ROAD CONTRACTORS
SEEK PROTECTION
Stress Need Of Scientific Laws
Governing Highway Building,
Also Court of Claims
PRESENT SYSTEM COSTLY

The earliest possible enactment OF
scientific laws governing highway con-
ptruction and embracing provisions Tor
the establishment of court OF claims
Ms well as decentralization Of supervis-
inp authority will save the state mil.
lions Of dollars in the execution OF
future road building contracts. says
Charles A. Waters.
Mr.. Waters, who is counsel for the
Associated Pennsylvania Highway Con-
tractors and the Public Works Con-
struction Industry, asserted that under
existing conditions contractors VINO
undertake road- building work for the
Commonwealth have no redress what
ever il their original contract price is
exceeded through no fault OF theirs;
Therefore, he said. they are compelled
to add an extra 10 per cent Of the
total estimate to insure themselves
against loss.
Inst year by the State Highway De.
partment, including the completion OF
GO miles of new highway. $4,000. OOO
was wasted for this reason. Mr..
Waters said, repeating the allegation
contained in his special report on the
subject submitted last Thursday at the
third annual meeting of the associated
contractors in Harrisburg. With q
view to remedy this situation n set OF
new bills Is now being prepared by Mr..
Waters 10 be introduced at Harrisburg
next month.
without hesitation I can say that
those contractors who now submit bids
and cngnge in road construction must
estimate their cost considerably higher
than would otherwise be the case to
cover the risk of n loss Mr.. Waters
continued. "Under the present law
they cannot sue the State because the
contract signed by the successful bidder
contains the following clause: All
rights of any action or action Mt Inv,
or in equity, arising under or by virtue
of the contract. and all matters con-
nectcd with II and relative. nre express.
ly waived by the contractor
"In NIL fairness we should have nm
arbitration clause at least. The State
Highway Commissioner may be willing
to insert such clause in n contract,
but the Act of 1911 governing road
construction does not authorize him to
do so."
The situation in New York State Is
as good ms may be found anywhere else
in the country. Mr.. Waters said. by
reason Of its Court of Claims which
settles all claims and disputes between
individuals or companies and the Com
monwealth. The establishment Of such
q court of claims in Pennsylvania. or
n board of claims. during the impending
session of the State Legislature is the
desire of those interested in rev
law which will remedy the situation
as it exists now.
In New Jersey bills for th" relief Of
contracts and awarding supplementary
contracts to the roadbuildcr have been
passed from time to time by the state
Legislature. after contractors filed
schedules of increased costs. incurred

U. OF P. TO DISCUSS
WOOD CASE TODAY
Strong Sentiment Among Alumni
Not 70 Accept Resignation

Strong Sentiment Among Alumni
Not TO Accept Resignation
Action on the resignation Of General
Leonard Wood as titular head OF the
University Of Pennsylvania will be
taken by the Board of Trustees today.
There is q strong sentiment among
Penn alumni that the resignation should
not be accepted, and that an additional
leave Of absence Of four to six months
be given to General Wood.
Trustees are said to feel that the res.
isnation was intended by General Wood
more as an act Of courtesy than an
indication Of any desire to sever his ar.
rangement with the board. It is felt
that he wanted merely TO leave the trus-
tees free to appoint another in his place
IN event Of there being. nny objection
to another extension Of his leave. q,
Members of the board refused
to commit themselves on the rrob-
able action to be taken today. 1t was
learned, however, that they have been
making inquiries in governmental CIR.
cles to determine whether there mas
been any material change In the situa. 4.
tion that existed three weeks ago that
would further delay the return of Gen.
eral Wood to this country.

 ALMOST MILLION
New Appropriation Bill Is Believed to Be $l, l,000, ,000
 Less Than Former Bill

PHOEN1i, Ariz., Mar. 1.-The gen eral appropriations bill, containing appropriations understood to be less by nearly million dollars than those carried in the general appropriation bill of the regular session for the fis- cal year beginning July l, was prac- tically completed today by the joint appropriations committee of the leg islature. It is 'almost ready for the printer, and probably will be intro duced in the house Monday.
 No member would disclose the ex- act total the bill carried, each stat ing that it had not yet been accurate ly footed
 At the same time, the committee finished 8 bill repealing some 16S continuing or statutory appropria- tions. It was reported the commit tee members delved into the revised statutes and the session laws in quest of statutory appropriations to elimin- ate.
 It was predicted that all legislation would be set aside Monday for con- sideration of the appropriation and repeal bills.
 The only other development of a. non-legisfative day was a prolonged caucus of Democratic members of the senate in the Hotel Adams Sev- eral members of the house participat ed. No hint of the matters discussed was divulged
 Action is expected Monday on House Bill No. 9, the Kimball meas ure for amendment of the improve ment act. which is in the hands of the senate committee on state, coun- ty and city affairs. Committee ac- ton has been halted because of a motion by Senator Sims to strike out the validating clause of the bill. This clause would not affect the chief pur- pose of the measure-to provide for competition in bidding on street pav- ins-but is intended to meet a con. dition at Tucson where a paving pro- ject has been held up in santicipation of passage of the bill.
