conundrum last week, efficiently
solved by Robert Moore, one of Els

The State highway commission has
ordered work to continue on the
Ellsworth Harbor road this fall,
in anticipation of extending the con-
crete road to the bridge in the
spring. The work now to be done is
the laying of the gravel base for con-
crete work, beginning at the Trenton
end of the concrete road completed
this year, 1t is expected that about
one and one-half or two miles of the
gravel base can be laid this fall.
The contract for continuing the con-
crete work will doubtless be put out
for bids during the winter, and the
gravel base now laid will facilitate
the beginning of concrete work in
the early spring.
