STEELTON NEWS ITEMS GOVERNMENT TO BUILD NEW ROAD Front Street to Be Rebuilt From Blocks to Bor ough Limits In order to increase the efficiency of transportation facilities to and from Middletown through Steelton and Highspire, government officials in charge of the Middletown job will build a permanent street similar to the highway built by the state through Steelton and Highspire, it was learned to-day.

A joint meeting of borough and gov ernment officials will be held to-day or to-morrow at which time local au thorities will be told just what the government intends to do. The poor condition of Front street between the wooden blocks and the borough limits retards the speed of the trucks operating between the government buildings and the city.

He announced definitely, however, that the borough will fur nish part of the equipment which will be used in building the new road. The borough official stated that the Harrisburg Railways Company will be ordered to raise its tracks to the level of the street. This has been the cause of the road going bad be fore. Mr. Henderson said. After the repairs are made gov ernment officials expect to make a trip with a truck to and from the operations in Middletown ,in fifty minutes.
