new CONTRACTS
AT OLD PRICES
Being CHARGED
Attempt at Justifying
Cancelled Road Bids
Latest Claim Made By
Attorney General
fBv The Associated Pressl


AUSTIN, Tex, March An
a letter to Hal Mosely, chairman
Of the state highway commits
sion, Attorney General Dan
Moody charges that the ''pur-
pose Of advertising for bids on
surfacing contracts cancelled
through his prosecution is "to
secure bids and let the work at
figures which would appear to
Justify the prices fixed in the
American Road company and
Hoffman Construction company
contracts.
The letter was made public and Is
dated today. althouh Attorney General
Moody left last night for Dallas. 1t is
sequence OF conversation between
Moody and Moseley. Moseley said he
would answer the letter probably late
today. He rhad no comment TO make on
the attorneys generals charges.
In tho communication Moody does not
write Of specifications asking for bids
for amiesIte paving or rock asphalt but
confined the discussion to bituminous
asphaltic resurfacing work which, he
claims. il was testified by engineers in
the trials Of the American Road corr
pany and Hoffman Construction COM
pany suits that bituminous asphaltic
surfacing was unsatisfactory in Texas.
He also charged that this surfacing was
of questionable value and that federal
aid had been disallowed on certain BIZ
luminous asphaltic projects.
Contracts for resurfacing of roads
under the cancelled contracts of the
American and Hoffman companies are
20 be let Monday. the bids 70 be opened
Friday.
Specifications Different
1T IL APPARENT that the specifications
under which you now advertise for bids
are substantially different from the
specifications IN the contracts between
the state of Texas and the American
Road company. and the Hoffman Con-
struction company" Moody wrote.
Irrespective III the quantity OF as
phalt called for in the two sets Of spe-
cification. you have substantially in
creased the obligations resting upon
the contractor over those required under
the specifications in the contracts with
the American Road company and the
Hoffman Construction company. In the
specifications under which you now call
fer bids. you preserve the right TO re-
quire that ten asphalt machines be
placed in operation by the contractor.
Obviously. this would require a large
outlay Of money. Other instances might
be pointed out To YOU, but the most cur
sorry reading or the two sets Of specifi-
cations make the difference in the two
apparent. The obligation Of the con
tractor with reference to the base Of
the road is one under which a contract
or might be required TO perform an
enormous or n very small amount OF
work nj the discretion or whm Of the
directing engineer. and no one can fore
see the amount cf work which might not

spirit of comradeship that all who
have suffered in the cause of De-
mocracy should feel toward one an
other.
8. To discuss the problems for
the relief of needy comrades and
work out methods by which these
more easily and effectively may be
accomplished, through the ccopera,
tive efforts of the chapter and the
community.
