be sold this year.
The contract, which calls
for a major improvement of
Route 81 from the State High
way garage south of here to
South Olive, will probably be let
in Columbus on March 30. At
least that tentative date has
been set.
The major project is for
distance of six miles and calls
for the relocation of the high
way over about 80 percent of
the contract. 1t has been estimat-
ed that the improvement will
cost $1,100,000.
1t is the only major improve
ment slated for 1854 in the en-
tire 18th district and from all
indications the only major inn
provement slated for-U. S. Route
81 in Ohio, judging from the
above statement released by
Director Linzell.
The new road, beginning one
mile south of Caldwell, will be
located east of the Pennsylvania
railroad for the entire distance.
1t will eliminate two railroad
crossings and four narrow
bridges, two of which are one
way.
The pavement will be rein
forced with concrete "a feet in
width with a ten foot BERN on
each side.
This will provide a smooth
and straight highway from Cald-

to local department officials.
