Work began on Tuesday on the road from the Middle Road to the top of Peaked Hill, the contract having been awarded to R. W. Balam, Boston contractor, who is engaged in putting through several jobs on the Island. The road is to be surfaced, after the grading is completed, and will supply a government way to the observation post that is planned for the Island’s highest point.
According to the understanding, such an observation post will consist merely of a small dugout or otherwise protected position, from which certain spotting and observation may be made to aid artillery fire from mainland batteries.
