Plans Completed
For Relocating
Highway Route Il
Plans Have Now
Been Sent Forward
To State Office

Grover Smith, resident en-
gineer, whose offices are in the
new state highway garage, south
| of Caldwell, has announced that
within the last week, final plans
for the relocation of u. S. Route
Il have been sent to Columbus.
The latest word from the Mari
eta office of the state highway
department is that the project
will probably be taken up at the
February sales, as there are no
sales scheduled for January.
Some property owners refuse
to sell their property, which
stands on the proposed right of
way, but aside from this, the
actual undertaking is only a mat
ter of time.
U. S. Route 81, from the Wayne
Davis property, south of Cald-
we'll to South Olive, will be a
straight, level stretch, when the
project is completed. This will
eliminate the bridges at Dudley
and the second bridge, south of
| Caldwell. The route planned for
the new highway will be to the
left of the present right of way,
most of the way, when travelling
south. 1t will also avoid Duck
Creek and the railroad, to a
certain extent. All in all, if the
plans are completed and carried
out, this relocation will fill a
much needed improvement on
the national highway.
J. E. Douglass, superintendent
of state highway in the county
revealed that the sudden snow
fall, Tuesday morning was the
most treacherous this winter, in
! that it was such a damp snow,
falling on frozen ground and
dry highway.
Whenever the state crews are
not kept busy, combating the
snow and ice, they are cleaning
right of way and patching traffic
bound roads. These roads also
require constant dragging and
maintaining during the winter
months. Requisitions for patching
and surfacing materials for all
the traffic bound roads in the
county have been made.
Stag has arrived from the
Standard Stag Co., in Steuben-
vile for the patching and resur-
facing of State Routes 2l5 and
STA.
Friday, pile-driving was COM
pleted on State Route las, near
the Monroe county line, where
land-slides had become hazard
to traffic.

The merchantable volume is in
the vicinity of SIS board feet. If
this tree is allowed to grow for
another 10 years it will have just
about double that volume, or in
the vicinity of ITO board feet. At
age 100 the tree will have ap-
proximately five times the mer-
chantable volume that it had at

five times as much in 40 years
as it did during the first go years.

which was added earlier In the
