A bitter fight between street COM
tractors has forced bids on asphalt
pavement to $3.50 a square yard. the
lowest price in eight years, John L.

that no asphalt interests were in

struCtion Company
According to Elliott the fight has
developed in the last three weeks,
with the bids running between $3.50
and $3.50 a square yard. Prices at
the opening of the season averaged
about $500, Is cents lower than in
