Mr. W. 3. Keller,
State Highway Engineer,
Montgomery, Ala.
Dear Sir:-
Referring to the Daphne Loxley Nunez bridge route across Baldwin County, a map of which I mailed you recently, in spite of the advorso weather conditions, our organization is gradually getting the road in
. such shape that wo will soon be able to put traffic across the County
without discomfort.
With the cooperation of the County Commissioners we have built a bridge over the Blackwater, East of Loxley and have supplied the necessary culverts, so that the major problems have been taken care of.
Our organization, realizing that maintenance, not alone road construction, had to be provided for, arranged the purchase of a tractor,
scoop scrapes and graders, so that we are assured that our road will be
maintained in first class conditon.
With our own funds supplemented by the County Commissioners, wo have spent between Four and Five Thousand Dollars on road improvement and
equipment in the last few months. Our expenditures have been under #he jurisdiction of a civil engineer employed by us, and up to the present we feel that expenditures have been wisely made. We have endeavored to plan for the future in our procedure, and in all our new right-of-way have secured sixty foot deeds.
After the present improvements are accomplished, however, wo feel that we should have the advice of your department in regard to curves,
grades and railroad crossings, and if possible, we would like to have you
