Steel Culverts Cost too Much

With a view of breaking up com
bines among manufacturers of steel
road material, George R. Melton, sec.
rotary of the state highway commits
sion, has just prepared a startling ar.
ray of figures, tending toshow that
county commissioners in many coun.
ties in Montana are expanding in the
aggregate yer $4,000 more than is
necessary for steel corrugated cul.
verts. He is urging a uniform price
for such material all ove the state.
Mr.. Melten declares that six cents
per pound is a big price to pay for
this class of road material, and be-
lieves that every pound could be pur-
chased for five cents, and with figures
before him to back up his stand, he
has started a crusade to bring about
uniform prices for all culverts in all
counties, with a view of saving the
state the $4,000.
Mr.. Melton produces figures to
show that some counties are paying
IS for a certain kind of steel culyert,
while others ire securing the very
same kind for 1898.
Manufacturers, Mr.. Melten says,
make the claim that superior material
is being furnished under a patent pro-
cess, for which they must receive a
certain price. Yet, these same manu-
facturers furnish the same material
to other counties at a much less fig
ure.
For instance, Lewis nd Clark coun-
ty purchased 1884 pounds of Open
Hearth steel for 1898 per hundred,
while Sheridan county purchased g..
69S pounds, less than a cal load, of
the same material for IS. Lewis and
Clark county bought 1O3, 800 pounds
of Keystone metal for $4.12 per hun
dred while Valley county had to pay
$500 per hundred pounds.
With a view of stopping what is re-
garded as an unnecessary expenditure
of money for c~ulvrts, Mr.. Metlen has
sent out a circular letter to county
clerks and recorders all over the
state.

Secretary Lane recently recommended
the passage OF such law. declaring
fhet the value of radium has been en-
HANGED because Of the belief that it
would prove effective as remedy for

"'rhe people of Colorado are seriously

me that all the legislation necessary To
accomplish this result is that which will
prevent the expectation Of radium t'
