Procedure Eliminates tompcd
tion In Paving Projects.
La Grande, Oregou , Nov. '20. Td
the Editor As further proof of ' the
fact that the Warren Construction
company in La Grande, because of
the (act that they have no coinpet'tloo
here, is charging an extravagant price
for Its pavement, I desire to give a
few Illustrations of what this com
pany Is doing or arreelng to do else
where. It may be said to begin with,
that all up-to-date substantial pave
ments have a concrete base. This Is
the rule In all eastern cjtles and cen
erally Inthe west. U a pavement Is
to be laid even of wood blocks or of
vitrified brick, they first lay a con
crete base, so a to have a solid foun
dation that will not yield and break
under the heavyt. traffic under which
the street Is to be used. There is
probably no better wearing surface
than asphalt heated and mixed with
crushed rock. The so-called "bitu
llthlc" Is In this class of topping, and
If placed upon a concrete base In
stead of loose gravel or crushed rock
would be a strictly first class pave
ment, and the Warren Construction
company does put in this concrete
base where the city requires it and
competition compels it. At Monroe
in the state of Washington, near Ev
erett, the Warren Construction com
pany recenttly bid $f.90 a square yard
for a two Inch standard bitullthlc. to
be placed on a six inch concrete base,
making eleht inches of pavement
Compare that with thet$2.20 a yard
we had to pay for a pavement six in
ches thick on Adams avenue, of which
four and one half Inches was ordinary
crushed rock and one and half Inches
bitullthlc topping.
Again at Sumner, wMch lies be
tween Seattle and Tacoma. the War
ren Construction company recently
took a contract for 8600 yards of pave
ment at J.80 a yard. This pavement
to consist of four inches of first class
concrete made of crushed rock and
cement and two Inches of standard
bitullthlc topping.
At Moscow, where the Warren Con-,
structlon company -recently was an
unsuccessful bidder against the Blrd
Mendenhall Construction company or
Salt Lake, they bid $2.04 1-2 a yard
for a concrete base five inches thick,
made of 'first class Portland cement,
and a topping consisting of two in
ches of Standard bitullthlc, and this
where they had to ship their rock 16
miles. While at Colfax, 27 miles dis- knew
taut, where they had so shaped the . piec
'Specifications as to avoid competition j
they got $2.15 a yard for Just "such.
paveiT"nt as they put dbwn on Adams'
avenue, although they had - to haul
their rock less than a. mile. This
shows the advantage of open compe
tition, not only in the price paid but
also in the quality of the work.
The wearing surface of any pave-
