Fourteen thousand dollars will be expended by the county and state on a fifty-fift- y basis in grading the road to standard specifications and surfacing with, six inches of gravel, preparatory to oiling next season.

An effort has been made for many months by Beaver county to eliminate contract work on local road projects, but it is only recently that the state road commission has acceded to their requests. While this is a small project, the revenue derived by local men for their work and use of their teams, will be a boom to them during the scarcity of employment at the present time. A good job of grading is done. Porcupine Damage on Beaver Slope The principal means of combat- the boxes. A very narrow box, of an Inch inside measure, and about four by seven Inches is built.
