LA900I ROAD WORK
PROGRESSING DULY
Another milepost was reached
in the Lagoon road construction
Thursday at noon when city
trucks completed enough filling
to enable them to drive over the
entire stretch. The filling was
made necessary owing to the dif
ficulty experienced in making the
mud pile up on a part of the road
way. Although the road is as yet
a little narrow in some places, the
city trucks, two of them, are daily
widening and filling in these
places at the rate of about 40
loads a day The trucks are load
ed by a drag-line bucket outfit in
the gravels thrown up by the
dredge from Seward’s recent
dredging operations.
The northern section of the cut
off is in excellent shape and it
will not be long before the entire
road will be able to allow the pas
sage of autos. City truck drivers
rejoiced at the new stage which
the road has reached as they do
not have to back up when they
take a load to the road but just
drive over the Lagoon road and
come back via the Chamberlin
Hill route.
Motorists are warned not to use
the road as yet as they may ven
ture out on the roadway and
find their progress blocked by
construction work. This was the
case of one motorist last night
when he attempted to take ad
vantage of the new road and
found that he had to put his auto
in reverse and go all the way
back because to go forward he
would have had to shovel about
two loads of dirt out of the way
to continue.
