District 1: Construction in District 1 on the Scott Hill will continue, possiblilty of the being completed by this afternoon, and re-opened, with only paving by a contractor to be done. "This work was speeded along because of the help of Mr. James Scott, who very generously granted easements to facilitate the project, and we thank him for that," Judge Ann Melton said.

District 3: Third District Magistrate Sammy Baker, KHD Adair County Roads Supervisor Junior Brown, and I will be meeting with State Engineers to look at a Emergency Project where Crocus Creek is undermining the Melson Ridge Road (county's part) The problem is approximately 1-2 miles from the Dewey & Grace Turner place at Inroad.

District 6: A temporary road and ford is being constructed around the Spout Springs Bridge to allow ingress and egress for residents and for visitors to Spout Springs and the Giles House as well.

Signs cautioning motorists were erected on Spout Springs Road over the weekend.

The work will be on the west, or Knifley side of the present bridge. Judge Melton wishes to thank Mr. Billy Joe Breeding for granting a temporary easement for this construction. "It means so much to have citizens such as Mr. Breeding," she said. "his help will mean so much with solving the bridge problem. But more than that, we appreciate the work he has done over the years to preserve the beauty the land around the Giles House and all he has done to keep Spout Springs available to all the people who regularly come to get water there."

We have not yet received word on the emergency funds needed for replacement of the Spout Springs Bridge.

Please drive carefully in these areas and watch for road workers and construction. -LISA LEE , CJE administrative assistant, office of Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton. 270-384-4703. Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton.
