MAKES
LOBBY CHARGE
Says Much Work is Being
Done Against His Bill for.
Open Specifications.

TRENTON, March 14.-Deciaring
that his bill is in line with the Am
erican policy of honest competition,
State Senator William H. Parry, of
Essex county. today issued another
statement calling attention to his
"open specifications" bill in the leg
islature. He declared that one of
the strongest Hobbies of the session Is
actively engaged in an effort to beat
the bill, which has been amended to
exempt road work in which the
amount involved is less than $500
and which will be ready for final pas
sag In the senate within a few days.
The senator's statement contained
the gist of replies from State High
way engineers and other officials
from different states all tending to
show the competition is wide open
for all types of pavements in these
states.
w. ". Buck, assistant state high
way engineer of Kansas. wrote Sc
ator Parry that that state Is not fav-
orable to the patented pavement. G.
p. Portney. chairman of the West
Virginia State Road commission,
said:
THE general plan of letting con-
tracts in this state is in accord with
the purpose of your bill: that is to
say, that the patented paving COM
panies must come in competition
with unpatented materials"
W~isconsin's State Highway Engi.
neer A. r. Hirst. said that state
favors concrete pavement, but that
their specifications are "open to the
world and any type of bitumen meet
ing the requirements of the work
may be used"
open specifications" are the rule
said other replies from the follow
ing:G. R. Harr. Indiana State High
way commissions: G. p. Coleman.
State Highway Commission of Vir-
ginia; Paul ID. Sargent, chief engi-
neer. Main State Highway commits
sion; Frank F. Rogers, Michigan
State Highway commissioner, and w.
s. Keller, State Highway Engineer of
Alabama.
Some lawyers have construed our
New Jersey law regarding counties
to mean that the board of freehold
ers in advertising for road work are
limited to n type of road" stated
Senator Parry. "If the type which
the board selects is a material for
which a patent exists, there can he
no actual competition. The result
is that the public is obliged to pay
much more for the building of the
road than would be necessary under
honest competition"
