As you are no doubt aware, some atx miles of con-| crete road was built out of joint funds furnished by the United States gov- ernment, the state of Wyoming, and the Midw: efintng company, lead- | ing from Casper toward Salt Creek, | & couple of years ago. You will recall | that the road from the cement high- way to Salt Creek is usally very bad and at some times in the year almost impassable. As high as 800,000 pounds of freight has been hauled over thit road per day by means of trucks. Dar- ing the winter months, this hanling elackens up, and increases again in the summer. “Of the expenditures pronosed to be made for the extension of the pnv- tng of this roed. The Midwest Refin- ing company has agreed to contribute $170,000 to a fund for this purpose, and the United States government ts to contribute about $230,000. ‘The! state of Wyoming cannot contribute | anything to this fund, as it has no/ funds available at this time. “At the conference, it developed | that Mr. Johnson favored continuing the cement road from the present ter- minus. The cost of the original ce- ment road was about $35,000 a mile.| fo complete the remaining distance of about 40 miles, with an 18-foot cc ment highway, would cost at the game ratio, $1,400,000, but the cost ‘would no doubt exceed this amount, @ue to the much longer haul of ma- terials to the farther end of the road. Mr. Johnson rec izes that this price is prohibitive, and therefore recommerids that a cement road, nine feet in width, be built from the pres- far as such a fund rmit. ent terminus of $500,000 wi “This, he es' would cost $21,- @00 per mile, or a ‘total of $840,000. For the purpose of trucks and other vehicles passing on the road, he pro poses building shoulders, with the ce- ment road lying on one side. Mr. Severson of the state highway com- mission seems to coincide with Mr. Johnson's views. “On the other hand, the engineers of the Midwest Refining company, who have gone into this matter very thoroughly, figure that acement. road nine feet In width would cost not less than $27,000 per male, or $1,080,000. Also they consider that such a high- way is impractical, for the reason that trucks and other vel stantly meetin gand passing each oth- er on this road und usually in the epring of the year, and other seasons when he have moisture of conse quence, a heavy truck would become mired if it had to come off the ce ment driveway. They also consider the cement construction not suffic- fentty durable for the survice requir ed of a road between Casper and Salt Creek. In fact, the six miles that has|% giready been constructed has broken ‘up to such an extent that it has re- quired constant repair and it is antic {pated will have to be relaid entirely fm the next two or three years. I am informed that the cost of repairing this six o rseven miles of cement road is in the neighborhood of $3,000 per month.

Standard Oil company has offered to supply the asphalt at about 400 de- |grees at its plant, at cost. “This sort of macadam has been used very extensively in California, and I am informed that it has been used with a great deal of success. There are a number of government bulletins out on the subject, among them the following. “Construction of Macadam Roads.” Bulletin No. 39, by Albert B, Fletch- er. “Repair and Maintendnes of High- ways.” I. Hewes. ‘Macadam Roads.” by Albert B. Fletcher. “I understand that the California state highway commission, has also {s- sued a bulletin on the subject, which I have not available at this time but I will attempt to secure a copy and forward it to you. “The big problem that the refining companies in Wyoming have had has been the disposition of the by-prod- ucts. ‘The producers of so-called black ofl or heavy oil, have confronted the same situation, in that the percentage of gaso! that it has ot been profitable in most cases to refine the oil, and thereby has prevented a market for their prod- uct. -|oped in Wyoming, aiscovered.

The other two mem- bers of the state highway commission were not present, and have not yet expressed their views on the subject. I have talked with Mr. S. W.
