Further Analysis Shows Roads Being Built At Extravagant 00st of $25,000 Per Mile

Sill-Ill furthering my investigations into the costs of the Campbell Governmenifs so called “cheap” highways I unconsciously stumbled upon these well concealed and’ 1 "light say purposely hidden facts. - In the Public Works Report 1938 page 263, the follow. ing item appears:- _ Project T 1-1—Paving-Surnmerslde to Tilnlflh- -— — — — — — — - - - - - - -_s1ae,41o.31 On pages 29-30 of the “Chief Engineer's Report I find that this money was spent for the “preparatory work and paving of 12.9 miles of road, showing an average cost of $15,226.30 per mile for this work. On inquiry and investiga- tion I ound out that this was the contract described as from “ ummerslde to Inverness School.” In the Public Works Report 1988 page 263, the follow. ing other item appearm- . Priljeiit T 1—36-—Suhg"rading—Summerside to Inverness School - - - - -- - _.. .... _ _ 390332401 Onpages 29-30 of the “Chief Engineers” Reportil find ‘but this money was spent for the sub-grading of 1.6 plus .7 or 9.3 miles ‘of road, showing an average cost of $9,- 766.89 per mile for this work. Thus we have the total cost per “finished” mile of the work on this project or contract as , follows:- Preparatory work and paving - —$15,226.80\per mils Sub-smdins- - — — - -- -.- -- 9,7ss.s9 per mile

Total cost per mile - - - - - -- '_$24,993_19

In arriving at this total I just took the figures as shown in the “Chief Engineer's Report” and did not in- clude any unpaid amounts such as 10 per cent still due contractors for paving and gruelling etc. Had these amounts been paid in full the total cost of the finished road per mile for this section would be well over $25,- 000.00. . ' In trying to verify these figures in the Public Ac- counts I was amazed ie find that on page 76—Appendix 9

ers -the accounts of the two paving contracts were given as a

total as was also the sub-grad costs. I was lead ie be- lieve that this was done in, d ve so that the enormous cost per mile as .I.have shown above would never be rs- vealed.
