Your committee, appointed to draft

When the United States, in order to
save imperriled civilization. drew her

and as unselfish as that of her manhood.

can life to go on without jar. Eli
cient in all activities. she was sup-c,n.
in one.
Her deep sympathy with human suf.
ferlng peculiarly fitted her for the
! humanitarian work Of the Red Cross.
From every city and indeed
from almost every home-ran a con-
slant stream of supplies to our boys in
the fed and these streams carried as
well Love and Faith to .hearten them
and keep them fit for their great task.
In no section was this patriotic fer> or
greater than amongst the women of
Natchitoches in the front rank of which
were found the subjects of this resolu-
tion.
Natchitoches Chapter was one OF
those that met every demand ana
throughout the anxious days of 1917
and 1918 our devoted women all
throughout the parish worked with
skiilful hands and willing hearts ut
their self imposed tasks.
Early in the organization of ths
Chapter Mrs. Stephens and Miss Drey-
russ were placed in charge Of all its |
ACTIVITIES and until the close of the |
war consec.'a.ed themselves with un
seInsh devotion to the duties of their |
office. '
To this patriotic task. they brought
ability of a high order.
clear common sense, untiring industry
ano deep sympathy, and to the tactful

The contractors costs Of preparing for

The cost Of preparing the road for the
20-foot pavements, laid by the county on
its 20-foot roads built in 1919, was ap-
proximately S7212.
The county roads are One-tenth wider
than the state roads
The cost Of preparation for paving on
the basis Of nine-tenths Of the price
actually paid would be only s6491. which
would be approximately what It would
have cost the county to have prepared
for paving Of the same width as that
used by the state.
The similarity Of the figures for the
preparation for eighteen foot paving for
the state and twenty-foot paving for the
county demonstrates the excessive cost
to the state of highway construction
under the direction Of the highway
commission.

ran into thousands Of dollars during the
period in which these contracts were let.
There is no way Of comparing the
overhead cost of construction Of tn
highways under the commission aud
under the county.
But there can be no doubt that the cost
under the county was much less than
under the state, which was spending APP

PROVES MORE
STATE ROADS
CASH WASTED
DR.. McCullOch Shows AS
phaltic Concrete Paving in
County Far Less.
EXCUSE HARD TO FIND

The excessive costs OF road pavement
when laid by the state highway com
mission contractors over the cost of lay
ing similar pavement In Marion county
is not confined 70 cement concrete roads,
according to figures compiled for Or.
Carleton B. McCulloch, candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor.
This compilation shows that asphalric
concrete road paving was laid in Marion
county at a basic unit contract price of
50 4O5 less a mile than the price charged
the state highway commission.
In 1919 the county of Marion built
some asphaltic concrete highways.
The state commission let contracts for
two short stretches of the same kind of
paving.
The contract price per square yard of
the asphaltic concrete laid by the state
highway commission was 1881.
The contract price for the Marion
county roads was $3.50.
And the Marion county roads were
reinforced with steel. while the state
highways were without reinforcement.
Carrying out the comparison between
the cost of state roads and the cost
Of county roads it is easily seen from
the figures supplied DR.. McCulloch that
the state of Indiana paid an excess
over the fair price established by Marion
county of S64. 762. IS. for the asphaltic
concrete it laid in 1918.
NO GOOD REASON
FOR DIFFERENCE.
As in the case Of the cement concrete
roads where the excess charged the state
for paving slab was s6,191 a mile, there
appears to be no good reason for the
difference.
1t is admitted. however, that the cost
of handling asphalt in different parts Of
the state might vary so,1ewhat and as
a whole be somewhat I'm excess of the
cost Of handling it in Marion county.
However, not even the most pretudiced
engineer can be induced to say that the
excess cost Of laying a road in any part
of the state should equal S5,405 mile
These differences i'm the cost of road
slab do not by any means cover the en-
tire excess which is being charged the
state by contractors who are working
for the state highway commission.
The figures shown are merely those
covering the costs of the hard surfaces
that are being placed on the highways.
The cost Of grading and otherwise pre-
pairing the highways for the surface have
not entered into these calculations.
Owing TO the difference in the contour
and the soil encountered in Indiana a
wide variation on these prices might be
expected
However, the report to Dr. McCuIloch
on this phase Of highway construction
does not show that the state obtained
this work at any less cost per mile than
Marion county
