To further relieve the strain which

SLOW PROGRESS ON
PENNY HILL WORK

Completion OF the Penny Hill section
Of the philadelphia turnpike before
winter is extremely doubtful, and II
seems certain that the road will be
closed to all traffic during the winter.
About eight men were engaged in re-
ducing the grade on Penny Hill yes
terday. This Is done by digging of the
top surface on the hill and cartlng II
to the foot, where it is used to raise
the grade. At the point where the
granite bed is being drilled and blast
ed out there is a hole possibly eight
foot deep. The quality C the task is
easily understood by a glance at the
solid rock, hard almost as steel and
without a flaw in n. Al indica-
tlons point to the road being closed
during the entire winter.
There is yet a vast bulk Of rock and
dirt to be removed and many hundreds
OF cubic yards will be needed to make
the MI which extends along the front
OF Shellpot Park grounds.
