The Hartford Pike.

1t will take fully two weeks longer TO
complete the grading on Hartford Pike,
and then the job wont be done. 1t has
been found that the $500 appropriated
for the purpose will not be adequate to
finish the grading and at least $500 more
will be needed. This cannot be raised
till the May, or financial meeting, and the
contractor will leave the road in as good
shape as possible and await the action of
the voters in the spring.
