The town of Sanford has stone
crusher and is building section of
State road of the crushed stone. In
one place it will be necessary to fill a
gulley to the depth of IS feet. The
Sanford Tribune says that if the stone
walls hold out this will not take long.
The method of construction is as fol-
lows: Eight inches of crushed stone
in the center tapers to feather edge
at the cutters and makes road that
will not only drain easily but will retain
its shape. After the crushed stone has
been put layer of about inches OF
gravel is put on and rolled with the
steam roller. Another layer will also
be put on a little later in the season.
The road is to be 16 feet wide with 3
feet cutters on each side, and the San
ford Tribune says, sit looks as though
this years road will be even better than
that built last year and that gave entire
satisfaction" The Tribune says moth
