Hie Above shows that the High
way Department is in full ac
cord with me in this road mat
ter and that this is no time to
start an experiment with men
who have not shown what they
can do These plans for the dis
trict are worth about $25,000,
and have not cost the Road Dis
trict one penny, nor the people
but a small amount for assist
ants and board for the engi
neers when they were making
the survey.

I expect to get convicts to help build the road so as to be economical and
not interfere with farm labor. When we get ready to let the contract, we
will have to give the contract to the lowest bidder, after advertising for bids
and this contract, with all work done, must be approved by the Government
who has complete supervision over all important matters in regard to the dis
trict and approves all material used in the construction of the road. Fvery
thing has been done and will be done that can be done, but we have to take
time on matters as large as this, especially in the present war crisis. The
road, when completed, will be equal to another railroad, and we all know
how important another railroad would be for this section of the country.
