In the annual report of the highway commission ot California, Mr. Fletcher, the engineer, gixes the cost of a I 1» inch asphaltic concrete wearing surface at 45 cents per square yard, contract price. In Marion county, in 1015, the • euiity laid a five inch asphaltic concrete pave ■unlit at a eost of -17 cents per square yard. Granting that the increased cost of laying pavement would bring the aver age cost up to 00 cents per square yard of two inch wearing surface, there re mains a margin of 00 cents in the price paid the contractors. Figuring the profit on the 45 miles at only 00 cents per yard, which is over and above a legitimate profit, the rake o f f is about $170,000. This amount the commissioners could have saved the state on this 41 miles alone. Since the above contracts were let, other contracts for pav mg have been made at about the same figures. Have the big dailies and the little weeklies that promised a dollar's worth o f road for a dollar in money anything to say about thisf lias the highway commission any ex planatioii to make! of their adoption are stronger than the blood ties that bound them to the land of their birth or of their parents’ birth. It v indicates the rout idein e expressed in them by the president. It shows up the narrowness of those who would mi pose additional h n rdslnps upon them because of their ancestry. All honor to those of Germun buth and of German parentage who have shown iu this living moment that they are Vinci leans and do not liesitnto to perform the duties imposed upon them bv VmerioHti citizenship.
