Surface Gravel Gone
Says Highway Head

Surface and stream gravel is almost
a thing of the past in Wayne county
according to Road Superintendent
Jones.
That is the reason the county com.
mission tomorrow will let a contract
for q new gravel dredge and engine
The commission last summer bought
q secondhand dredge for $432. With
It the road department lifted $4,000
yards of gravel and more than paid
for it during the season.
Superintendent Jones found it un-
wieldy and too slow for general use
so he advised purchase of new
dredge. The old dredge was sold for
nearly one-haf of what it cost the
county.
