STATE CRUSHER
SHOULD BE CONTINUED
Attitude of State Democratic
Convention and Counties De
siring Rock For Roads.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 8.—State
Highway Commissioner Dye is
greatly elated over the incorpor
ation in the Democratic state
platform of a declaration to the
affect that “We favor the opera
tion of rock crushers by the state
highway commission, at which
crushers such state convicts as
are not needed on the state farm
may be used.”
Friday afternoon three inter
ventions were filed in Pulaski cir
cuit court in the case of the
State vs- State Highway Com
mission, a suit brought by inter
ested parties in the name of the
state to enjoin the operation of
the crusher. These interven
tions are by the Directors of
Road Improvement District No.
2 in Lincoln county, A- J. Walls,
county judge of Lonoke county,
and Chas. B. Coe, county judge
of Jackson county. Half a doz
en others will follow of a similar
character.
These interventions ask that
the work of crushing rock for
the use of road builders in the
state. commenced several
months ago by the State High
way Commission, be continued.
The following allegations are
made:
“That on account of the nre
vailing high price of rock prior
to the creation of the State
Highway Commission and the
operation of a rock crusher for
the purpose of furnishing crush
ed stone for road purposes, it
was impossible to buy said rock
and carry on said improvements
at the excessive price placed
thereon by rock crushers doing
business in the state of Arkan
sas.
| “Intervenor further states
that prior to the establishment
of the rock crusher and its oper
ation by the State Highway Com
mission - county and
the various road districts there
in were compelled to pay to the
rock crushers then in operation
their fixed price ranging from
$1.00 to $1.25 per cubic yard for
all rock purchased for the con
struction and maintenance of
public highways in said county
and for the construction and
maintenance of bridges and cul
verts in said county; that by
reason of such excessive prices
said county and road districts
were unable to construct perma
nent rock roads only to limited
extent as said prices rendered
road building and bridge build
ing almost prohibitive.
“That since the establishment
of said State rock crusher by
Act of the Legislature and its
operation by the State Highway
Commission, Jackson county and
the various road districts there
in are able to purchase rock for
road, bridge and culvert build
ing purposes at from 65 cents to
75 cents per cubic yard, and by
reason thereof now have in con
templation the repairing and
building of certain roads in said
county, as well as the repairing
of certain roads, bridges and
culverts.”
It is pointed out that if the
Commission be enjoined from op
erating the crusher, it will
greatly inconvenience the county
and road districts.
