The State Roads Commission on
Thursday last awarded the contract fol-
building five and three quarter miles OF
macadam road between Marlboro anG
Meadows, to Mccormick, of PhiIadel-
pha, at $56,636 81. A request was made
by number of people from the county
for gravel roads in preference to stone
because the gravel would answer pur.
pose of the people, and give the coun.
ty additional mileage by lessening th<
cost. The contractors claim that in
submitting bids, they have made the
cost of the gravel only little less than
| cost of stone, as they say the suitable
gravel is Inaccessible as rule and
difficult to procure in such quantities as
to enable them to place it on the roads
