FORMER AWARD
TO Be CONFIRMED
WASHINGTON ENGINEER WILL
PROBABLY MAKE FAVORA-
BILE REPORT ON PAVING.
Admiral Albert Gl

There is every indication that the
contract awarded by the board of
county commissioners to the Atlantic
Bltulithic Company for paving the
plcric acid plant road will be accept
able to the Georgia Highway commits
sion.
Yesterday Secretary Pau F. Twit-
, ty of the local board of commission
ers received a communication from
w. R. Neel sta+s higE";i." engineer
stating that a WASHINGTON engineer
representing the government had
been in Atlanta advising with him
relative to the contract awarded by
the Glynn board to the Atlantic COM
pany but that since the return OF the
engineer to Washington no report
had been made, although one was
expected daily.
Mr.. Neel further stated in his COM
munication that he had every r,ason
to believe that the matter in con-
troversy will be adjusted to the sat
isfaction ox all PARTIES concerned,
which doubtless means that a
favorable report will be made by the
Washington engineer and that the
original contract will be accountable
to the government and to the Geor-
! gia Highway Commission.
Work on the paving of the pierre
acid plant road has been held ZIP by
the refusal of the state highway CON-
mission to approve the CONTRACT
awarded by the Glynn county COM
missioners to the Atlantic company
the commission favoring the bid o:
the Smith Construction company.
The former commission having been
succeeded by an entirely new per-
sonnel It is now hoped and believed
that there will be no further de-
lay in carrying out the original pro
gram as outlined by the local boart
of commissioners.

Water Bound Macadam
Is Being Discouraged

In reply to w. NJ. Rhoads of
Point Marion. who asked the State
Highway Department whether the
State will approve macadam con-
struction providing the township is
not financially able to build brick or
concrete, Commissioner Lewis S.
Sadler says: We are endeavoring to
discourage water-bound macadam
type OF highway, on account of the
very excessive maintenance expense.
There are places where the Telford
macadam can be used, and pene-
tration bituminous surfacing con-
structed would be very much more
satisfactory, whereas the cost would
be slightly increased over macadam.
Commissioner Sadler, in a letter to
w. a. Baker, Dillsburg, regrets that
the Department has not been in a
financial condition to take up the
entire re-surfacing of the roadway
between Dillsburg and Wellsville be-
cause of the length of the project.
The Commissioner says that every
effort will be made to protect the
foundation through temporary re-
pairs until such a time as funds will
warrant more substantial work.
II. Z. Scott, of Philipsburg, Clear
field county has been advised that
