ATTRACTINO THE ATTENTION of many Clifton
resident* ia the sight of the “white mountain of
rock” north of town just off Highway 6 on the L. C.
Schumacher farm property. As seen in the picture
above, the crushed rock has the appearance of a
snow bank, but such is certainly not the case in the
dry, hot weather of the past month.
It hat been reported to the Record that about
one-half of the needed rock for rebuilding Highway
between Clifton and Meridian has been run
through the rock crusher, which can be seen in
part ln the picture above. The rock crusher, owned
by one of the contractors, Fred Hall and Sons, in
use on this job is said to have a value of around half
• million dollar*.
T. H. Ralph, resident engineer of the Highway
Department,- estimates that about 245,000 ton* of
crushed rock will be used in rebuilding the base on
this highway project
Work has not started on the base as yet, as suf-
ficient water ia not available from the river to handle
watering down the base—from 200,000 to 400,000
gallons of water a day will be needed when the
base work is started.
The tow bid for this reconstruction and improve-
ment project*was $583,827.10; contractors are Fred
Hall A Sons of Valley Mills and Young Brothers, Inc.,
of Waco; John Hood Garner of Belton is a sub
contractor on the job.
