sufficient.

Last week when W.. A. Scott was
preparing to deposit some money re
ceived from the sale of his business
here. Mrs. Scott informed him she
had saved a few dollars, which they
might as well put in the bank, and
forthwith produced J2.700 which she
had put away from time to time in
anticipation of a rainy day. Con
sidering the fact that the only thing
some people save for a rainy day is
rubbers, and many not that much, the
feat of Mrs. Scott is remarkable and
this handsome sum will add material
ly to their bank role and come in
handy when they decide to go into
business again.

to a thoroueh and
and future paving
on these highways will be under the
direct supervision of state engineers
appointed by the state highways
commission, according to resolutions
adopted by the joint good roads com
mittee yesterday at its meeting held
in Omaha yesterday. George E. John
son, state engineer, was present and
concurred in the action.
This is the inevitable outcome of
the squabble over the paving work
now in progress on the O. L. D. road,
where it is claimed the ration of sand
and cement is not up to specifications
ami cement blocks will be taken
from all three of the highways and
fenl to Professor Mickey, of the Uni
versity of Nebraska to be tsted, it is
stated. Should these tests not con
form to the specifications of the re
spective contracts the paving will be
condemned.
"The activities of this committee
have just begun." declared Vice
Chairman Nesbit. "We are deter
mined to see that the taxpayers of
Ibis city, already
dciied. get some
money."
In an interview prior to the meet
ing State Engineer Johnson reiter
ated his statements that he thought
Lew Adams, county surveyor, was re
sponsible for tb conditions discov
ered in the Lincoln highway paving.!
The resolution refering to the ap-j
pointment of engineers to watch the
paving will be submitted to the
Ihuiglas county commissioners and ;
they will call upon the highway com-:
mission to mala- the appointments
according to the present schedule.
P.oth bodies, it is said, favor the ap
