HASTINGS, PA.
(Lanark Road)
Beaver Valley |Construction Prices
May Force Delays
In Road Building
Part of Pennsylvania's $80,000,-
000 post-war road construction
program may be postponed be-
cause of high prices.
E. L. Schmidt, chief engineer
of the State Highways Deart-
ment, said contract costs are run-
ning 70 percent ahead of 1940.
The state already has awarded
contracts covering $52,000,000 of
the program. “But we can’t keep
it up,” Schmidt said. “If prices
don't level off, we've got to call
a halt.”
Construction costs have shown
signs of stabilizing. Schmidt
noted, but expressed te appre-
hension that a boost in railroad
freight rates would send bids up
again. Railroads have asked the
Interstate Commerce Commission
for an immediate 10 percent
freight rate increase and an over-
all boost of 25 percent.
“The majority of materials go-
ing into road construction—steel,
cement and gravel, for instance
are transported by rail,”
said. If freight rates are increas-
ed, Schmidt said he couldn't see
how contract bids could be kept
down.
The problem is further compli-
cated, Schmidt explained, by the
fact that any postponement in
construction leaves roads in such
bad shae that more work is nec
essary to put them in good con-
dition.
Some road improvement plans
have been dropped temporarily,
Schmidt said, but the large proj-
ects are still on the program.
COLVER MAN GRADUATE
Walter Moretti, son of Mrs.
Catherine Moretti, of Colver, is
numbered among the district men
to be graduated from Milwaukee

certificate.
