In this state (Indiana) we hav« what is termed “the three-mile gravel road" law. Under the provision« of this law fifty freeholders of a tow» ship may petition the county commi» sloner to establish and construct thr«« miles of gravel road at any pl««« within the bounds of that township providing the road Is to connect wit* a township-line road or another gravel road at either of its terminals; an« the road may be established and built if the township is not already over bonded, and if the bonds for the new road can be sold. This is a very elastic law and per mits of the dissipating of a very larg« amount of county money, because of the fact that the work is let to co» tractors. Of course the construction work of the roads is let to the lowest bidder«; but there are so many hooks and crooks—mostly crooks—in connection with the work, when placed In th« hands of a contractor that the cost of constructing the roads is greatly in ex cess of the benefits. After the county commission«** have established the road for which the fifty freeholders of the township have petitioned, they appoint a super intendent, whose duty is to see that the proper grade is made for the road, and also to see that the right kind of gravel is used and applied according to specifications. The one who usually gets the job of being superintendent is some on« to whom the commissioners owe polity cal obligations, and in many instance« he is not tn the least competent to su pervise the work. 1 had an opportunity recently to ob serve how some of the road work wu handled. I was one of the gravel haul ers employed. T*e grave}—or whnt was supposed to be gravel—wan hauled from cars, a distance of about a mile during the time I was working. This alleged gravel was obtained from the gravel pits belonging to the com tractors. The superintendent who was employed by the county to se« that the contractors carried out th« work according to specifications, engi neered all of the work, with the excep tion of managing the teams and keep ing the time. He did the contractoi** work while the contractors loafed around the salcons in town making themselves good fellows with whoever they thought would play into their hands. Although the superintendent wan employed and paid by the county, ha asked the contractors for compens»- tion for the work he did of setting grade boards and helping level th« gravel. The contractors were nothing morw than figureheads, The county was paying them a good, round profit merely for their signature on the com tract; the county was doing the work for them, and not the contractor« do ing the work for the county. A pr«4- ty way to work it! Why cannot this kind of work b« handled direct by the county, stat« or national government and so elimi nate the contractors? It would sav« millions of dollars. One contractor told of how the "bld game" was worked when bids wer« placed on a certain piece of work. H« said that the contractors usually got together and arranged their bld«, and the one who wanted the job would give the others a bonus and hav« them put their blds in higher than hl« Of course they were high enough to give him a chance to so place his Md as to bring in a sum large enough to pay the bonus and besides that • handsome profit for himself.
