HIGHWAY WORK
Stone and Gravel Roads in
Good Condition, but
Somewhat Dusty,

The f1r1e weather mas speede0 up
State road work and much pave
ment has been laid in the last few
days, John D. Williams, highway
director announced today.
The pavement must "cure," how
ever, in most cases for twenty-one
days, before it can be opened to
traffic. Stone and gravel roads are
in good condition, although extreme
ly dusty, according to the highway
bulletin.
It may be possible to open some
pavement on U. S. Road 81 between
Fountain City and Winchester in
a few days, materially shortening
a nineteen detour, the bulle-
tin said.
A nine mile detour on U. S. Road
20 between Knox and Bass Lake,
and a bridge around on U. S.
Road Al, two miles north of Kent
land were lifted in the last week.
