eost of less than 80 cents per square
yard.
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.

weeklies that promised a dollar's worth
