started pouring con-
crete last Friday, and good pro
n gresss is reported. The base of
for. this project is
ofatwo miles of the contracted
road on the Fairmont side of
and three miles on
the Morgantown side.

willie, spanning Big Indian Creek,
.ltas been completed. Practically
IIHof#the8culverts. and other ma
8sonrysswork have been completed
along the route, leaving only
small bridge across Little Indian
$Creek$to be built.
Cisler & Morse also have the
EastonePoint Marion project and
Sare2making much better progress
Il IN til at work than on the Fair
nt-NTorgantown pike project.
sPracti cally all of the grading has
been between the two
points and the concrete work is
progressing satisfactorily:
I IT. is practically certain, it is
stated tn at the connecting road
between M organtown and Point
Marion wil Ii ~ be completed this
summer asswell as the road be-
tween sMorgantown and Cheat
River. However, there is a pos
sfbiity that Cisler5 & Morse will
between organtown and Fair
mont through the fact that the
two contracts there, together with
ithe6Point Marion contract, are con-
ssidered more than can be finished
IN one season. Every effort will
put forth. however, to finish 1t
possible, it has been stated.
AS an incentive to finish the
sFsairmont-Shinnsto project as
sear1ysas possible the local Cham-
Der Of CONNIE has offered
bonus Of 500 to Paul Horner,
on the job, providing
siMs@can complete the road between
#fheFtw,o places by July l. Reports
afromSthe swork are to the effect
Hiatt tbs not yet completed but
there is a strong possibility that

sspeciied.
Three concrete mixtures are be-
the work in Harrison
5County$to o connect up with Clarks-
and the result is that about
500 @feet of concrete are being
poured each day. This gives
foundation to the belief that the
entire stretch between Clarksburg
and Fairmont will be completed
gby@f fall, leaving the only dou bttul
section in the entire route from
gCIarksburgS to Point Marion in the
"A ands@of .Cisler & Morse between
