STATE TO BUILD ROADS.
High Prices Asked by Contractors Can
Be Avoided In That Way.

The State Highway Commission has
decided to go into the construction of
hihways directly. This decision came
at the suggestion of Governor Roberts
after the Commission had advertised
for bids in Claiborne and Union Coun-
ties and received only one bid, which
was in excess of $50. 100000 per mile
for 16 foot macadam road.
Contractors claim that on account of
the chaotic conditions in labor circles
and the fluctuations iD the price of ma
terial that they must allow wide
margin for profits in bidding on any
kind of construction work. Governor
Roberts believes that under these con-
ditions the State can go into the con-
struction of roads directly sand save
many thousands of dollars.
A feature of the plan which will
commend itself to the people is that
the labor employed will come from
thelocality in which the roads are be-
ing constructed; thereby leaving the
money so expended in the locality
where the work is being done. 1t is
believed that this plan will meet with
the approval .of the people in all
sections, and under present unsettled
conditions, it is apparent that is about
the only way to get road construction
done in the near future. Under this
pain, the men who actually do the
work will have direct interest in it
and better results may be expected
than would come. from imported
labor.
Work will be started at once in
some of the counties, and if it proves
successful, work will be started IN
number of other counties just as fast
as working forces caH be organized.
