The rumble of wagons is no
longer an unfamiliar sound
in LaCoste because teams and
wagons have been kept busy
hauling gravel here for the past
two weeks.
Load after load yas pulled in
and unloaded and soon the labor-’
ers had complete the gravelling
of two streets in LaCoste and are
now busy on the lower LaCoste-
Castroville Road.
More than fifteen wagons are
in use and, although this method
of hauling is much slower than
by truck, the job is getting done
and many have received employ-
ment. " . ".F 1 's V'
Small showers of rain which
fell intermittently over the week-
end and on Monday and Tuesday
slowed down wyrk considerably
but wagons are back on the job
again and the laborers are work-
ing hard toward the completion
of this gravel work.
Th* recently gravelled streets
and part of the lower LaCoste-
Castroville Road will be rolled
and worked as was the Rockport
Road, When that work is com-
pleted, the paving will begin.
