PROGRESSING FINELY.
Work on Rockland Rookport Trunk
Line is Nearing Completion.

L. Hardison of Caribou has returned
from Rockland. where he went to in
spect the progress of the work upon
the state trunk line between Rock
land and Rockport, and also to look
over the proposed State road work
in the city of Roclland. He reports
that in spite of the warm weather
the work upon the trunk line is pro-
crossing finely and the bitumlnous
work will undoubtedly be completed
before the end OF the month. Consld-
cradle other work in the line of hnlsh-
ing touches and clearing up viii be
necessary before the job is completed
SO that il will be sometime in august
before it will be finally accepted by
the State
The stretch of road upon which
Rockland will do its State road work
this year is on Main street from the
South Thomaston line to the Maine
Central Railroad crossing. The ap-
preparation has not yet been made py
the city council as it has not yet
been determined whether the construc-
ton is TO be of gravel and limerick
chins or of bituminous maeadam
The general sentiment is in favor oil
the macadam construction, if an APP
preparation sufficiently large can De
secured for it.
Mr. Hardison was asked by Jour
nal reporter in regard to the success
of the application Of oil to the Rock
land streets, which has recently been
made. II believe that it is success
and helps to lay the dust on both the
pavement and the macadam roads. IL
helps even on the pavement, although
of course. the results are not so SANS
