M. Gates of Philadelphia, chairman of the division, said that it was tke opinion of the engineering profession that the awarding of road building contracts in the spring caused avoidable waste. Mr. Hoover, he said, has been informed of this opinion. Unemployment would be reduced by the road building program, Mr. Gates said, by awarding highway contractd this' fall. These contracts in 1920, outside of towns and citles, involved approximately $450,000,000. “In this country there are.approxi- mately 2,225,000 miles of road work,” said Mr. Gates. “The primary system a large number of un consequent encouragement of high prices for both labor and material. winter,” said Mr. low peak season.” —_— AFTER SPEEDSTERS.

We might go into details and tell you of the advantages of buying the winter’s sup- ply of coal long before it is actually needed, but we are not in the coal business, and we believe you are familiar with these advan- tages. So we will only paraphrase the coal situation with our coat sale.
