HAMILTON AVE-
PAVING JOB is
UNDERWAY HERE
New Haven Road c O n
struCtiOn Co. Started
Work Yesterday

Paving of Hamilton ave-
nue. - which will mean a
newly-surfaced approach to
the Prospect-New Haven
highway - has been begun.
The work was started yester-
day by the New Haven
Road Construction Company,
which was awarded the con-
tract by the city. The con-
tract was awarded on a bid of
$99,613. 1t is hoped to have
the new roadway completed by late
fall.
The street is to be paved from
Bridge street to Harpers Ferry Road.
When the work is completed, police
are hopeful that Hamilton avenue
will draw much of the ordinary East
Main street traffic, thereby reduce
ing the congestion on that thor
oughfare.
Start of the paving work was held
up because of the delay in the
award of the contract. The delay
was caused when 1t was discovered
that approval of the contract must
first be given by the city plan COM
mission, which at the time had not
even been organized.

Wholesale Commodity
Average Is Unchanged

There was no change in the gen.
eral level of commodity prices in
the week ended June II, according
to the wholesale price index COM
piled by the National Fertilizer As
ISOLATION.
This index last week remained at
71.6 per cent of the l926-1928 aver
age, the same as in the preceding
week. This is the lowest level record
ed by the index since 1894. The
index was 72.4 a month ago, 74.5 a
year ago and 86.4 two years ago.
A slight increase was registered by
the food group index. following de-
clines in recent weeks. The farm
product average was also slightly
higher with rising quotations for live
stock more than ofsetting declines in
grains and cotton. A fractional up
turn in the metal price index was
caused by higher prices for steel
scrap, tin and lead.
In spite of increases in certain
cotton fabrics, wool and burlap, the
textile average turned downward,
due in part to reversal in the up
ward trend in silk prices. Lower
quotations for anthracite coal were
responsible for the drop in the fuel
index.
