Work on the rebuilding of the 
highway from’ George A. Priest 
school to the Beverly line is being 
pushed along daily. The entire lengt1 
of the road from the corner of Bridge, 
Pine and Central streets is torn up by 
the workmen engaged in reconstruc- 
tion. The highway is blocked from 
the corner westward as far as the 
point where Bridge and Bennett sts. 
meet. Beyond that point the highway 
is passable for a space wide enough 
for one vehicle to pass at a time. 
Traffic is diverted by way of Bennett 
st. At the corner of Bridge, Pine 
and Central streets the work of in-. 
stalling the granite crubstones was in 
progress yesterday. Practically all 
of the drains have been built or are 
under way, and in a few days it is 
expected work can be started on the 
the re-surfacing. About 60 men are 
employed at present on the job. Most 
of the road contractors in this vicinity 
have been hindered to some extent by 
labor troubles, but so far A. G. Tom- 
asello & Son, who have the Manches- 
ter contract, have not been bothered 
to any great extent. Last Monday 
three or four of the men asked for 
more pay and it was granted them 
without argument.
