STATE
CAPT
Wait For Price Reduction.


Annapolis
Despite the fact that prices, general
ly speaking, are going down, the State
Roads Commission does not yet see
signs of a break in the roadbuilding
materials market sufficient to warrant
the advertisement of bids on 1921 road
construction.
Maryland is standing pat" with
nearly every other State in the Union,
with the exception of Pennsylvania, in
a strike against the high bids that
have been made by contractors. Penn
sylvania, the exception, is in the Pc
culiar position of having already let
out an extensive three-year program at
wartime figures, ranging from $60,000
to $4,000 per mile. The fact that
great part of this program is to be
completed this year may have some
effect upon the prices of roadbuilding
materials and labor in Maryland and
adjoining States, experts say, but it is
not expected to keep prices at such
peaks as they have heretofore main
tanned.
Chairman John N. Mackall, of the
Roads Commission, received a tele-
graphic inquiry from one of the Com
missioners of California the other day
asking if there was any material break
in prices in the East. Mr.. Mackall re-
piled that the future looked favorable,
but that the Maryland Commission
saw no prospect of such prices as
would warrant beginning the 1921 pro-
gram. This gives an idea of how the
roads authorities are combined against
the contractors and material markets
to force down prices. Such plan,
on a sort of a "gentlemen's agree
ment," was made at the recent con-
vention of road engineers in Washing.
ton, which represented authorities
from every State.
According to Mr.. Mackall, the con.
tractors are just as anxious to bring
prices down to prewar basis as the
State builders. Mr.. Mackall does not
think that the Pennsylvania situation,
which will draw much material and
labor at high prices, will affect the
standard prices, once they are reached
in this State, to any great extent.

1t is estimated, will be spent on the
