BENNINGTON, Vr.—Work was begun on a bituminous concrete road extending 
east from Opera Hall toward Woodford on the main street on August 18, 1913, 
and completed on September 1, 1918. One day was lost on account of bad 
weather. The adjacent land is level. 
The surfacing was placed on an old macadam road, which was torn up, 
reshaped, and rolled. The average haul from the siding to the road was 1 
mile. The bituminous concrete was spread cold by stone hooks and rakes over 
an area of 4,851 square yards. This was laid in two courses, respectively 33
