COUNTY PAVING
SPEED DOUBLES
FIRST PROJECT
Half Mile On Smithville
Road Already Is
Complete

A half mile of the new paving now
being laid on the Smithville section
of the Dixie Highway has already
been completed. County Engineer
Ansley announces Had not rain
interfered Wednesday night three
fourths of mile gwould have been
finished by Saturday night, he says.
The project embraces FIVE or more
miles, but the paving is being laid in
sections, starting at the Hansford
farm, two miles out, for the first
section and being laid toward the
city limits. This will include the
two steepest hills on the project, and
will provide a good surface for
hauling material for the work to be
done beyond.
''We are making a record on this
project" said Engineer Ansley, "as
compared with the first project east
of Amer;cus. We are cutting the
time consumed in paving in half be
cause we had our equipment and or
ganization ready at the beginning of
this job, whereas we had to begin
from the first on the previous job.
For instance, last year we were un-
able to get our equipment for un-
loading stone until July, having to

On this second job we have been
able to make time because we were

that if we are able to complete the

WASHINGTON, May t2.-Ger-
