State Insurance
of Road Contracts
Is Urged by Duffe,
III 9 h way Commissioner
Tells $ Legislature Plan
Would Save Thousands
Given Bonding Concerns

ALBANY, Jan. ~. -Discontinuance
of the practice of having contracts for
the State Department Of Highways
guaranteed by security companies and
the development Of some plan whereby
the state could insure its own con-
tracts are suggested by State Highway
Commissioner Edwin Duffey in his
annual report. which ne submitted to
the Legislature tonight
Commissioner Duffey pointed out
that in the last twenty years more than
100000 600 of state and county funds
had been expended for roads, all under
contracts guaranteed by surety COM
pany bonds, the premiums upon which
are estimated to aggregate more than
100000. Up to the present time, he
reported, the surety companies have
enjoyed safe and remunc rative bust
ness, with few if any, losses. But now
that an emergency has arisen, owing
to the war. the responsibilities, for
which large premiums have been paid,
are disclaimed
the premium paid by the contractor
to the surety company for the bona
guaranteeing the performance of the
contract constitutes an important item
OF expense. which is included by the
contractor in the price for which he
agrees to do the work" says the re-
port. In the last analysis, therefore,
the premium is paid by the state
In explaining the reason for this con-
dltion the Commissioner told of a
practice which had grown up, under
which contractors without prior ex-
parlence. and sometimes without finan-
clal resources, were provided by sure
ty company with a certified check
necessary to bid. If such contractor
proved TO be the low bidder. he received
'Ae contract and the surety company
wrote his bond.
Several contractors. nearly all Of
whom had secured contracts with the
AID OF the surety companies, abandoned
inclr Work when war conditions raised
the price Of labor and materials. some
others continued the work but in n
dilatory and unsatisfactory manner In
some cases surety companies obtained
lnJunctons restraining the Highway
department from compelling the com
plctlon of certain contracts. on the
ground of impossibiity Of procuring
labor and materials, and alleging that
the company would incur big financial
loss If the contract was completed
1T would seem, the report says
that plan could be evolved by which
The state could insure its own contracts
and thus receive the protection for
which payment is made
A. an illustration of the greatly in
creased cost Of HIGHWAY const ,l1r+io,
work, the report states that in 1915,
the last year that normal conditions
prevailed. contracts were awarded for
the Improvement of ,O73 miles of high
ways at a cost of Sll.790,0OO. At the
present price Of labor and materials
but little more than half that mileage
could be completed for the same money.
