The local situation as concerns the
proposed paving of a portion of the
citys streets appears on the surface
to be normal. The stumbling block
at the present time which is delay
ing this needed Improvement is the
stand taken by State Engineer Thos.
Maddox in refusing to approve the
bid of Warren Brothers to whom the
contract awarded under the condi-
tions of federal aid project No 20.
Mr.. Maddox gives his reasons for
this refusal in a letter to Town
Clerk A S. Brayman and which let
ter was published in full in The
Mail of last week He refers to q
ruling made by the Bureau of Public
Roads. In controversition of this
the following telegram was received
by Colonel E. P. Conway, represent
ng the Warren Brothers as bidders
on the Winslow project:
Washington, D. G. Aug. 10, 1921
Colonel E. P Conway,
Harvey House, Winslow, Ariz
CON presenting facts Arizona twenty
(Arizona Project No 2O) e. "
James, Bureau Engineer in charg
specifications and design Informed
me that where bids received on War
renite bitulithic and Topeka inch
and half top and four and half inch
black base and on six inch Portland
cement concrete aid would be grant
cd on the Warrenite bitulithic bid if
lower than Topeka even though q
lower bid received on concrete, the
Topeka being regarded as the com
parable type to bitulithic.
CIV B. G. PITCHER. .
To make a most lenient construc-
ton upon the stand taken by the
State Engineers office. it lis contrary
to the ruling alleged by Mr.. Mad
dock to have been made by the Blu.
real of Public Roads
In making comparison between
the bid of Warren Brothers on the
Winslow project and the bids for
concrete paving which were injected
into the situation, he choose to fig
tlre a difference of $4,000 in the
bids. These figures we are unable
to verify, for, to figure the bid of
Warren Brothers upon a cash basis
as was the bid of the Dan LaRoe
Company. there is a difference of a
less than $4,000 In the minds of a
great majority of people this differ
once is more than compensated in
The superiority of the bitulithic paw
ing.
In comparison, paving costs under
the bid of Warren Brothers for the
work in Winslow and the work they
are now completing at Flagstaff Of
fers some interesting figures peril
nent to the present situation. The
impression is present among some of
our people that the cost Of the paw
lng for Winslow under the bid of
Warren Brothers is far in excess of
the actual cost of the Flagstaff paw
.ng. A compilation of the figures.
however, don't give any evidence of
such difference. The actual figures
for the Flagstaff paving as obtain
ed are as follows:
The Winslow mail., 1921-09-09

When it is taken into consideTa-
tion that the Flagstaff paving is be-
ing done en- a cash basis and the
Winslow bid is upon a basis of 85
cents for dollar nar value bonds,
the advantage shows very plainly in
favor of the Winslow bid. Further
than this the contractors are obtain
ing gravel for the Flagstaff work at
81 SIS per cubic ward. while $40 is
being charged locally, although nc
doubt Warren Brothers expect to
get it for somewhat cheaper price
Crushed rock at Flagstaff, furnish
ed by that city which has its own
quarry and crusher, costs the con-
tractor $500 per cubic yard War;
rem Brothers will have to get crush
ed rock from Tempe where they
have crushing plant and will cost
them laid down here at the present
freight rete in excess Of $500 per
cubic yard If these figures are
true, and the writer has been to
some trouble to obtain them. then
the impression that the bid for the
Winslow paving is excessive as com
pared to the Flagstaff work is err
roneous
Beside this. the engineers office
should recognize that the state has
no money invested in this improve
ment, nor will it have: that it is q
matter between the people of Wins
low and the government which has
ali eady agreed to the expenditure of
federal aid funds in Winslow. In 9th
er words, the situation appears at
present to be one in which an Of
fetal of the state for reasons best
known to himself and in which he or
the state is not financially interesed,
is holding up an Improvement project
fer which the people of Winslow
have expressed a desire and to which
the government has made no obJec-
tion to its funds being used 1t is
sincerely hoped that the state engin-
eer's office will reconsider its tenta
tive decision in this matter and per
nit those mist vitallv interested to
obtain what they want Before the
request for bids was made, federal
aid was granted by the government,
and according to the telegram here
with published, the same government
has consented to the application of
