KEYPORT, June 2S:-Work on
improvement Of the corner Of Broad
and Front streets was started this
week and is progressing favorably. In
order to make the turning point at
this corner safer for the heavy auto
traffic the corners were rounded last
week and the curbing reset. 1t is now
planned to lay a block of cement
which will reach from corner to cor
ner and which will adjoin the cement
roadway on Broad street
This will be a decided improve
ment at this point and will also be a
greater safeguard to traffic.
