Military Highway Work Progressing
Three Miles Completed From Stoddars Wharf Southerly- Starting Now to Work Southery From State Hospital 20 Cuverts Have Been PIaced-An Curves Banked 125 Men Are in Contractors Employ.

Work on the Military Highway from the submarine base to this city is be- ing rushed at.top notch speed and the contracting company, Frank Arrigoni &c Bro, of Middletown, have completed three miles of highway since the first of May. when the first ground was broken. The completed stretch of highway runs southerly from Stod- dard's wharf to a point about a mile north of Gales Ferry and is one of the finest pieces of macadam road in the state.
 In putting in this piece of roadway, which Contractor Frank Arrigoni, who
 is in charge of the work. says was one of the toughest jobs he ever struck
 in his 20 years of road building, the
 men had to cut through solid rock in many places and cut down timber in
 the widening process. The hills have
 been graded and in some places have
 been cut down 10 to 15 feet. The road
 is 28 feet wide, with every curve
 banked to insure safety to traffic in
 passing. With the curves banked a car can round them at 50 miles an
 hour without danger of overturning, as was shown Tuesday afternoon by MT. Arrigoni.
 Already three tons of dynamite have been used in blasting out the road way and in getting out rock for the | roadbed and top dressing. Th& crush ed stone used is taken from two 1 places. one crusher being located near the camp at Stoddard's wharf and the other at the Lewis farm just this side l Of Gales Ferry. The crusher at the | camp is one of the larger types and ] is worked steadily every day, turning l o>>t many tons of crushed stone in foul 1 graG2s. At this crusher the stone is l taken from a large ledge where mer work With air drills and dynamite ir blasting out the rock The other 1 crusher is engaged in grinding LII 1 stone from the roadway In the three miles of completed roadway and the l part now under construction 20 corru-

gated iron culverts have been put in and four stone culverts have been built
 The parts now under construction extend for about half a mile north of the completed part and from the drawbridge to the Norwich state hos pital The work on the part from the hospital to the drawbridge has only recently been started and tbe work or excayating is under way. The road is scraped down level and widened and in many places bad curves are elim- mated, In widening this piece of road it has been necessary to cut down many of the large pine trees that have stood by the roadside for the past 50 years.
 The contracting company has about 125 men at work and they are quar- tered in shacks near Stoddard's wharf. There are three large sha cks for quar l ters and one cook shack and dining hall. There are also shed and stables | for the horses.
 The equipment used in the construc- | tion work includes three steam rollers | two stone crushers, one steam shovel l Is pairs of horses. four f1ve-ton auto CTS, wagons and other smaller imple- ments such as air drills, steam drill; and road making tools. Mr. Arrigoni stated that the worst piece of the construction was done ant
 that now the work would progress
 with even greater speed as the country
 through which the road is to run i!
 much easier to work and requires little
 or no blasting. It is expected tha
 the whole highway will be completed before the snow flies.
 When this highway is completed i
 will be one of the best pieces of roat in Connecticut and not only that bu
 will be one of the prettiest ride
 found anywhere in the state The roat
 runs through wooded land and alon,
 the river bank, furnishing cool ant scenic trip.
