The street improvement project in Caldwell is rapidly com
ing to a close. Many streets and alleys have been surfaced and
treated for winter. The one road which is pictured being im
proved and sorely in need of repair is the lower section of Cliff
road which joins with USR 21.

made driving practically impossible. Pictured are Earl Harris,
Marietta contractor, and George Kelli, helper from Chesterhill,
spreading the bituminous treatment T-31 on that road. Previous
ly, only tar and slag was applied to the road which proved very

21.
Observing the road improvement job is Joe Archer, who
lives in the immediate vicinity. Archer stated that he thinks
this treatment will provide better traveling for the motorists
who use Cliff road.
