Paving Costs Prompt City Officials to Explain Amarillo Rates
City officials face questions over sharp rises in paving prices with Amarillo paying as high as 3.30 per yard earlier, now bids at 2.25 per yard. Mayor Thompson and City Engineer Stanley say records justify the change and bid comparisons show declines from 8.10 to 8.30 for six inch concrete in 1927-28. Contract awards include Clem Anderson at 2.75 per yard on South Lincoln and Wilmering and Mullings at 2.25 on Sixteenth Street with seven bids. Gravelled street bids average 0.80 per yard, down from 1.00. The city spent about 1 million on paving in two years, with a roughly 300,000 saving versus earlier prices.
