WORK PROGRESSING
ON State HIGHWAY

Fiss d Hartman, of Shamokin Dam,
who have the contract for construct
ing the new State Highway in Valley
township, are making excellent prog
ress with the work and expect to
have the highway completed in Sept
ember.
The contractors have purchased "a de
posit of limestone from the Bennett
estate, which is conveniently situated
and on this spot have Installed their
own stone Grusher. They have twenty
five men employed and are finishing
up the highway at the rate of one
hundred feet u day They have been
much delayed by rainy weather and
the whole distance completed does not
exceed five hundred feet. Nevertheless
this is considered excellent progress
and leaves no doubt but that even
with extra work contemplated they
will be off the ground before the end
of next month. The plan adopted by
Fiss q Hartman of completing the
road as they 20 is much appreciated
by the travelling public, as it makes
driving much easier than where the
road under reconstruction is torn up
from end to end at the same time. As
Fiss & Hartman are working the pub

pink of perfection and the old road

er on the spot and are keeping it con
stantly employed.
The highway under reconstruction
embraces little over 5000 feet. TC
this an additional section of some five
hundred feet will in all probability be
added. The section under construc
tion does not reach to the water
trough" at Wise's hotel within abou
a.hundred feet. The proposition is t
reconstruct the highway in the fork
of the two roads, covering the widen
ed area up to the water trough and re
building short distance furthe
along the Milton and the Washington
Vile roads.
The County Commissioners have al
ready sent in the necessary petition {

Valley township asking for the i'm

ness, energy, vigor, vitality-all are
lost and condition of mental and
