ISAAC L. TOTTEN. In the Farm ud
Fireside.)
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«

Of course they were high enough to

to pay the bonus and besides that •
handsome profit for himself.
