ROAD ESTIMATES AT
.O796 OF ACTUAL COSTS
State Engineers Accomplish Ex-
ceptiOnaI Work In Figuring
AS To Costs.
(From Sunday Starr

With about two more weeks fol
highway construction work, before
the weather becomes too cold for eff
ficient road building, the state will
have a total of about 457 miles O.
roadway to its credit. 1t will then bC
up to the next legislature as to how
much if any more miles of highways
are constructed in the next two
years.
Some idea of the high degree OF
perfection to which the State High
way Engineering Department has
reached may be gained from the
fact that in estimating the actual
cost of the building of highways in
the past two years the road engi-
neers have come within less than
one per cent many times of the cost
of the road desired.
Usually contingent fund of from
10 to is per cent Is set aside for IN
cidentals an dthings that may in
crease the cost of the road over and
above the estimated cost. In other
words, if highway to cost about
100000 actually costs $4,000 or
$115,000, it is considered a good Job.
But Delaware highway engineers
have done infinitely much better
than this.
During 1928, the Highway Depart
ment constructed 80 different STREET
ches of highways at a cost of $2,S48,-
900. On this work the engineers had
estimated the cost would be $2,827,-
900 or a difference of about twenty
thousand dollars. This is about .O7 of
one per cent.
During the road building season
this year, the engineers have estima-
ted on twenty-nine contracts and
eight of these have had final pay
ments. The amounts estimated by
the engineers was $332,O0O and the
actual cost, $343,O0O, a difference of
about $1,000. Among highway en-
gineers this efficiency in estimating
S considered nothing short of mary
slOus.
In discussing the work of the en-
5ineers C. D. Buck, chief engineer,
Save all the credit for the work to
he engineers who had estimated on |
he costs.
"All that have done has been to
7atch things and keep checking up
n the items" said Mr.. Buck. "The1
ngineers deserve all the credit.
,ast year spoke to them about the
ariOus jobs and said 1 didn't want
lem to underestimate the costs.
hey have been more careful and
lie result is shown in the figures

There was hearing at Rehoboth I
le past week conducted by the gov I
'nment to hear any protests that
ight be offered against the erection I
a new bridge over the Lewes-Re- S
'both Canal. While Colonel Earl /. I
rown, the United States Engineer '
charge Of>the work was i'll and
liable to be present, assistants pre- il
led at the hearing, but there were Il
protests from any one. The gov a
nment officials will now make a v
vOrable recommendation to the r
ar Department for the legal au- b
Ority to proceed with the work. a
According to Mr.. Buck, in the con- a
'uctiOn of the work this year, the

Fisk, formerly a resident Of Helena,

voice. advising that the Los Angeles
sector is a good place to keep away
from this winter and for some time

Mr.. Fisk went to Los Angeles short

at the same time, ne figured II some
thing in the way of q good job fell
across his path, he might spend few
months in the "balmy climate" Of
southern California. He's glad now
that, unlike a good many Montana
people who went to Los Angeles and
vicinity during the past six months,
he didn't have to depend on getting
work.
He discovered that the country is
the section il utterly
unable to absorb the hordes Of people
who have flocked there with the In
bention Of becoming permanent resi-
dents. Rents and living expenses are
prohibitive except Tor q person Of

Along with the other troubles the
banks Of southern California have en-
tered into an agreement to loan no
more money on real estate. The agree

now stated that it will be renewed for
an indefinite period. They took this
action to avoid the crash which ia
feared because Of the outlandish pyr-
amiding Of realty values. Residences

are priced at s1.70O, and small lots at
