Too High Says State Engineer
Associated Press report from Austin dated January 23 says H. J. Cox, state highway maintenance engineer, testified in the Hoffman Construction Company suit that a single asphalting treatment should cost 12 to 14 cents per square yard as reasonable, and 20 to 24 cents for a two course treatment with the second applied within two weeks. He added 30 cents could be reasonable if several months elapsed between applications, though such wait would be impractical.
