EXPERT FAVORS
ASPHALT PLANT.
Fulton County Must Offer More
Money to Secure Services of
Detroit Man.

Q. A. Proctor. asphalt expert, of De
troit. Mich, favored by Chairman
Smith and Commissioners Winn and
thurman and openly opposed by Com
missioners Tull c. Waters and Cen
eral Clifford Anderson. appeared before
the public works committee to-day to
discuss with them his proposed ap-
pointment as expert for Fulton county.
Mr.. Proctor arrived in Atlanta yes
terday and in company with Chairman
shelby Smith was driven through Full
ton in the countys machine. He will
return to Detroit Tuesday.
At the last meeting of the county
board the public works committee rec
commended his appointment at The sal
airy of $4,000 annually Mr., Proctor
made it plain that he could not accept
the position at that figure, as he was
being paid something over $1,000 more
by Detroit.
IF I am employed by the county he
said. Il think l will like the work. As
l understand it, | am to supervise the
asphalt work in the county and proba-
bly, later confer with the city about the
work to be done under its supervision.
1t Is new to me. as l have had charge
of the city plant at Detroit and have
done no county work. While | haven't
had time to look around as much as
would like to, I would at once favor
the erection of Il plant. We have saved
more thans$2O5, 900 within the last eight
years at Detroit by owning our plan,
and l naturally think it is the best
method.
Roughly, ! would say there are
about go miles of paving to be done
in the county 1t would be cheaper
to erect a plant with a capacity for
about 1900 yards daily, which would
cost about $4,000. This could do the
patching as well as the surfacing when
smaller plant could only do the
patching.
Il am not partial TO any particular
material or method and will give every
company an equal showing, but the
purchasing will probably be left to the
board and not to me.
Il am paid about $4,000 by Detroit,
he concluded. which, with some work
do for nearby towns and cities,
swells my salary considerably above
this sum. l would not like to make
a change unless l knew it to be some
thing better
