Contract Has Been Awarded for Im-
 provements on Important Road.


 Those having occasion to use what is known as Logger Hill road between New London and Mantle will shortly have reason to rise up and call the state highway department blessed. The contract has been let for cutting a new roadway through the stone ledge at this point. which will result in eliminating some distance and what is vastly more important. materially reducing the grade At the present time the road at Logger hill is in the form of letter g and so steep that it's grade is described as similar to the side of house.
 Automobiles have found 1t practi- cally impossible without great dis comfort and have been forced to go the longest way round in getting to Mantle. Announcement of the letting of the contract was made Friday and it is stated that work will begin inn mediately.
 Friday morning Division Engineer c. A Campbell of this city of the state highway department made an inspection of the highway. Ex-Sen- ator Mineh accompanied him over the road, the trip being made in the lat ter's automobile. The point at which the alteration in grade and roadbed will be made is just beyond Jordan village in the town of Waterford. A portion of the expense of feconstruc- tion will be borne by that town.
