proper supervision the work will
not be carried forth in the proper
manner unless the employees Of
the State Highway Department
have the knowledge to execute
properly their part Of the pro-
gram.
Before starting any new con-
tract, the division engineer will
call in the contractor or his super
intendent, together with the divis-
ion construction engineer and the
inspector who is going to be in
charge of the project, to discuss
with the contractor, his plan for
execution of the contract
They should set up a time table
for the construction Of the various
items of the contract. They should
discuss the amount and type of
equipment that is to be used in
doing the work. They should dis
cuss the operators who will be
used for the operation Of the equip
ment. They should also discuss the
number Of employees necessary to
carry forth the construction of the
various items.
There are many reasons for do
ing the construction as fast as pos
sible. One Of the chief reasons is
to improve the flow of traffic
through our highways. While the
construction is going on the traffic
is handicapped to a certain degree
by travelling in one way lanes,
around barricades, and through de-
tours.
I'm order 20 give our public the
best and safest travelling condi-
tons we will try. in the future, to
complete all Of our contracts be-
fore the completion date. Good
supervision from both the State
Highway Department and the con-
Tractor, plus good equipment and
a sufficient amount of materials
should give US the progress we de-
SIRE"
Among the other speakers at this
session of the school were Robert

mate engineer for the department,
who discussed preparation of esti-
mates and records.

son, division engineer for New
Castle County, reviewed the plac-
ing Of perforated corrugated metal

ed by Robert Wetherall, Assistant

MAY DREDGE NEW

TEL AVN, (JTA) - A special
channel may be dredged in the
Kishon River Estuary for the
mooring of the new floating dry
dock which arrived at Haifa last
week after a 5,000-mile journey
from the North Sea port of Lue-
beck.
The dock, valued about $2,OOO,-

German PREPARATIONS payment. 1t
will be manned by 70 workers,
most of them recent immigrants
from Tunis who are presently
working at other dock jobs. At its
temporary mooring place, the
floating drydock has displaced
three vessels formerly tied up
there. The dock, expected to be
in operation by next September,
will be able to do repair and
maintenance work on vessels in
the 10000 ton class.

Miss Carson repeatedly was a
breathtaking red-haired vision

impact on the black-and-white

Carson turned out to be some
thing of a rarity-a glamour
