Includes bibliographical references. “This publication introduces a new series of annual price indexes which measure the movement through time of prices paid by provincial and federal governments for highway construction done under contract. Both base-weighted and current-weighted indexes are presented herein for the period 1956 to 1959. The highway indexes represent an important extension to an area not previously covered by price statistics. While compromise is an unavoidable component of price indexes it is noteworthy that in this series one major corn-promise which is common to most price Indexes of construction work has been avoided. The bid prices which are indexed represent the prices paid for units of work put in place. This is unlike the usual input type index upon which it is so often necessary to rely, wherein labour and material prices must be used to represent, as best they can, in-place prices"--Preface, p.
