A change in the procedure of the
State Highway Department in let
ting contracts was urged yesterday
before the meeting of the Highway
Engineers here by W. M. Jagoe of
Denton.
Jagoe said, “If the department
cquld by November knpw the hot
mix adphalt jobs to be done the
next year and start letting these
jobs by November and continue
through December and Januarjl,
the contractors would know what
to plan for and could be ready tb
go to work by March first and
have the best part of the yeajr
ahead, the time of tlfe year of
lowest cost.”
He said that each job should ndt
have a limit as to the number df
working days, instead require that
it be “completed by December first
or in the case of the extreme nor
thern patr of the state by October
first or fifteenth.!’!
The 371 delegates to the short
course which lasts through Thurs-
day, vj’ere weilcomed to A&M bjy
President Gibb GilchHst Wednes
day. Delegates were told in the
opening session that the ?700 miles
of completed farm to market roads
in Texas represented one-fourth pf
all completed farm to market roads
in thp United States by A. C.
Leonard of the public roads Ad
ministration in Washington.
Closer cooperation by and be
tween the state and county was
urged by Leonard to make ijetter
the chances of securing federal aid
for such roads.
