Good Job Finished on Canal
Street by Commissioner
Wallace
WILL BE DURABLE
IF TREATED RIGHT
Cannot Be Soaked Continually as Other
Streets Are and Last = Cost Comes
Within Estimate = Will Be Coated
with Tarvia and Sand.

The bituminous macadam road on Ca
nal street from Birge street to Elm is
practically complete and has been open
two days to travel, The unanimous opin-
ION of those who have seen it and those
who travel frequently over it is one of
sincere appreciation of a good Job and
one that promises to be lasting
Road Commissioner A. A. Wallace un.
der whose direction the road was con
structed, SAYS that it will be lasting if
properly treated It cannot be soaked
continually with water as are most of the
streets OF the village all of the time, or
1t will be in a few months in the same
condition that Main street is all of the
time
He says that the road must be left as
It IS for a short time in order to work"
under the influence of nature Later he
will put on light coating Of tarvia B
and cover that with fine screened sand
and watering viii not be a necessity The
taTvia treatment and sand will be re-
| peated once or twice in season as re-
quired, and with that treatment the

stretch of highway worth while, will not
| be wasted in a few months as it viii be
| if otherwise treated.

the street should be given and that il

Mr. Wallace is pleased that the work
did not cost even the full estimate given
the seectmen before it was started 1t
was estimated that the cost would be
from s., 500 to $1,000, and he figured to-
day that the approximate cost would be
s. 800.
