Wc recommend to the Commissioners
of Reads and Revenues that the follow
ing improvements in different places on
the public roads of the county be made;
viz., That two large rooks, in the pubMc
road leading from Raytown towards Foun
tain camp grounds, near old South Liber
ty cemetery, be taken out; That a large
rock, in public road leading from Sharon

Fdge place, be filled with rock; That the
public roads leading from Mr. John T.
Wright's place by the residence of Mr.
Felix F. Darden to Barnett, and the road
leading from Fair I'Jay to the old Jack
Overton place, be reworked and put in
good order,
We recommend that the proper authori¬
ties look especially after those parts of the
public roads which are crossed by rail
roads, and more especially those where
the railroads have been recently supplied
with heavy high iron burs.
We recommend that the Commissioners
of Roads and Revenues enforce rigidly the
j law governing the road commissioners
with regard to having the roads put in
order and kept in order. We regret the
neglect of public duty by those whose
duty it is Vo look after the public roads of
the county.
Wc recommend that no change be made
with regard to the law creating and gov¬
erning our hoard of county Commissioners,
and request our representative, the Hon.
John Johnson, to use his iulliicnce to pro
vent any such change.
We find upon inspecting the pension
roils brought to our notice, (hat upon the
roll of Indigent old soldiers there are a
number of names of persons about whom
we are in considerable doubt as to wheth¬
er they are entitled, under the law, to re¬
ceive a pension; and we recommend that
their names 1)0 referred to the State Com¬
missioner of pensions, the Hon. Richard
Johnson, for further investigation.
We recommend that jurors for the next

their services, and that the clerk of the
Grand Jury be paid as heretofore, S'!.0O

Wc recommend that a committee of
live persons, viz., W. K. Gunn, B. F.

BRIDGES.
There have been three (3) new bridges
built in the County since February Court,
ns follows
One at Jordan's Mill, one over South
fork of Little river near Mrs. Bird’s, and
Colclough's bridge has been rebuilt; ag¬
gregating in length 96 ft, at a cost to the
County of 8214.95 or about Si.90 per run¬
ning foot. These bridges have been built
under specification without the usual
seven years guarantee, thereby consider¬
ably reducing the cost. The bridges
have, however, been closely inspected j

the material used and also the workman- i
