SEEKING COST OF ROAD CONSTRUC TION IN NEBRASKA Special Committee Sends Blanks to County ClerksHopes to Get Data within Short Time Blanks are being sent out from the state house to Nebraska county clerks calling for a report on road work. Along with these blanks a letter is enclosed stating that at tbe special session of the legislature a resolution adopted by the house and senate es tablished a committee made up of the governor, attorney general an state auditor and one member from each branch of the legislature charged with making an investigation of tbe road and highway systems of tbe state for tbe purpose of ascertaining the comparative costs of construction of such roads by tbe counties and the state. The report of this com mittee is to be made to the next se.c elon of the legislature. The attention of the county clerks is Invited to the following: First Such a comparison as con templated by the resolution is impos sible without complete data of the amounts expended by tbe variout counties for road and highway pur poses. Second The number of miles con structed and maintained by both the counties and the state is necessary. Third In order to make a fair comparison it is necessary that tbe committee have more or less detailed information as to the kind and char acter of construction and mainte nance carried on by both the coun ties and the state. The blank questionaire is sub mitted to county clerks for the pur pose of securing statistice desired. It is suggested that ten days is a suf ficient time in which to secure the information asked for. The statutes provide that each county shall keep a record of each road its plat, expenses and charges made against that road. The coun ties are required to establish the of fice of county highway commissioner who shall keep a record of each bridge and road by number which shall show the cost of construction and maintenance. The committee concludes that: "Assuming the county records have been kept according to law by tbe road overseers, by the county high way commissioner and by the county board, it ought to be easily possible to take each road number as set forth in the questionnaire, to transfer from your books the data called for by the questionnaire. "If tbe county records or the high way commissioner or road overseers have not kept their records la the form outlined in tbe sections of tbe statute above cited, you are requested to advise tb is committee to that ef fect, and if tbe information submit ted on the questionnaire is submitted from any other basis than a copy of your record, you are asked to advise the commission of thqt fact. "The committee will be indeed grateful for your time and service in compiling this information and be lieve that the conclusions which it will be possible to form after a care ful compilation of the information received from the various counties will be of great benefit to the people of the state during the next few years by enabling them to determine what is the most efficient, economical and desirable method of .carrying on our program of highway construc tion." - The request for information is sent out. from the office of the Attorney General, who is secretary of the com mittee. The blanks ask for a record of mileage, cost of construction and cost of maintenance of county roads, and the total expenditures for road purposes from all funds. 1 -The same information relating to bridges and culverts is asked for. Your ad will carry punch if yea write it as a plain "seEing talk" in stead of trying to fast it tip with frills and exmperationi. Poultry Wanted!
