Columbus, Neb., March 7.—A plea that the state legislature of Nebraska, at its next regular session, enact a law providing for a gasoline tax of not leas than 2 cents a gallon was con tained In resolutions adopted here to day at the state convention of the {Nebraska. Lincoln Highway associa tion. Another provision of the resolutlens was that should the state pass such a measure, the funds derived from the tax should be used on roads where aid Is needed, but that the supervision of work on state roads is to be left with the various county boards. The tax money Is to be used for state roads only. Resolutions also were adopted i{rg Ing the state legislature to raise, by direct taxation, enough money to meet the federal road fund appropri ated for Nebraska by the United States government. Under present conditions It was pointed out, several millions of dollars are lying in the national treasury waiting for Ne braska to claim it for road improve ment. Town to Tdwn Canvass. A vote of thanks was extended to the state engineer. Roy- Cochran of Lincoln, for his co-operation in assist ing in the maintenance of the Lin coln highway.

"Get action from your county boards. "Start a publicity campaign. "We must get the highway in such a condition that the Omaha Automo bile club will not hesitate to route tourists over this road. "We shall see that a Lincoln high way guide for Nebraska Is printed. In this guide there will be two pages devoted to each county seat." Roy Cochran, JAncoln, state engi neer, said that if federal funds were to be obtained for the Lincoln high way In Nebraska, the grade crossings must be eliminated. He cited the sit uation In Colfax and Platte county, known as one of the worst spots In the entire transcontinental highway, where more than half a dozen grade crossing can be found over the main line of the Union Pacific. "Crossings will bo eliminated be tween North Platte and Kidney so that there will be a 123-mile stretch on one Bide, of the Union Pacific main line tracks," he said.
