COUNTY ROADS IMPROVED
County Engineer Adami Telli of the
Work Done by HU Department
During; the Tear.
HE HAS 1TO USE FOR MACADAM
Folio wini Is a psrtial report made by
County Engineer Louis Adams, of the
work done on Douglas county roads
and bridges during 1915:
"The last season was the hardest we
have experienced in road work, owing to
the incessant heavy rains. In many cases
the work had to be done over and over.
"During the last sesson the county hss
opened l't-mlle of new rosd at a cost
of 2600 for land taken. We have done
57,790 ruble yards of deep grading at a
cost of 29.9)11.15, or 17'4 cents per cubic
yard; have spent $5,963.94 for other grad
ing; have built twenty-two steel and
concrete bridges, ten wood bridges and
one re-inforced concrete arch, costing
$1,513 19.
"The steel bridges cost S4l.0uS.15. the
wood bridges. t3.SM.37, and repelr work,
I5.3S2. As In 1914. all the bridges have
been built under the plena and specifica
tions furnished by the state engineer.
Tells of Work none.
"We hsve hsd two side machines and
one elevated grader grading roads, fifty
one miles having been finished by the
side machines, st a total coat of f3.9?,
an average cost of $76.94 per mile. Forty
one miles were finished by elevated
grader at a total cost of $5,180, and cost
per mile of $126 34. We have had forty
two drags working under contract at 75
cents per mile. They have dragged &00H
miles at a total cost of J4.JO3.70. This
does not Include work done by the road
overseers In their respective road dis
tricts. "We have expended $16,837.28 on the
permanent roads of the county. This
includes earth work on the sides and
cost of tarvla. Would recommend that
the county get away from macadam aa-,
soon ss possible ss the nutomobl.es
make it Impossible to keep them In re
pairs. There are five bridges under contract
but not completed, among which are three
Klkhorn river bridges, wsshed out and
damaged by floods during the last year
210 feet at the Noyes bridge, 140 feet at
the Burke bridge and 130 feet at the east
end of the Snyder bridge. There is a
grading contract of 30.000 cubic yards
not completed on the Fries lake road.

IXA1)I.G CIIITE AT PETEKS 5ULL, OMAHA.
MANY important improvements have been made at the big alfalfa
feed plant of the M. C.Peters Mill Co. in Omaha the past year.
Some of these will be found in the accompanying pictures.
The grain storage capacity has been more than doubled with six very
large new concrete storage tanks which are modern in every respect
and conceded to be the finest grain storage tanks in the middle west.
Additional tracks have been added to take care of the fast growing business and this feature now com
prises a total of fifteen tracks, capable of holding a very great number of cars.
One of the most important additions is a special loading chute. Cars can be loaded on each side of
same and this feature, in addition to other facilities for that purpose, makes it possible to load at least twenty
cars at one tme.
The storage capacity for the molasses is being increased by another large steel molasses tank.
The handling of the details of the business will be greatly improved by a new office building that is
now under construction and is adjacent to the big plant. The entire general office force will be removed to
this new building early in the spring.
This past week the company has held in Omaha a convention of all of its salesmenthese coming from
the New England states on the north to Florida on the southand the intermediate states up to the
Missouri river. -
