Oklahoma City, Jan. 15—Okla-
homa Chapter of the Associated
General Contractors of America
held their regular monthly meet-
ing at the Savoy Cafe, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, at which there
were present about seventy-five
contractors.
The meeting was addressed bv
Captain J. B. Fontleroy, Engineer
in charge of the road construction
work, under the Federal Aid Act.
Captain Fontleroy outlined clear-
ly the methods of the Govern-
| ment and the relation of the State,
Nation and Contractor to each
other. Much valuable information
was brought out in the discussion
which followed.
During this meeting many sub-
jects were discussed which were
of great interest to the members
and also to the public.
The Chapter members are in
great hopes that the results to be
attained from their efforts will
mean greatly reduced construc-
tion costs, and greatly increased
efficiency all of which should
mean a substantial benefit to the
tax paying public which means
every man, woman and child in
the stale.
The principal topics discussed
had to do with the conditions
surrounding, Transportation, Ma-
terial and Labor which are the
three principal elements involved
in Highway construction work.
