CAREY-REED CO. EXPLAINS

June IL, 1917.
Hon. C. X. oldham Mayor,
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
My dear sir:
We feel word of explanation is
due you and the Council of your
city because of unexpected delay in
completing the street contracts in
your city. The trouble we are now
experiencing is due entirely to the
shortage of cars in which to ship
materials. Our paving plant now at
Maysville has been shut down more
than one-half of the time for the
last two months, due to the above
cause. 1t is with this plant that
we must rely to finish the work at
Mt Sterling.
We are glad to advise, however,
that we have succeeded in getting
on the job practically all the mater
ial required to complete our Mays
vile work, and with favorable
weather conditions we expect to
finish in Maysville within the next
ten days, when we will move our
plant direct to your town. Our as
phalt in Mt. Sterling will require
fifteen car loads of graded stone,
although we have been trying for
the past two weeks or more to get
tkis material on the ground, we
have only three cars so far. The
Olive Hill stone is not hard enough
for the asphalt work, therefore We
must depend solely upon quarries
that are located on the Southern
Railway. The two largest quarries
in this part of the State located on
the above road are practically
closed down on account of not hav-
ing any ears to ship their product.
We are making every effort to get
the balance of the stone needed at
Mt. Sterling on the ground, so that
there will be no delay when we once
get our plant in your town. As
much as we regret the delay, we
want to assure you and your citi-
zens that it is not our fault, or
within our control.
We would thank you to advise the
public through your local news
paper, the substance of this delay.
Thanking you, we are,
Very truly yours,
CAREY REED COMPANY
