<br />Vero Beach, Florida
<br />November 239 1944.
<br />Blue Cyeress Lake Road
<br />�wlr.-�1�nrr.a.�..�s�■ r.
<br />For your information in connection with -Mr. B ,L. Holman*s letter of Oat. 23 pre-
<br />taining to the above subject, the Road and Bridge Department began work in the nature of re -
<br />(pairing fences on monday November 20th, 1944. To date, posts have been out and hauled to the
<br />.:site and some wire has been streeched on the west part of the fence.
<br />Because of the damage resulting from the recent tropical storm and the shortage of
<br />labor, it has been impossible to begin this work before the date mentioned because of the fact
<br />that there were a considerable number of roads in the County that were completely closed to
<br />,traffic on account of wash -outs and damaged bridges and culverts. ,
<br />To further complioate matters and our -agreement with Air. Holman the present high
<br />water resulting from the heavy rains aoompanying the storm, makes it humanly impossible to
<br />complete the work of repairing the fences and construction of cattle gards at this time. On
<br />;Tuesday Nov. the twenty-first, the water level was fou rteen.inches above ground level at the
<br />entrance of this road into Mr. Holmans property. In traveling eastward along the road right cf
<br />way toward the lake the water ranges up to five feet in depth and for a long distance is well
<br />over the top strand of barb wire of the fenoes along the right of way, which are of course,
<br />the fences we are trying to repair and rebuild. In view of these conditions I cant force or
<br />ileven ask the type of labor we are working to proceed to completion with with your instructions
<br />of the last regular meeting. However the fences ars being repaired and rebuilt as for as pos-
<br />Bible . -
<br />I discussed with Her. Holman, the plausibility of constructingtwo cattle gaps at a
<br />point west of the west and of the boat canal in place of a bridge over the canal which he
<br />stated would meet with his approval, provided a gate would be constructed on each side between
<br />;the cattle gards to prevent interance into his property. This plan, I feel, will be a much
<br />more satisfactory arrangment fo`r both Mr. Holman and the County.
<br />I am: mailing Mr. Holman a copy of this letter so that there will be no misunder-
<br />., standing as to the Countyf s part of the intent to fulfill and carry out its part of the agree- aryl
<br />meet.
<br />Very truly yours,
<br />E. E. Carter
