TOTTENVILLE, June 17:-The
work of rebuilding Arthur Kill road
from Tottenville to Richmond is go
ing ahead as rapidly as possible. The
steam digger for Joseph Johnson &
Sons of West New Brighton, who

ton from Tottenville to Kreischer-
vile, has reached that part of the
road between Johnson avenue and
Yetman avenue and is steadily work.
ing toward Main street. The steam
roller with the pillow attachment is
on the last stretch between Main
street and Bentley street and has
the roadway well torn up for the
digger to begin operation. The work
of concreting is being rushed and
the concrete mixer is near Richmond
Valley road and it will probably be
across the Mill bridge before next
week.
The other three sections are being
pushed and the concreting is we'll
advanced in all directions. The Will
liam P. Mcdonald Construction
Company, which has contracts No. 2
and 3 from Kreischerville to Green

ment, thirty feet wide. and eight

which is being taken up, will be used
for under draining at the places

ing macadam wings two feet on each
side of the new pavement.
On steep grades where storm
water cause damage concrete gut
tiers are being built and at all sharp
curves the pavement is being widen
ed on the outside. When completed
It is said this will be one of the
finest roads in the state.
Another contract has been made

Richmond to New Dorp to connect
with Amboy road, a distance of two
miles. The aggregate cost of the
construction for the road from Tot
tenville for the four contracts is
s711.934.5 The contract for the
other road is in the neighborhood of
500, 600.
