Joe Price, leader of the relo¬ party, said the crew was to leave the mountain last week when heavy rains made work Impossible, and ad¬ ded that recent snow, freezing and frost have their work. Price pointed out that not only working, but driving as is dangerous on the moun¬ tain road during freezing wea¬ ther.

Price said he does not know if the Highway Department is still planning to go on with their plans to re-locate a sec¬ tion of the road. He hinted that an extensive repair job to the site might correct the washing-out and sliding action of the roadbed. as Solicitor until that time.
