Road Commissioner David T. Perry will
begin next week to grade the Vernon
road in preparation for making it a par
of the big trunk line through BratteborC
outlined by State Highway COMMISSIONS
c. w. Gates in the recent road commits
SOners' meeting in BrattleorO The plaI
suggested by Mr.. Gates is not to spent
a large amount of money on shor
stretches of macadam road, but to spenC
what is available in reducing grades ant
curves so that the road will be in con
dition to receive a more expensive sur
face when the proper time comes. Mr.
Perry plans to put a gravel surface OF
most of the stretches on which worl
will be done, and he believes that grea
improvement can be made. Whereve
gravel Is laid 1t will be laid in courses
and each course will be rolled with tn,
steam roller. This will pack it down int
fine road that will withstand the wea
for many years with only a small amour
of repairing. Mr.. Perry will put on abou
half dozen teams and a good-sized ganl
of men. He has had profile OF the roaC
made, and the grades which he will es
tablish are as good as though the road
was to cost 10 times as much per mile
He believes that If this kind of work car
go on a few years the trunk line high
way will be established. A similar worI
will be done in Vernon this year.
