TO BEGIN.
The Good Roads Commission is
now in readiness to take up the work
of hard surfacing certain roads in
the parish, and is waiting for an in
spection of the work by the Federal
engineer, who is to inspect this workr
before advertisement can be made:
The Federal engineer has been re

over and it is believed that he will
be here just as soon as he can ar

on the Federal aid it is very prob
able that the Commission will adver
tise for bids on some section of road
where Federal aid could hardly nz
expected on that particular road.
