Ambitious Program For Road Building Expect to Spend $50,000,000 on State Highway in Two Years The highway "speed-up" program of Governor Young and B. B. Meek, director of the department of public works, is now under way, according to a statement made today by the latter official. Attention has hitherto been centered by the division of highways upon the early completion of field and office engineering work that must antecede the actual call for bids. This preliminary work has been and is being completed on a number of projects and bids are now being asked with increasing frequency. In this preliminary work, Mr. Meek states, the engineers of the division of highways have been instructed to give projects where free labor will be employed priority over projects contemplating the use of convict labor. The road program for the two-year period from July 1, 1927, to June 30, 1928, which is now well launched, contemplates the expenditure on the state highways of approximately $50,000,000. The distribution of this work as it affects employment is of interest. The work is scattered over the whole state, every county in California being represented in the highway program. The widespread distribution of the work will be an important factor in the general prosperity of the state. It is of interest also to note that free labor will receive this $50,000,000, either in the form of wages or payments made for supplies manufactured by free labor, with the exception of $600,000. This latter amount will be paid in the form of wages to convicts employed on the roads; the sum being fixed by a legislative appropriation in that amount with the proviso that it must be used solely for the payment of wages to convicts. In addition to the wages paid convicts, Meek stated that federal aid funds totaling $2,250,000 had been allotted for road projects upon which convicts will be installed for more than three of said installment payments and that by reason of said defaults, the said Redlands Building-Loan Association did declare the whole amount of the indebtedness due and immediately payable and did demand in writing that said trustees proceed to sell said premises granted by said deed of trust according to the terms and conditions thereof, and; WHEREAS, there is now due and payable on the 1st day of March, 1928, to the said Redlands Building-Loan Association, the sum of $3777.61, such sum being the amount due on said promissory note and accrued interest, interest on delinquent installments and cost of recording notice of default, and the further sum of $50.00 trustees' fees under the said deed of trust, and the further sum of $100.00 attorneys fees, or a total of $327.61, and; WHEREAS, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2924 of the Civil Code of the State of California, said Redlands Building-Loan Association, the owner and holder of said note and trust deed, did_on the 19th day of November, 1927, cause to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California, and also in the office of the County Registrar of Titles, Orange County, California, notices of such default and its election to cause the property described in said deed of trust to be sold in accordance with the provisions thereof to satisfy said obligations, which notice of default and election to sell was duly recorded in Book 96, page 344 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of said Orange County, California, and as Document No. 8557 in the office of the County Registrar of Orange County, California, on Certificate No. 4596, Vol. 19, Page 83 of Register of Titles, Orange County, California, and; WHEREAS, more than three months have elapsed since the recordation of said notice and there now remains due and unpaid to the Redlands Building-Loan Association, as aforesaid, the sum of $327.61, in accordance with the provisions of said trust deed. NOW THEREFORE, notice is hereby given that W. T. Bill and A. E. Ball by virtue of the authority vested in them as trustees, will sell at public It is of interest also to note that free labor will receive this $50,000,000, either in the form of wages or payments made for supplies manufactured by free labor, with the exception of $600,000. This latter amount will be paid in the form of wages to convicts employed on the roads, the sum being fixed by a legislative appropriation in that amount with the proviso that it must be used solely for the payment of wages to convicts. In addition to the wages paid convicts, Meek stated that federal aid funds totaling $2,250,000 had been allotted for road projects upon which convicts will be employed. This sum, representing approximately four-fifths of the cost of convict projects, will be spent for superintendence, engineering, and other free labor used in connection with such work; for supplies and equipment necessary thereto; and for bridges and drainage structures on these projects, which will be built by contract. The wide distribution of this work is already a factor in relieving unemployment in a number of places in California. Mr. Meek stated. It is difficult, he continued, to make estimates of the number of men that will be employed in highway construction, inasmuch as this in its turn depends upon the rapidity with which contractors push the work. The general expression of contractors, however, is that they plan to rush work as rapidly as possible, filling up their crews with the number of men necessary to secure early completion of contracts. This policy on the part of contractors is due to the prospect of a large number of contract offerings and the desire of individual contractors to obtain as large a number as possible of these jobs for themselves. During the winter the number of convicts employed on road work was kept at a low figure. The total number of convicts in the three small camps maintained during the winter was at its largest in December, and then only 227 prisoners were so employed. New convict camps will be established during the spring and summer months until the full complement of 850 prisoners is at work. Convict employment will end there. With the fact known that the number of convicts who will be assigned to road work is limited, prisoners in San Quentin are besieging Warden Holohan for assignment to the work, and hundreds of convicts are urging their good record in prison as a reason for giving them the privilege of assignment to the convict road camps. The report that a camp is to be organized from Folsom inmates has resulted in a like demand there. The distribution of funds is in accordance with the budget announcement made in January. Free labor projects will be financed from gas tax funds, registration fees and federal aid funds. Gas tax revenues will not be used for convict work, the financing of these projects being limited to the $600,000 legislative appropriation to be disbursed for wages, and all allocation of federal aid funds to be used for free labor in connection with convict camp work and the purchase of supplies equipment.
