficient to prevent
said issuance, yet the board feels that
they do not care to proceed in this
matter further at the present time.
in view of said opposition, it is there
fore ordered that the board do not at
the present time issue said loan war
rants, and it further appearing that
there is o sufficient money in the
County Treasury to the credit of the
Road and Bridge funds of said COun-
ty to take care of any further in
debtedneSS incurred in taking care of
and maintaining said roads and
bridges, nor is there likely to be any
such funds for some time to come, it
is therefore ordered that all the work
except that which is absolutely neceS-
sary and for the payment of which
there may be in said funds sufficient
money to pay for, be discontinued
from this day until further ordered,
and that the Road Commissioner mott
fly all persons having contracts or
working and maintaining the roads of
the present depleted condition Of the
road fund and that in event they
continue, on said contracts they viii
do so with the full understanding
that they can not be paid for same
until sufficient funds therefor shall
come in said road funds.
Ordered that the report of Dr.. W.
s. feathers, State Registrar of vital
statistics be approved.
1t appearing that there are not suf-
ficent funds in the Project Number

counts, it is therefore ordered that
the clerk Of the board be ordered to

the Hard-Surfaced Road Fund to the
