The pouring of the slab near the mill pond bridge on Route 20 has been completed by the Ule company and probably nothing more will be done at the mill pond bridge this year. The work on Route 61 near Ringwood has progressed in fine shape and south of McHenry, also, the work is being pushed as fast as the weather will permit. Many of the culverts are already ib and the grading is being continued. A steam shovel will be used for some of the deeper grades, probably the deepest one of which will be about twenty feet in depth. A large elevator grader is now at work on the grading and excavating and it is possible with this big machine to remove 1,200 yards of filling a day. Kent A Co.--Cut out their ad.
