CANADIAN ROAD BUILDERS. ’ LONDON, November 1. A Canadian road-building unit has given a British county council the shock of its life, all over a two and ahalf miles stretch of concrete road. The damaged road had to be repaired. The council considered that the job would take two years. But the job was urgent, so a unit of the Royal Canadian Engineers now in Britain was put on to it.
