Che Casper Daily Cribune : ~AOAD BUILDING Reconstruction Program of State. ‘Highway Coramission Goes . | Forward Without Hitch in | All Sections ° | | CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 3.—Very rapid progress is being made in every section of the state by the state high- way department in the accomplishmeit of jts outlined reconstruction program, on practically all sections of the state highway system connecting the various Federal Aid projects, which are now under construction by contract. This reconstruction work is being done with 20-ton Holt caterpillar trac- tors, and heavy grading machine: each tractor being capable of compl ing from one to three miles of finishe? road per day depending on the local conditions of the roads being worked. The department now has seven of these mammoth tractors, which vere secured from the. war department thru the department of agriculture, late last » fall... Although ‘a. considerable * short- ge of these tractors, existed at the Aime distributivn was made, State High- way Superintendent D. $, McCulman was able to prevail upon the Bureau of Public Roads, which distributed | the tractors, to issue Wyoming seven of these machines on account of the lirse mileage to be covered. The reconstruction program, very materially reduces the annual main- tenance cost of the graded earth roads, as this operation throws up a substan- tal earth grade which erain very sat isfactory and. which is the importent factor of road’ censtruction and all re- construction is accomplished ony along the permanent surveyed lvsations for the various roads.
