!! In the meanwhile no loss of time in
carrying on the work is being caused,
for the department has four camps of
state cOnvicts at work on the clearing

has begun the grading at several points
along the portion of the road to be

ROAD BUILDING
PRICES CLIMB
BIDS SUBMITTED ON STATE
HIGHWAYS ARE THREE TO FOUR
TIMES HIGHER THAN BEFORE
THE WAR.

Tallahassee, Feb. Especial -
As a result of the meeting of the State
Road Department, held in Tallahassee
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
of last week, the people of the state
will learn that if they want high class
roads, constructed of grouted brick,
concrete, bftuminous macadam or ma
terial generally classed as a permanent
type of paving, they will have to raise
two or three times as much money to
defray the cost as was required only
a few years ago. Before the war;"
prices no longer prevail and there does
not appear to be any prospect Of
such prices returning.
Bids submitted to the department by
! several contracting firms. companies
and individuals ranged from $4,000
| to $4,000 per mile for the fifty-four
miles of state roads No. 1, between
| Jacksonville and Lake City. and all bids
with one exception, were rejected. The
bid not rejected was not taken under
consideration, but no award was made.
AS an example of how prices have
advanced in the last six months, the
chairman of the state road department
Hon. M. NJ Smith, stated that last July
the department awarded a contract
for eleven miles of bituminous mac
adam paving, sixteen feet in width, at
price of approximately $4,000 per
mile, and a contract for six miles of
grouted brick waving, nine feet in
! width with three and one-haf feet
rock shoulders on each side, at a price
of approximately $4,000 per mile. The
bids acted upon at the January meet
ing of the department called for ap-
proximately double the amounts named
for each of the two types of paving.
Whether the department will read
vertise for bids for the paving of state
road No. 1, between Jacksonville and
Lake City or go ahead with the con-
struction of the same with it's own
forces, is an open question. Some of
the members of the department are
strongly in favor of the department
proceeding with the work and thus
saving contractors profits on many
of the items included in the specifica-

state thar the fa.l was very light in
both sections.
The rainfall at the city lake was
barely sufficient to lay the dust, and
there was no rain at all at Springer.
From reports received the precipi'
tation did not effect a raise at H!ck'
ory creek, and the pipe line this
morning continues TO flow about lG5,-
600 gallons as recorded last week.
Bert Parker, engineer at the pump
ing plant. states that unless some
steps are taken to put in a dam AT the
intake on Hickory creek in the near
future, the water supply Will be in
grave danger.
Mr.. Parker says that a four-foot
dam there would be sufficient to
raise the water at the intake so that
1t would give a three-toot head. WIN
this condition he says the pipe line
would carry 1,5OO,O 600 gallons every
"a hours, more than half q million
gallons over the average daily con
sumption of the city.
Mr.. Parker's plan would be to build
n four.foot dam at present with q

as the money is not available he sug'
cests that heavy property oWner'

and ct the city repay as it was able.
IN this way he say the water situa'
ton could be solved. The supply al

mate will last from 40 to 60 days
but at the end of that time unless

 The resolution of Senator Underwood, providing for the appointment of con ciliatory committee of senators to work out such compromise, will not b. pressed immediately because of the fore gong fact The Alabamian stated to- night that he had been given assurance by leading democrats and Senator Lodge. speaking for the republicans, that great light was about to break, and that as result the treaty would be ratified
 If that statement materializes into fact said Senator Underwood. T will not press my resolution as I intended to do. If within few days developments are not as promised I will insist on a vote, and there is every reason to believe the resolution will prevail. Senator Hitch cock, leading the fight for ratification, told me today that lie would support my resolution, and this means that most or the democrats would support it. There are enough republicans favorable to the resolution to guarantee it's passage.
