“ He considered that the roadway WAS PART OF THE SCHEME. HE DIRECTED AND superintended its constructIon. and it was a systematic structure, not a mere dumping place or deposit for material. It was constructed upon lines, slopes, and grades, and of selected materials.

There is nothing which reflects upon the sincerity of his judgment, and it is necessarily the important factor in determining the responsibility of the government. ”
