Your instructions don’t carry much weight in regard to fixing up our road. It has never been fixed up yet, and I can see a bad winter in front of us. I saw one report that' the road w*as in/ good order. I don’t know what they call in good order when the water-table is the wheel track in the middle of the road. It is alright looking at our road after a dry spell. Let them look at it in the winter months after some rain and then I think they would have a little consideration for us.
