The work was begun at Bitz"9 Hill, about u mile south of Acker¬ maiiville and will lie continued on to lielfast where the grading is already flnished. In the niean- tinu', the grading of the stretch from BItz's Hill into Bangor will he (ontinued and that part will be concreted after the present stretch Is finished.

GIIL DIES AFTER BQNG HIT BY iUnV
.Miss Catherine Werkheiser* aged lli years, daughter of Pblltp Werkheiser of Stockertown, ona of the most popular girls in that community and a member of tho sophomore class of Nasaretb Hish .School, was fatally injured at 7.10 o'clock Friday night when she waa struck aud knocked down by an automobile driven by Clarenee Shuman of Nazareth.
The accident occurred at the In¬ tersection of the Tatamy road and the .Muln street of Nasaretb at tha blinker which is used (or aeaSSa direction at that dangerous point.
Mr. Shuman had bad bis auto¬ mobile parked in front of tbe raot- dence of William Johnson, two doors east o( Taylor's store oa tha north side of the main atraat, Stockertown. Miss Werkholaar, accompanied by Mrs. Anna Scheetz, housekeeper at the Werk¬ heiser bome since the death of the girl's mother, several years ago. were on the southwest corner of the Intersection and started to cross east, to go to Newhart's store. They saw a car comias along on the Tatamy road and were watching it.
At tbe time -they atarted to cross, Shuman started from in front of the Johnson home and made a left turn to go toward the Nazaretb road. His wladahleld wiper had not had a chaaee to clear his windshield of the water deposited there by the drlaale which was In progress and he could not see the two wonsea. They had an umbrella raised and this Interfered with their viaion, and the flrst thing either of the parties knew of the proximltjr of the other waa when the auto struck the two womea nnS knocked them both down. Neither was rendered unconseieas. Mm. Scheeti wss able to get np !¦- mediately. She suffered mleor braises and abraalona of the toft elbow. Misa Werkheiser waa picked up and carried te the aMea of Dr. J. A. Petherolf, onlf • tear stepa away. She eomplalnai St pain in her lege aad hand. tSeer- mar. tbe ^yaktos aasM IM «• traces of eztemal injuriaak Ma directed that the girl ba taken home snd hot appllcatloas anUeO. Thia wss done but In abenc aa hour she passed away. No tftacno^ sis aa to the cause of death aaa "he made unlca aa autopajr la per¬ formed and It Is not bellavad thet this will be doae. It U thought thst her death resulted either from an internal hemorrhage or aheek. It Is not deflnitely known If a wheeb of. the auto passed over her but some witnesses claim It did.
Shuman said he had his aato under perfect control when the ac¬ cident occurred. He was raaaiag in second gear and brought the car to a stop within a dlstaaee of about 6 feet.
Immediately after the death of Miss Werkheiser. Deputy Coroner Dr. F. J. Kessler of Eaaton wa.< notifled and conducted an inveetl¬ gatlon. Shuman is at liberty on his own recognizance to appear at nr inquest to be held some time this weel<.
