Both bridges and the road, grades approaching them are safely | beyond high water mark. The Sad- dle creek bridges eepecially span what heretofore for a larse portion! of every year has been impassable barriers to people desiring to travel the road between this city and Au- burndale. After a careful examinatior of the work by the county commigsion- ers and the citizens who accom- panied them, the brid~es were ac- ceptedl, everybody beineg satisfied that the county has gecured in them a great and lastinz {mprovement, well worth the cost, which totals up, | for the three bridses complete, $8,- 292.08. In the neizhborhood of the Sad- dle creek bridces Commissioner Hol- brook has a force of about forty con- victs at work grading the road to Auburndale. The greater portion of this prading work between Lakeland and Carters has been completed, and the road is ready for the hard sur- facinz. It is a eplerdid plece of road work, Mr. Holbrook having straightened out the route to con-' form to section lines as far as pos- sible, and there are stretches of miles straight as the crow flles and graded to the nicety of a city park- way. This road will be a great commercial feeder to Lakeland, glv- inz means of access to this city to a larze number of people who have heretofore had to travel sand| streaks and trails through the swamps. Lookinz on this snlendid bezinnine, one cannot but deerly re-| gret that Mr. Holbrook cannot car-! ry to completion the work he out-! lined and to which he has given guch conscientious and ungelfish la- | * bor. The ccnviets are worked under the supervision of Mr. C. G. Fletch- er, and if the county were gearched - over, it would be imnossible to find 2 man better fitted for the position’ he occupies. The treatment of enn-| viets is a matter i1 which the writer| has always taken a deep Interest, and he took thig oecasion to enenk privately to gomn nf the men work- ing on the road. They declared em- e phatically they had no complaint to 8 make; that their treatment was as good as they had a rizht to expect, or better. In fact, they 4did rot geem to realize that they were con- victs, and went about their work with a cheerfulpess that spoke more _eloquently than words of the gecod management and kindly treatment that is the rule in their camp.
