Morrison, Publisher LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: In traveling over our Dade County roads, I have come to the conclusion that they are in the worst condition I have ever seen. The curves don’t have the Proper elevation and the drain¬ age ditches aren’t even large enough to carry the water. The roads on Sand Mountain need ground limestone very badly and the valley roads as well.

There are also holes in these roads as big as a large dishpan. We need good roads to do our business on and also to transport the school children over as they go to and from school. There is a need for tile to be put on places where it is needed and additional tile at places where there are old places. The roads do not have a crown and when pulling the ditches they pull on one side ----——i-' and fill up on --- the ---- other. ----— • There — is a need for lots of wooden bridges to be replaced with new concrete bridges and some wood bridges that could be replaced with concrete tile. During these days that grad¬ ing can’t be done, ground lime¬ stone can be spread and bridges could be repaired and right- of-way cleared so the curves will be less dangerous. —A Traveler. Editor’s Note: It is hoped that Dade County will soon be allotted more money from the Rural Roads Authority to alleviate these conditions and the roads which w r ere covered by floods.)
