$4,000 to Be Saved in This

The county road to Ysleta will be
cut to % feet in width instead Of q.
The width advertised in the bids. a
mutual agreement has been reached
between the county judge and county
commissioners on one side and W. J.
Rand, of the BituIithic company on
the other. to cut the concrete aprons
to three feet on each side instead of
four. This will lop off about $4,000
from the contract price and will bring
the total cost of the road within $780,
900 estimated originally as the cost
This statement was made today by
county judge E. B. McClintock.
4 think we got good bid from
the Bitulithic company, said judge
McClintock. while the specifications
called for two inches of Bitulithic over
the top Of the old roadway. there are
places where the old pavement is
broken up so badly that the Btu
lithic company will have to put in
eight inches of pavement. and on all
of this. the base is to be concrete.
There will be many holes to fill where
the present pavement has broken up
in various spots and where il has
broken on the side. Practically all the
way, the Bitulfthic will have to be
built up from the bottom next to the
concrete in order to get a good joint
while some have said the road
might be made narrower than % feet.
/ believe little extra width will be
well worth the expense 1t is now
costing the county $1,000 a mile to
keep the dirt shoulders in place along
the concrete road in the upper valley.
This will not be necessary with a
pavement a little wider than actually
necessary for the traffic and we will
soon save the cost of the extra foot
or so, and will have ii there per-
manently, whereas the shoulders we
scrape up Of gravel and earth each
