labor was Il cents per hour, while in
New England it was 20 cents and in
the Pacific and Mountain states it
was 26 cents. In all of these states
the price rose until in 1920 it was 80
cents in the East South Central
states, 40 cents in New England, and
from SIS to 60 cents in the Pacific and
Mountain states. 1t dropped again
in 1922 in the East South Central
states to 20 cents, in New England to
SO cents and 4S cents in the Pacific
states, rising again in 1928 to p
cents in the East South Central, 81
cents in the New England states and
81 cents in the Pacific states.
There was a similar range for
prices of road building materials
which gradually rose until in 1920
it was about 80 percent above the
1915 figures for lumber, a little over
100 percent for steel, and about 100
percent for cement. From this high
point all materials dropped until
1922.
THE results in road construction
were that the price of common eX-
cavation rose steadily to 1920, fell
back again until 1922, and then be-
gan to rise again. Similar move
ments took place in structural con-
crete and in the pavements. These
fluctuations may be shown graph
cally, and taken together produce
variations in the total cost per mile
from year to year. For example, if
we assume a road with 5000 cubic
yards of excavation, 1860 square
yards of pavement and rs cubic
yards of concrete, and use the pre-
vailing labor and material prices for
an expenditure of 100000, the mile
ages we would have been able to
build are:
