Road Building Trucks for Ascension


Leon Newman, the efficient presi-
dent of the police jury, recently
made application to the war depart
ment for the loan of two of the big
motor road trucks used by the federal
government in building highways
during the war. Since the close OF
the war the government has no use
for these trucks and is giving them
out for use in building highways
which are under federal control.
The jefferson highway which passes
on the opposite side Of the river is
federal road and the machines arc
therefore available for use in this
parish under the governments term,
Mr.. Newman's application has been
granted by the war department and
the trucks will arrive here in few
days. .ls
