Making Good Time on Road Contract in Carpenter Tp.

Gifford & Callahan, contractors on the Hunt stone road in Carpenter tp„ which starts one mile west of Remington and runs three miles north from the Remington-Goodland road, are making good time in the construction of same. Up to Monday they had worked about 16 days on this contract and had all of the grading done, the coarse, rock on two miles of the road and a part of the screenings on same. If the weather continues good and there is no delayin the shipments of rock, they will probably have the road entirely completed by about the middle of the present month. The stone on this road is being rolled right along everyday and there is to be four inches of screenings put on top of the coarse rock, instead of two inches, which has been customary in many of the late contracts.
