It is stated that one of the most difficult grades met with is at Rob- lin's hill on the outskirts of Napanee. | For years this hill has been consider- ed one of the most tedious on sthe| whole road, not only on account of | the steepness but also on account of | | the rough surface. It was impossible to keep any gravel on places as heavy | j rains would wash it down the hill. | Last winter the work of cutting this | solid rock bed was commenced and | | it is expected that it will be complet- ' ed next winter. In places the rock has | | be placed on top. At the present time, men are busy | | on the road very close to the Grand in oiling the portions of road which | which have been completed. Before | any oiling is done a drag is placed on | the road and all stones and dust re- | moved. | It is very interesting to watch the | work on the highway near Kingston. | Commencing at the junction of the Bath and Front roads, the work is | completed and the road will be oiled | and open to the public in the very | near future. Those who have driven | over the old roadway will remember | the high crown. On slippery days it | . | was very difficult to hive over it. | This crown has been greatly reduc-| ed.
