From Saiuriiayt Daily
The chamber of commerce held one
of its most pleasing meetings of the
summer season last night at the audi
torium of the public library and
despite the not altogether plasant
night there were quite a large num
br in attendance at the session and
great interest shown in the various
committee reports and discussions
that followed and with the eloquence
of a Pat Harrison and forcefulnes
of a Tom Walsh. President Davis,
(not John W. guided the meeting
through the verbal rocks to a most
successful close.
At the opening of the meeting L.
W. Lorenz read a very complete re
port of the activities of the Fourth
of July committee and showed the re-

scoutmaster and were also under the
regulations prescribed by the camp
that instilled into the boys the
necessary discipline that was re
quired to maintain the camp in the
proper and orderly form that it
should be.
The Scouts had a regular routine
prescribed for them in their stay in
the camp that provided useful train
ing in the scout work as well as the
different recreations that added the
spice of fun to the outing and the
camp duties that covered guard and
kitchen police as a part of the ser
vice of each of the boys.
Most of the Scouts have a tanned
and sunburned appearance that tells
very clearly of the days spent in the
open, and while a part of their stay
was marred by rain, as a whole
they had one of the times that are
connected with "the days of real
sport."

Commissioner George Parley stated
that a meeting was planned between
the Cass and Sarpy county commiss
ioners and the state engineer in the
next few weeks when they would
: meet with T H. Pollock the owner
of the present bridge. There was
more or less discussion on this mat
ter and on motion it was adopted
that it was the senBe of the meet
ing that should the commissioners
and the owner of the bridge with the
state engineer fall to agree on terms
of settlement that the proposition of
j voting bonds for the payment of the
: county's share of a bridge be placed
on the ballot at the coming fall
election. Mr. Davis stated that he
had conversed with Mr. Pollock who
' had very frankly stated that the
bridge had been a good investment!
and that he was not opposed in any
, way to the desire of the county or
: Vate to secure a free bridge and did j
not feel that there was any reason
I why this should not be.

dustries for the city, the really most

well stated that the city should rea-1
outside of the crossings as it was
necessary to levy the cost of the
w;ilks in taxes against the properity.
A graveled road was more beneficial
than even a sidewalk in getting to
jand from the cemetery and could bo
paid for better by the city. A part
I of the road of street was in the
county on the south side of the road
and bordered by the city limits on
the north.
On the discussion of the cost of
graveling. Mr. Baird stated that a
.four inch surface was estimated to
cost near $4,000 a mile. Mr. J. H.
McMaken stated that bids had be n
let in Sarpy county a few days ago
for 33 3-10 per yard in gravel roads.
It was decided to make some estimate
as to the graveling of the road as
well as the proposed sidewalk.
The old swimir.in' pool that refuses
to down was again brought forth
and furnished a very warm discus
sion pro and con over the question
of doing something now toward
having a pool next year as the ver
bal warfare of the past few months
has placed the question of a pool
this year beyond the possibilities.
President Dnvis stated that the lat
est opinion of the city attorney had
been against the city allowing the
use of Washington park for the pool
and that if the pool was desired for
next year there should be something
started this season.
One of the members stated that
h park site had never been a popular
one and was only urged because of,
the fact that it was the most econo
mical at the time as saving the pur
chase price of a site. For several
weeks the park site had been aban
doned and there were two other
places being considered in the hopes
of getting some results and these
i were the former Tom Parmele prop
erty and the J. W. S;;ge pasture in
the south part of the city.
President Davis said that he had
talked over the proposition with Mr.
Sage and who was in a mood to do
all possible to help in the work and
offered his property at a reasonable
figure and was also willing to aid by
taking stock In the company if
necessary.
L. W. Lorenz pointed out that
water was the big problem to secure
as cheaply as possible and said that
the sinking of wells should be look
ed into by those having the propo
sition in charge.
It was finally decided to refer the
pool question back to the committee'
to look over the additional sites and
get some direct information on the
matter.
In discussinc the proposition of
better facilities at the Missouri
Pacific Mr. Charles Staska. the actlnc
atrcnt said the company was plan
ing to have water installed in the
station and hoped to have other Im
provements made.
Just in trie last few moments of;
the meeting the wheel tax matter
was brought up and a sharp d is-1
cussion started hut as the hour was
growing late (resident Davis gave
the thumbs down sign and the meet
iug adjourned.
CROSS STATE ON
GRAVEL HIGHWAYS
AN ASSURED THING
Nebraska Learns From California
the Lesson That Advertising and
Goods. Certain to Bring People.
The time is ne:;r when Nebraska
will have two continuous cross-state
highways of gravel one across the
rich South Platte country and one
swinging thru the scenic North
Platte section. George Abel, paving
contractor who operates extensively
in this and In bordering states, is of
the opinion that thN accomplishment

lesson from California the lesson
that good roads and advertising arei
prime assets in drawing people
holding some of them and causing
others to plan on coming again.
Approximately ISO miles of gravel i
roadwaygoes over the contract table
this week in the home counties.
Most of these miles are along the'
highways. Fifteen miles here and
eighteen miles there at a clip with
here and there a county completely j
graveled, indicates how rapid tliei
spend becomes.
In Buffalo county, the contract for
eighteen miles of highway graveling
was let Tuesday. Clay county let
twelve miles Wednesday. Jefferson
lets in the neighborhood of fifteen i
miles on Thursday. It is a busy
time for county commissioners. This
accounts for the letting in the home
offices rather than at the state
house.
There remain but a few strips to
be built along the Lincoln highway
in order that it be up-to-the-minute
cross -state speedway.
In Sarpy county, something new
has been undertaken. It is a prece
dent in way of good roads not
within the federal aid classification.
The commissioners of that county
let a contract Tuesday for fifteen
miles of graveling. The projects to
be handled in the same manner as
thru creation of improvement dis
tricts In cities. Improvement dis
trict bonds are Issued and sold.
The building of gravel roads par
ticularly the demand for improved
side roads which cannot draw fed
eral aid, is token to indicate pros
perity and improved ceneral condi
tions. Mr. Abel gives expression to
th" thought in the following:
"When you go out over the state
and 'see streams of automobiles trav
eling east and west over the high
way? and whn you find that in
practically every town end city
hotels are filled for the night, you
decide that conditions in general
must be reasonably prosperous."

Mr. Clement said careful investi
gation of the Iowa road commission
showed that the same gasoline that
would carry fourteen ton miles over
a dirt road, would transport twenty
one ton miles over gravel and thirty
one ton miles over pavement.
"The average car will cost l.S
cents a mile for gasoline over dirt
and 1.2 cents over gravel, a saving
of .6 cents a mile." said Mr. Clement.
"The man who pays IS cents a gal
lon for driving over dirt gets enough
added mileage over pavement to re
duce that cost to 12 cents."
The good roads association willj
ask tne legislature for a 2-cent gaso
line tax next year. Mr. Clement said.
That would yield 2 million dollars a
year to add to the 3 and one-half
million dollars a year coming from
license fees for road Improvement.
