looked the work over say that it will
make an excellent piece of road. The
work was done on the Small Point road
low George c. Pease's blacksmith shop
and a great deal of blasting had to be
done to get the proper width. 1t was very
narrow there, so narrow in fact that ii
was almost impossible for two teams TO
pass. The rock which was taken out OF
the west side of the road was carried
across and used to build wall along the
shore of the pond. Rock and clay were
used for filling on the road and then the
top was covered with a thick layer OF
gravel which was hauled by William h.
Bowker, who has one of the best gravel
beds in town This made an excellent
surface on good foundation and next
spring when the heavy travel begins driv-
