new RECORD MADE
BY PAVING CREWS
ON SOUTH SECTION

Anew paving record was established
Fridav by the south paving crew. when
total Of 5l4 feet Of concrete paving
was laid in one day. This total would
doubtless have been much larger had
not delay Of one hour and half been
caused by failure OF materials to ar
rive.
This j. the first time that more
than 500 feet Of paving has been laid
in one day on this end OF the highway. A
record of 55l feet was made on the
north end on April %. Both paving
crews are working 20 reach the 500 foot
standard and maintain il regularly.
Figures given out Saturday on the
highway show that a little over two
miles Of concrete has been poured on
the south project. while the workers
on the north end are rapidly approach
ing the one mile mark. Work is pro
crossing more rapidly now than il has
been. as the paving crews are more
adept at the work.
No more paving has been opened up.
but the one month Of seasoning on the
new construction out from Brownsville
will soon be up. and some more paving
will be opened for traffic. At present II
is necessary to make several detours
of considerable length between Browns
willie and San Benito. although the de-
tour roads are in good condition.
The record made bv the paving crew
on the south end Friday was the best
record for any one day during the week.
and in accordance with the announce
ment made last Sunday the Herald will
supply tho south end paving crew with
box OF cigars.
