in Road Building
North of Here Explained

A great deal Of dissatisfaction has
bean expressed. particularly by oil
men, over the Blowness with which
the work of paving the Salt Creek
highway has boon progressing. Fol-
lowing is given an explanation of
the numerous difficulties encounter
ed in this work, es taken from the
latest isEue News Letter OF tho
State Highway Department.
"F'. A., Project 1s-B-This project
consists of IS miles Of nine foot
pavement on the Salt Creek road,
route Il. While this work has not
been carried forward as fast as we
would have liked, = very good class
of work is being done. Although
progress has been slow, It has been
better than the average paving job
in this western country. There are
several causes for the slow progress.
Several contractors who agreed TO
furnish the Levy Construction COM
peny with gravel and sand were IN
able to fulfil their contract either
a. to the quantity or quality Of the

struction work being carried on in
the vicinity of Casper and on much
of this work It 10 not so absolutely
necessary to use perfectly clean
gravel and gravel properly graded
az It In on the Salt Creek road. The
fact that tho gravel contractors
were not abls to furnish the Levy
Construction company with clean
and properly graded gravel in as
large quantities as they had con
tracted to. is n Of the principal
contributing causes OF slow prog
rsss. Much rain in the spring and
delay in delivery of contractors
equipment caused some delay also.
lowing to the fact that the five
miles Of old pavement is being re-
paired by the Warren Construction
company Immediately north OF Cas-
per and the Levy construction work
IL strung out about six miles, de-
rtours have been necessary over a
distance Of about IL miles, and
owing TO the heavy traffic these
detours have been very rough and
slow travelling. Whenever there has
been rainfall the detours have been
dragged n long MS any moisture
remained In the ground but when
the moisture was gone practically
nothing could be done to relieve
the rough condition.
considerable difficulty has been
experienced by tho contractor in
keeping the travelling public off the
pavement long enough 10 get It
properly cured and covered with
