No. 3,010 CONTRACT LET FOR STUART ROAD Hard Surfacing; of Highway To Stokes Line Will Be Started Soon—Contractor Will Re ceive $79,322.40.

Martin Company, of Salem, Va., were the low bun ders, their figures being $79,- 322.40 for the nine mile* of ! road, and work will be started within a few weeks, it is stated. Infact engineer* have already started the work of setting stakes for the contractor to work by. It is also stated that work will begin on the North Carolina end of the road. The type of road to be con structed is known as macadam, which is being used in Virginia to a great extent. In construct ing this type of roaJ crushed stone is spread over the bed of the road six or eight inches deep and, after being smooth ed and rolled, tar and fine grav el or sand »« used to give it a smooth service and to bind the stone together, making a road that--is next to concrete in durability and smoothness.
