MUST CURTAIL HIGHWAY
 PROGRAMME IN STATE

The greatly increased cost, and the scarcity of labor, the high price of ma terials and limited supplies of materials through the traffic congestion of the rail- roads. will render it necessary for Con- necticut to curtain it's highway pro- gramme for this year according to the monthly periodical issued by the Con- necticut Good Roads Association.
 The demands of labor for increased pay have become so frequent, and in many cases so exorbitant, that no con- tractor feels safe in making a bid for a highway job, on a fixed price basis, un- less his bid is high enough to cover all possible future demands. Many con- tractors have absolutely refused for some months past, to undertake contract work on anything but a cost plus basis. In addition to demanding anywhere from seventy-fve cents to a dollar an hour for an eight-hour day, with double pay for overtime, many of the laborers feel so entirely independent that they will not give more than half days actual work in eight hours time.
