Contractor Frick has entered into a
bond with the township for $1,000 to
fulfill the agreement.
The railroad has also agreed to fill
in the thoroughfare from the eastern
end of the bridge over the Whippany
river to a point fifty feet beyond
where its track goes under the road.
This will make a five per cent. grade
on the hill.
Monday the road was blown up with
dynamite where the track goes un-
der it and a steam shovel cleared
away the rock and earth. The Lake
road Will be closed to traffic for
about three weeks.
The grading for the extension of the
railroad is well along towards COM
pletion and Engineer Frederick S.
Smith thinks that within three weeks
or month the work will be finished
The roadbed has been graded from
the Station at Watnong to the rail
road bridge over the river A large
share of the cut which will carry the
track under Lake road has been com
pleted, about two-thirds of the 10000
yards of excavation having been
made.
All of this work is being done with
the aid of dynamite. steam well
driver was first set to work drilling
holes, then the rock was blown away
and an eighty-ton steam shovel equip
ped with dipper of three cubic yards
capacity was put to work to clear
away the material. steam drill is
also in use.
All of the rock and earth has been
used to grade the roadbed including
a large area to accommodate several
switches The material from this
cut is also to be used to fill in the
thoroughfare narrow gauge rail-
way conveys the material lifted from
the cut by the steam shovel to the
roadbed and tracks have also been
laid parallel with Lake road to carry
the material to fill in that thorough
fare
In the old cut near Speedwell av-
enue, which was partly excavated
ten years ago when the Haines Broth
ers started the extension work but
failed to finish it, the steam well
driver has been set up and is drilling
holes for the dynamite charges. Both
the cuts are through rock The cut
near Speedwell avenue has about q
600 yards of rock and earth to be ex-
cavated from it.
Superintendent Mcdonald, who is
in charge of the work for Mr.. Frick,
has hit upon novel scheme to keep
the dynamite at a fit temperature for
using. To keep it from freezing two
small dug-outs have been constructed.
These are heated by steam p'ped
from the steam shovel and the well
driver and the receptacles are kept
at temperature of seventy degrees.
