As i havo only about one thousand dollars left now of tho small ap propriation which I received this year, you can readily understand tho proposition I am up against. Owing to the number of bridges that I have had to rebuild and repair this year, on account of tho heavy rains, I have had to draw on Ibo funds 1 had secured in order to maintain the chain gang, and that leaves me practically without any thing. Thanking all for kindness in of fering to do this emergency work and walt for the pay, still I must put all on fair notlco that I seo no way to secure the money to pay for same until after tho Legislature adjourns, possibly about March, 1923.
