Concrete Poured
on New Lititz Pike
Work Started Near Brethren
Home; Grading On Lititz to
Neffsville Link Finished
A long dreamed-of thing for Lititz
took definite shape this week with
the pouring of concrete on the new
Lititz-Lancaster Pike yesterday. The
cement work was started at the knoll
just this side of the Brethren Home
at Neffsville and work will proceed
toward this place.
A constant stream of trucks are
running from the unloading station
at the freight station here, where the
giant stone and sand mixer is located,
to the men working on the road, car-rying
sand, cement, stone and other
material.
Grading of the road from here to
Neffsville is completed and the men
of the Graham Construction Co. are
now at work on the grading of the
link between Neffsville and Lancas-ter.
The pouring of cement is one of the
fastest operations of the road work
as it is estimated that between 600
and 800 feet of cement will be laid
daily or nearly one mile per week.
If the grading to Lancaster goes along
in good1 time, engineers of the com-pany
figure on having the road open
clear through to Lancaster by the
first of July.
