RIVERSIDE Most of the farmers here are plowing corn, which is looking very good, considering the weather. James Clark and family and C. E. Bush and family called on Bert Vandercar and family Sunday evening. The filling in and application of the steam roller to the rock road has filled a long-felt want; the improvement is great.

Bulletin No. 2 Why We Are Opposing A Government Armor Plant To the People: Some people say that the very fact that the Bethlehem Steel Company is so aggressively fighting the proposal to build a Government armor plant is conclusive proof that the Company is seeking to assure for itself the “vast profits” derived from private manufacture. The fact is that armor making is the least profitable feature of steel manufacture. The reason we oppose a Government plant is very simple. It is this: Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have invested over $7,000,000 in our armor plant; That plant is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant is built the usefulness of our plant is destroyed. It would be good business for us to make armor for the Government at any price over and above the actual shop cost, RATHER THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. - . i * ♦ • We do not seek to save big profits; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plant—itself built solely for the use of the Government —from going to the scrap heap. To do that, we are prepared to agree for any period to any terms of manufacture which the Federal Trade Commission shall say absolutely protects the Government of the United States. CHAS. M. SCHWAB, Chairman t, .LI C. 1 eugene g. grace, PreaMent l>€tiileneni Steel Company

Never Again (he High-Priced Country Road. After paying an average price of $14,000 a mile for 180 miles of concrete roads, Maryland has departed from what is termed the standard concrete road and in some cases has reduced construction cost to about $8,500 a mile, this having been done with the conviction that the cheaper roads will laAt indefinitely if given a bituminous wearing surface. Thus the state has taken a long step toward restricting concrete to foundation purposes exclusively. Had the more recent . Maryland roads been built with the latter purpose in view and provided with a two-inch wearing surface of asphalt macadam, there would have resulted the type of road Monroe county, Mich., is building for less than $12,000 a mile, the Michigan road having concrete curbs as well as a five-inch concrete foundation.

The radical change in Maryland’s policy, the building of hundreds of miles of bituminous top roads on concrete bases in California and the adoption of the greatly improved type in Michigan, all presage the decline of country roads costing from $15,000 to $20,000 a mile. These prices are prohibitive in many localities, but when the materials that distinguish our present separate and costly type of roads can be so combined as to give better service at a saving of $2,000 to $5,000 a mile, we obtain what may well be called the American standard road. A natural asphalt and good stone make an ideal and resilient wearing surface, and the concrete provides an unyielding foundation. It having been demonstrated that this composite type of road can be built for $12,000 or less per mile, the taxpayers are certain to adopt it once its true merit and economy are understood. —Good Roads Press Bulletin.
