SAVE MONEY
ON ROADS BY
new PROCESS
Tar Retread Enables County
to Work; Cut Profits
of Contractors.

Under a new process of road con-
struction Marion County taxpayers
will be saved 20 per cent on road
building if county employees do the
work rather than contractors, it
was revealed today in a report of
Highway Superintendent Luther
Tex. The new treatment known as
tar retread has undergone expert
ments in the county and will be
recommended for future construc-
ton, Tex pointed out.
THE problem of maintaining
roads in Marion County has re-
solved into two considerations" he
said. "One is to make road strong
and safe for travel and the other
to control the dust and loss of ag-
gregate from the surface"
Used on w. Thirtieth st.
He pointed out that the new
process was used on w. Thirtieth
ST., from Flackville to the George
town Rd., and south on this high
way to Sixteenth ST., in 1925. This
road, during the period of the
Speedway races, is subject to ex-
tremely heavy traffic" Tex said.
Recent tests Of the road show it to
be in good condition and that MAIN
tenance will cost only 10 cents a
square yard, while actual construc-
ton costs As cents a square yard.
This type Of construction is adap-
table to a county road program
and. cannot be handled by contract
for within 20 per cent of the cost
which it is now being constructed
by county employees" he said.
Economical Resurfacing
Fifty-Sixth ST., Cold Spring Rd.,
the Edgewood Rd. and the Allison
vile Rd., from the State Playground
to Fortieth st. and Keystone Ave.
are so constructed.
The engineers estimate for the
Allisonville Rd. was $32,386. The
total cost of this road, under the
retread process was $9,42640.
''It will be this departments in
tention, by these methods, to show
how county commissioners econom-
ically can resurface secondary roads
in the county and other sections OF
roads which can not be constructed
otherwise because of petty blocks
which are easy to place in the way
of any procedure where political
units are apt to be involved" the
report read.

Cornelius Jorman of Indianapolis
