FAVORS STATE 1 FOR
Fifty-six votes were cast In the
kouse Tuesday afternon for the state
add project in the building of bridges
more than 175 feet In length. Evans
f Adams, In a lengthy explanation
f his vote against this plan, declared
there would be no limit to expend
itures the state would be asked to
make under the provisions of the bill,
'house roll No. 274, by Cronlng. The
measure went through, however, with
the number - of voted stated, only
thirty-four being cast against it.
The Cronln act provides for a year
ly state levy of one-fifth of a mill to
be expended in the construction of
bridges. The state is to pay half and
the respective counties the other half.
All of the representatives from coun
ties bordering the Platte river, ex
cept those from two or three eastern
unties, which already have bridges,
lined up in support of the measure.
The Lancaster delegation voted
solidly for the bill. Douglas county
split its votes about equally for and
against it.
The explanation by Evans, which
caused something of a sensation by
is unexpected showing of what the
irtate wlil have to take care of under
this bill, was as follows:
"I am opposed to this bill. If it be
comes a law the state would be re
quired to pay half the cost of bridges
toeross the following streams:
Republican, Frenchman, Platte,
North and South Platte, North, South
.nd Middle Loup, Big Blue, Little
Blue, West Blue, Big and Little Ne
maha, Elkhorn, North Fork, Eikhorn,
Oalamo, Niobrara, Keya Faha and
White a total of eighteen rivers
flowing through or bordering ninety
counties some counties having more
1ban one stream.
"As this bill places no limit on the
t umber of bridges that the state shall
assist in building, nor any rule to de
termine which applications should be
given preference, It can hardly be
doubted that the. cost to the state for
building and maintenance in the next
irve years would be enormous. Fur
thermore, it would be unfair to re

morning to get some repairs for the

Platte Gravel company's pits, three
miles oast of Cedar Creek. Some
criminal broke tho door of the engine
room night before last and commit
ted depredations by smashing up the
engine bo badly that It was useless
yesterday. The dastard broke the
governor off the englno, smashed the
lubricators and stole the top off th
pump and snashed the machinery up
generally. Tho damage to the ma
chinery and engine and pump
amounted to a considerable sum, and
the plant had to be shut down for
two days at least, throwing nine men
out 0? work for the two days.
The party who did tho mischief M
thought to bo In the vicinity and It is
thought that the Beatrlco blood
hounds will be brought up and the
criminal hunted down. Twice before
the engineer found that the engine
and pump had been tampered with
by having many of the burrs loosen

tho crime Is apprehended he will b
