A gang of Iaborers who have been
.orking under the direction of Contrac-
Or James +. eastman of Burlington
'r several months have completed the
BIC complement of the stripping job at
ones Bros quarries in Webstervile. the
,rly advent of winter having compelled
lem to abandon temporarily a project
rat was to have continued as long as
Gather conditions were suitable. Equip
ent used on the job has been stored in
baskerville for the winter and there is
,ery indication that the stripping will
, continued in the. spring, as the re-
Hts thus far have been altogether graft
ing to the quarrying company. When
lie first section of the job was completed =
rly in the summer the results were so
tisfactory that the work was continued
i'd now it is certain that an area of
larry land much larger than was con- :,
mplated in the original contract will be a :,
ripped in the spring. 81 81
