NORTH CAROLINA ROAD T
CONTRACTS AWARDED--TOTAL
OVER $7,000,000
Contracts for the construction of
roads in North Carolina, totaling$7,
474,289.29, have been awarded by
the state highway commision since
the first, of the year, It is expected
that the contracts awarded by the
commission during the yearjvill be
iff excess of $10,000,0 00. -
This large expenditure covers the
contract costs for the construction of
468.18 .miles of- highway. " Of : this
arge sum, $354,808.83 is for bridge"
construction and $130,000 for resur
facing, while the remainder is ehtire-
y for road projects.
That North - Carolina was able to
go ahead at this pace with her road
construction has been made possible
through the authorization by the last
general assembly of the issuahcex.of
$5.0,000,000 in state Jiighway bonds,
with the. proviso that $10,000,000 in
bonds annually will be issued . and
sold to supplement other road funds
in covering the contracts let during
that year. H. O. Joslin, assistant to
the chairman of the state - highway
commission of North Carolina, states
that it is the plan of the commission
to expend the total issue of Jf50,000,
000 within a period of about five
years, and. that contracts a little in
excess of $10,000,000 will be let the
first year..
By reason of the large contracts
which the state has been able to let
since the authorization of her state
Jond issue,. the. roadV letting in that
state is bringing contractors from all
over the country to bid on the work,
so that is getting the very lowest pos
sible price per mile. At a recent let
ting 150 bids' were received. As
manias 40 different contractors sub
mitted bids on one job. Contracting
firms of national prominence which
have been engaged in the construc
tion of large office buildings have an
nounced their intention of bidding on
some of the large projects to be
awarded in North Carolina in the
near future. Of the contracts let
this year, 263.85 miles, costing $2,
974,412.92, is on federal aid pro
jects, and 204.33 miles?"' costing $4,-
015,067.54 is on state projects. A
difference in the cost per mile be
tween the federal and state aid pro
jects will be noted.
With reference to the mainten-
I !a.nce of state highways in North
Carolina, the state highway commis
sion has taken over for maintenance
in excess of 4,000 miles of the total
of 6,000 miles in thestate system,
and expect in a comparatively few
months to be able to take over the
remainder.
: The automobile license -fees are
available for this . purpose. It will
be the purpose of the highway com
mission to keep the mileage of the
state highway system, in so far as
possible, traveling throughout the
year.
