Mr Gray said that the cracking of Certain sections of roads constructed under the old specifications convinced engineers that the mixture was too rich in cement. After a series of tests with the new mixture, Mr. Gray said, it was decided to include it in the specifications for this year. The changes In the specifications) however, were not made until.after the approval of the district engineer for the Federal bureau of public roads had been obtained. Reduces Cost.

The new specifications will call for a cement content of 1.70 barrels for each cubic yard of the mixture. The old content was 1.91 Officials estimate that this change will result in a reduction of 10 cents in the cost of each square yard of road. Another change in the specifications will be a provision calling for a richer mixture in the concrete: base required for brick roads. This change will be from barrels of-cement a.cubic yard to 1.13 barrels. Officials estimate that this change will in the base costing about 2 mills more a square yard of pavement.

This change, however, is of little -importance, as no contracts for the construction of brick roads have been let by the because all bids for brick roads have been much higher than for. the cpncreje. type. The' specifications of the 'commission call for bids on three types of roads: Brick on a cement concrete base; bituminous, concrete on as-ceinerit concrete base, 'and. cement concrete.

All contracts let by the commission have been for the last named type of roads. An analysis of the bids submitted to the commission, officials reason for this action. A total of fifty-eight bids for concrete roads subroittted to the commission for various sections of highway shows an average cost of $29,800 a mile, Sight--bTds submitted for brick roads had an average cost of $42,400 a mile and nineteen bids submitted for asphalt roads sho.wed an. average cost of $39,000 a mile. These figures indicate that It would have cost -the commission on an average of $12,600 a mile more to have built brick roads instead of concrete, officials point out Used in Other States.

In addition to the cost item, officials say the other states are Concrete roads Is as of indicate, officials say, that approximately 85 per cent of the Federal aid road projects have been for the concrete roads, 11 per cent bituminous concrete and only about 4-per cent brick pavements. Brick interests- of "the state, which have opposed the-, policy of the commission, to bund concrete roads exclusively, "say" that it is unfair; to require the cement concrete base under brick pavements which is demanded by the specifications or the highway department. Engineers say, nowever, that it has been found unsatisfactory, under all conditions, to place bricks.on a stone base or directly on the- sub- grade; This point Is in controversy between engineers, it is said, and the state officials are being guided, they tlon hereafter will be wards. a roll call by Membership Campaign.

Taxpayers may be divided into four general classes--the wage earner or salaried class, business, and agricultural. Any form of compensation for personal services rendered by the wage earner is income, including salaries, wages, commissions, fees, and bonuses, pensions paid retired employes and tips.
