Creen and spent the day looking over the proposed route and making preliminary plans for starting work. "A carload of lumber and other materials were received at the station sta-tion last Saturday," continued Mr. Reynolds. "This lumber will be used for form structures and just as soon as arrangements can be made it will be hauled to convenient places, and when our working crews arrive steps will be taken to start making the necessary nec-essary forms. The laying of the concrete con-crete at Ft. Green was begun Monday Mon-day of this week. It will require some thirty days to complete this job and then our entire equipment will be jnoved to Gunnison.

When the matter of building the road leading to the sugar factory first was prosposed, Mr. Reynolds stated that it would be the policy of the contractors to worx in harmony with the farmers and that everything would be done to have the gravel road completed, if possible, before beet harvesting and hauling began. |
