some federal-state projects have cost,
but this was built by private enter
prise, and every man on the job was
a loyal Vermonter and interested in
building just as good a road as pos
sible with the money raised.
1t is four miles long, so the cost
was a little over $4,000 a mile.
Some of the road had to be literally
blasted out of solid rock.
The material had to be made on
the spot as the cost of getting the
crushed stone up the mountain was
prohibitive.
