REALTY MEN HEAR ABOUT THE BONDS IWell Telli of the Need of Voting for Money to ImproTe Country Rotdi. 1IABT ORGANIZATIONS IN FAVOR "Tha pmposod fi.Tononn good roads bonds for Douglas oniinty Is Important," said Clarka O. Powell In hlii talk before the Omnhi Real Estsfe enrhange Wednesday, "flrat because It will be a forerunner of flitting NebrAsha .in the map In the matter of good maos. Wo stand very low at present In the matter of (rood roads third from the last. In fact." Mr. Powell reviewed the history of tha agitation for thin rood roads bonda and pave figures a to cost of psvlng certain road. Among the Important mat ters 'n be ronslderrd. ha pointed out, are who shall bo retiponalblo for the spending of thin money? In whose hand ahall It be out? What kind of material ahall be used, and whep It ahall be apent? "We feel that the forty mllea of mac adnm rood now In Pougla pountr should flrat be torn up." ha said, "that aa much rf the material ahould bo uaed poaalble. but that thla should bo replaced with vit rified brick set on a concreto baaa. Thla forty mllea would coat approlmatljr Relieves la Brlrk. "Thera la no longer any question about It." continued Mr. Towell. "vltrlfled brick I the thin with which to pava, and tha macadam l a failure. It la costing about $',wo n year now to keep these old mac adam roads In repair, and what hava we? They are never In shape. On tha other hand, we have several atrtpa of vltrlfled brick raving In Omaha In good shana to day and laid down twenty-two years am." Mr. Powell contended the thing to do la to vote bo.ida new and build the road, lie held lh.ro la no ttae waiting for a state aid bill. If we get that eventually, as thirty-four states no- nave. It will then he all right to ue the atate aid In connection with tha expenditure of the unspent portion of the bond Issue It la proposed to vote, and In connection with the expenditure of tha unspent portion of future moncya for road building, but tnnt the taxpayers can 'oae nothing: by voting thia bond now and Grinning th work. ' The Cast. He floured that the Increaae In taxes to tha county would be $76,000 a year, which would be the interest on the bonda at 44 per cent Thla would mean an ln rrrnen of 1H mllla or 89 txnta on H.Ono. "If tha bonda are to be retired In thirty years." he said. "It would take 1 mill more, or a total of 60 eenta on 11.000. " The good roads committee of the Com mercial club favors the bond Issue. The Auto club la In favor of It. Mr. Powell ys the farmers of ti e county have been nounded out on the matter and found to be In favor of It, and an effort Is being made to get as many aa poaalble-of the representative: organisations In the city and county to go on record favoring It before the bonda must be voted upon. The Real Eatate esehang voted to make a consideration of thla question a pedal order of business at tha next meeting. It Is proposed to aubmft the bonda at the time the atate-wlde primary election Is held April IS.

In provisions, the outcome waa a gain of 5c to 15c. Kngllsh buyers In particular seemed to attach much Importance to the assumed tearish regarding the amount of farm reserves In the United States. Tem porarily, export demand appeared to have dried up, and it was. said dpalers In. areat Britain were relying on continued good slxed arivals at Liverpool as the British admiralty was operating 1.8X) re quisitioned ships. Anticipation of enlarged figures In tho United HtHtes visible supply report counted against the wheat hulls during the lust part of the day. In this con nection the fact was pointed that llttlo if any s gns of relief were yet. in siKlit ae to railroad embargoes at the seaboard. Favorable weather for the domestic crop, movement eased the com mnrket and alao did ralna In Argentina. Some what improved eastern demands, how ever, led to a subsequent rally. Trade In oats . was almost entirely of a local character. Sympathy was stxjwn lor the bearish action of other cereals. Higher prices on hogs carried up provi sions.

Although there we'e no, developments during today's short session of tne nmrket, stocks again were under the uncertain influences re sulting from the situation at Washington. Trnd mr was light to thr point of utter npHthy, snd altogether of profeawlonal ori gin. Kven tat elenient hesitated to as sume a definite stond and the net result which included variable los(S and a few gr.lna. was due not so much to fresh buying or selling as to the usual week-end settlement of ojtotanulng contracts. In the first half of the ss8.on a few specialties, chiefly Petroleum, Tobaccos and t 'uppers, were manipulated to higher levels, but tho balanie of the lift failed to respond to this movement.
