STATE TO Save
IN Cement Use
Bids for Paving Material
Decrease $5,0OO,OOO.

Indiana will save more than
$5,0O0,000 on its cement contract
for next year as compared to the
present contract for the same
quantity. Director John D. Brown,
of the state highway department,
announced today after receiving
bids.
The bids will be acted upon at a
commission meeting Wednesday.
They are the lowest received by the
highway commission in many years,
averaging from 20 to 80 cents a bar
rel less than the 1929 contract
prices.
A delegation from Terre Haute
will attend the commission, urging
that Indiana-made cement be
bought to boost the use of Indiana
coal. 1t is probable 100000 OF the
100000 barrels of cement needed
will be bought outside the state.
The Marquette Cement Company
Of Illinois submitted the lowest bids
on deliveries to thirty-two places in
the state, being from cents to 10
cents a barrel lower in addition to
the average cut of 25 cents from the
1929 contract.
Five of fifteen bidders from In
diana will be favored because of
use of Indiana coal.
