Commissioners viewed road south of Belleville and also met with citizens to discuss areas north and east of the community, said commissioner Larry Rundus. Garence Smith, former county engineer and a consulting engineer in Belleville, also met with commissioners to talk about recently occurring road problems. Commissioners said Smith attributed unusual weather conditions to much of the current road trouble. Smith said the early fall drought allowed roadbeds to dry out to an extreme extent, then recent slow rains saturated the beds and caused many to lose their firmness. Rundus said a period of dryness was now needed in order to allow county road crews to do any effective maintenance work on the roads.

"We to get some sand out, too," said Rundus. "I know there are a lot of roads in the area that need sand."
