BIDS FOR $500, 900 WORK TO OPEN MARCH "a
A|DFOR JOBLESS
SEEN IN BIC
PROJECT

In order to do what he can
towards relieving unemployment
IN Washington the Engineer Com
lssioner today announced that
bids for highway construction to
cost approximately half a million
dollars will be opened on March
a.
The work, to be done will be
started Immediately after award
Of contract, Is listed as follows:
Resurfacing roadway by the re-
placemen method whit sheet
asphalt-concrete base; paving
alleys with cement-concrete; con-
Structing cement sidewalks; re-
pairs to concrete roadways and
alleys and concrete base: and
surface treatement of macadam
roadways. ....
1t was pointed out that it has
been customary to let contracts
for such work in the Spring after
the passage of the District bill,
combining the work left over
from the previous working season
with that authorized in the new
bill.
This year the District bill will
not become a law until some
time after weather conditions
shshould permit highway construc-
ton.
Captain Hugh P. Dram of the
Engineer Department points out
that the letting of contracts for
this work would almost immedi-
&tely give employment to a large
number of men.
:; It will slightly increase the day
labor forces of the District after
the work has started.
1t was said that funds for the
work are available from 1880
appropriations.
