The Manufacturers Records Little Rocl correspondent says:
 There are very few highway construc- ton projects tnat are under way at this time, or account of weather conditions de- laying practically all the work until next spring. Many of the districts are making all their preparations for resumption of active construction work as soon as the weather permits At least 10 of the prof ects are being held up by litigation, and practically all of the projects created by the recent extra session of, the legislature preme court on test cases that have been brought to determine the validity of the acts.
 Because of the tremendous volume or the work proposed and the comparatively limited number of men and outfits avail able for construction work, the highway department is cautioning commissioners to move slowly, and not attempt to force through all projects with the reopenlns of favorable weather in the spring. rms course will bring about lower prices through competitive conditions. The pedlf of high prices seems to have been reached, and now there is downward tendency. It is believed that prices are likely TO become more reasonable again unless an effort is made to put over a fve-year programme with limited faciti- ties in one season. The natural tendency of such a course would be to eliminate competition, giving an opportunity stc contractors to secure work at practicaly their own figures.

Arkansas Completes Biggest
 Year in Road Building Plans

The work done during the past year state, and is Sut the beginning of a pro- gxamme of construction that is to con- tinue with increasing momentum until the whole state is covered with a network of Ra-.i- surface highways.
 Since April 1, 1919, the state highway department has disbursed in state aid a total of s419 lJ.31, covering the greater part of the state.
 An analysis O. a chart prepared by the engineers of tns highway department showing the variation in cost of the sew eral items entering into the construction of gravel roads ir the state for the years 1918 and 1919 shows some interesting de- tails.
 According to this chart, the cost of an average mile os gravel road in August, 1s1S was about sSSO0. This increased to the peak price of s1o,eoo in July. 1919, after which is dropped to about s1o,4oo. the present average, and shows a slightly downward tendency.
 ''The item of clearing and grubbing per acre varies from about $50 in January, 1918, 70 about s2c6 per acre in the summer of 19l9 and it has since fallen to Sl75 per acre
 Plain concrete has advanced from s1950 in January, 1918, to about s2S at the present time, which is the highest point.
 "Reinforced concrete including the steel, has advanced from s26 to s34 in September. 1919. ard is now tending downward.
 Twenty-four-inch corrugated pipe has advanced from ss.75 to $S.65; 24-inch vitri- filed pipe has advanced from s2.6o to An, costing at this time more than the cor rugated pipe, tho lines of average cos. having crossed in June, 1919.
 Less variation is shown in the co5t of unclassifed earth work than in any other item. Starting with 70 cents. 1t has advanced to 55 cents-
 'tThe cost of fence moving, starting with s1 .O5 il August 1918. reached Its higrest point IF December of that year a.15. after which 1t fell rapidly to the present 10" point of 55 cents per rod.
 "The item which enters most iargeiy into the cost of gravel road is the hauling of the gravel from the pit to its place on the road Starting with s1.2 in Augus.' 1918. it advanced to $150 in January, 19ls after which there was a drop to 90 cents in March. then a sharp rise to Sl5o m July, followed by another drop to s12o at the present time. This is for hauiing' dumping and rolling, and does not m clude the original cost of freight Ine cost of each additional mile per cubic yard varies from 40 to 60 cents"
