Hone to Crystallize Sentiment.
Last year Hemingford and Hero
were both strongly in favor of the
road up the track, which the commis
sioners had promised to build out of
county funds in the event it was not
made a stnte. rond. It li believed that
the Hemingford meeting will crystal
lize the sentiment in favor of this
road, and that the commissioners .vil'
be made to sec by their constieucnt;
that state aid should go to 'die most
direct route.
Incidentally, something should be
done toward getting together. It if
possible, of course, for the state au
thorities to step in ami construct roads
in event a disagreement should ensue,
but under the present conditions, w!-.r
both sides pulling against each other,
the county as a whole suffer. The
state aid funds in Box Butte county,
it is estimated, will provide for the
maintenance of 110 miles of state airi
road in the county. The cost of nain
tenance is estimated at $110 per mite
per year practically the same
amount as it takes to build road 'n the
first place. This county now h.i but
twenty-six mile of road receiving
state aid.
J. S. Rhein made the proposal at I V
Tuesday evening meeting to hold a
get-toirether meeting in Hemingford.
where there would be a better oppor
tunity of getting a good delegation out
nnd ascertaining the sentiments of
that community without error. Pres
ident Glen Miller of the chamber of
commerse was asked to arrange fo a
meeting, and Wednesday morning, in
company with Lloyd C. Thomas, and
Thue Miller, met with Hemin-rford
men and completed plans for a meet
ing at 7:30 at American legion hall.
Mr. Miller's Statement.
Mr. Miller expressed a desire, while
lit Hemingford, to see a good atten
dance at the meeting. He issued a
statement to the Hemingford Ledger,
which read as follows:
"At a meeting of teh members of
the Alliance chamber ot commerce
held Tuesday evening, it was decided
that it would be a mighty good idea
for the citizens of the county, from
i.ll p:uts of the county, Loth farmers
iind huines men, to map nut a tiiTin
ite nud prop-rum wlreh our board of
county roinmiMsioners v t.uM le le-iUe-ted
to follow.
"We certainly desire that thi she
d(ne fairly and honestly fer I bflieve
that the farmers of the county and
the citizens of Hemingford, Beira and
Alliance should have u voice in the
selecting of the roads upon which the
money raided from tares levied Uon
them rliould be expended.
"Perhaps some of our ritiirns are
not aware of the fact that there Ifl
approximately $51,000 of federal nid
from funds available for u.c in the
county but that if these funds are not
used nv the end of 1 am advised
that they will revert to the use of
other counties which will make use of
them in accordance with state laws.
"We expect to have a good delega
tion from Allinnce nt the meeting to
be held in Hemingford Friday night
and would like very much to meet with
a large number of the citizens from
the central anil north part of the
county in order that there may be a
f ree nnd projier discussion f nil essen
tial problems touching on the roud sit
uation and in order that the best in
terests of all may be served . We cer
tninly do appreciate the interest and
courtesy shown on our visit to Hem
ingford this morning.''
