Construction work will be started soon on the Federal highway east of Stockton. The camp has been located on the north side of the new location, half a mile east of the John Reed farmstead, and is situated at the center of the project for convenience. R. K. Walters is the superintendent in charge, with about fifteen men on the job. The actual construction work is still being held up while state highway engineers complete the office work on a recheck of the drainage structures. The work here will be under the charge of resident engineer F. Barkley, who arrived last week from Oberlin. Jack Coolbaugh, who has been studying engineering for some time, is assisting him in this location work. The material and equipment already on the job include a 60-horse power caterpillar tractor, a Stroud elevated grader, a dozen dump wagons, and much other equipment with some 30 horses and mules at the camp.
