Oalhoun Oounty, aoting through its Commissioners Court, desires to let you know
in this formal manner, as we have already done verbally and informally, that we are and have
been for some time waiting for you to deliver us mud-shell for the construotion of roads,
under your contraot With said County. The roads need shelling badly and we have two stretohes
of road prepared and ready to plaoe shell on same at onoe; and the shell must sOQn be pIa oed '
on it, or the work'of preparing the dirt to receive it will have to be done over at oonsid- '
erable loss to the County. . , , .
State and Federal Aid on oapping of roads from Viotoria County line to Wittnebert Gate
has been finally and definitely granted. The appropriations by both the County and by the
State and Federal Governments ha,ve, been set aside, and the money is available 'at once for
oompleting both projects on said road. . ,
M:any are ready to haul shell now, 'and we can keep you oontinually busy from now until
the oontract is fulfilled on your part,-rainy weather exoepted.
, It has now been nearly three months sinoe your woi:k of supplying shell to us was inter-
rpted by the storm and we hope you will soon be ready to resume delivery of shell to us.
A reply to this by Friday night 'of this week; stating when 'you oan deliver us shell,
will be greatly allpreoiated.

Very Respectfully~'

Port Levac" ~ Texasi' July 16th. 1921~
.
,
J.
Dear Sir;-
, With reference to the hearing before the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors
of the Lynns Bayou improvement at Port Lavaca, Calhoun County, Texas; with a view of obtain-
ing their f~vorable recommendation, we earnestly call your attention to the following facts;
That said improvement will enableJp;ot only the people of CalhoUn County; but of
many of the adjacent and tributary South Texas Counties to reap the benefits and uses of.the
Intercoastal Canal, by having an harbor through which the products of these several oounties
may ship to deep water.
1 That without this harbor improvement these counties are deprived of the use' of this
Intercoastal Canal.
That the ir.Jprovement of said harbor will c.reate and cause to be built up a shipping
fleet. that can safely use said harbor ~uring storms.
That it will lighten the traffio oft the railroads, ani give qUick transportation
to shipsid.e of many classes of farm products, especially cotton for export.
Therefore.; the County C.Qmmissioners Court of Calhoun County; Texas, does hereby
place itself of record as favoring the improvement of said harbor for the reas~ns hereinoefore
stated; and urge upon you the importance of securing its favorable consideration by ~he said
Board of Engineers and of the National Congress.
Assuring you that we appreoiate your efforts in this behalf, we beg to remain,
I

ConcluSions
In order to show that each ditch has a sufficient carrying capacity, I have mode =0
test calculation of the capacity at the Six Mile Rood which has always been the congestion
'point. These calculations show thD't the ditches will carry the quantities of woter shown
.. - l'
h~~illi: t
Di tch #1 525 .Acre feet per 24 hours
t " u Alternate 790 acre feet per 24 hours
;.
,
Ditch #2 106 Acre feet per 24 hours
Ditch #3 790 Acre feet per 24 hours
These calculations show thot the proClosed ditches providEi a capDoity slightly'in.
exoess' of that necessary for the acreage of the Distriot; however, since there is likelihood i:
of storm water from heavy rainfalls on the West of the District breaking over into the
District, thereby causing extra duty to fall upon the ditches, it is deemed advisable to have
ditch area somewhat in excess, of the Dotuol requirements of the District.
Respectfully submitted,

PRClPOSAL FOR EllGINEERIJI,G SERVICES
ON STATE HIGKOAY NO. 59 FROM PALA-
ClOUS m MATAGORDA COUNTY TO TIVOLI
IN REFUGIO COUl~TY.
-'
(al This proposal mad~ this l3th Qay of December A. D. 1927, be Nagle, Vlitt, Rollins and
Gilchrist, General and Cons}llting J!;ngineers, covers the whole or any integral (Jounty unit of}
State Highway Number 59 leading from Palacios in r]atagorda County through~the souther half .
of Jackson County, across Calhoun C01LYJty, to tivoli in Refugio County. Its acceptance by the
.~ Commissioners Court of any County traversed shall constitute a contract for the portion in I'
+,said County, contingent, however, on its acceptance by Calhoun <Jounty, the mileage and costs
, in the other Counties being such as not to justify the rate for services hereinafter ~iven.
(b) This proposal covers only engineering services up to and including the award of
construction contract for any separate County or section, inasmuch as the State Highway De-
partment participating in construction will possibly desire to make its own arrangement for
supervision of construction. Shoul our services be desired for construction a separate' a-
.. greement may be made when contracts are awarded.
(cl \7e propose to act as Consulting Engineers for Counties accepting this proposal on
the location, design and construction plans for a net fee hereinafter named; said services
to inclllde the supervision of surveys,designs and plans and to co-operate"in this regard
with the various Counties and vath the State Highway Department and cur services under this
, proposal shall not terminate until the plans specifications and. estimates are approved. by
the State Highway Department.
(d) ~'qr this service our net fee shall be $1,000.00 for liefugio (Jounty, ~7, 000. 00 for
Calhoun CoUnty and ~2,500:00 for Jackson vounty, these amoUllts being based on an estimated
1% of the final construction cost, but our fee shall in no vliae be more or less than the a-
mOUllts named, except in the case of toll bridges as hereafter referred to. This fee is to
be net to us and in addition thereto the respective Counties shall pay, on certified accounts
which we will submit"all other expenses of assistants, draftsmen, supplies, instruments,
transportation, traveling expenses, including expenses of members of this firm, a~d all other,
necessary items charge~ble to engineering. 'the net fee to this firm shall be ]:laid at the
rate of 5%. per month, beginning on the date on which we are instructed to begin work. Such
advance payments shall continue until 80% of said fee has been paid, provided the plans for
1LYJit I' (gradin~ anS!- struc-puresl have not been completed: ,and: approved priol' to that time, in:
which event 8pl" of the tot~l fee shall be paid upon completion and approval of Unit 1 ~lans.
The remaining pO% shall b~ paid upon the completion and approval of plans for Unit 11 (sur-
facing) ,
(e) In ?ase any,toli, br~dges are contemplated ,or constructed. on this highway nothing
in the proposal shall prevent the firm of Nagle, Witt, Rollins, and Gelchrist, from making,
vlith the consent of the Commissioners vo,Lbt, any arrangement or agreement for engineering or
,supervisory service \'Iith the person, Company or Syndicate planning such structures.
