INFORMATION CONCERNING
THE GOOD ROADS MEETING
About two weeks ago Dr. W. F.
Finley, president of the O’Neill Com
mercial Club, accompanied by John
Sullivan, chairman of the county
board of supervisors, attorney George
M. Harrington and supervisor John
Steinhauser drove to Grand Island,
where they attended the Nebraska
Good Roads meeting.
Representatives from Commercial
and Lions clubs and other civic organ
izations, and representatives from
various daily papers throughout the
state attended the meeting, which, it
was estimated, was the> largest of its
kind ever held in the state.
The outstanding work of the meet
ing was the endorsing of the state
road program for the future as out
lined.’to the session by State Engin
eer Cochran. This project includes the
building of 300 miles of paving and
600 miles of graveling in the state
each year for the next five years, the
revenues for which to bo derived
from an increase of one cent a gallon
on the gasoline tax. The location of
the paving each year will be deter
mined by the extent of market-to
market traffic. This resolution was
passed by the Good Roads Associa
tion and will be submitted to the leg
islature. Conditions show that the
Nebraska highway program must go
forward to keep up with other states
and to meet the needs of increased
highway traffic. The additional one
cent gasoline tax was endorsed in
state bonds for highway work. The
bond idea was snowed under by the
meeting, but to make this defeat pos
sible the additional one-cent gas tax
had to be accepted.
in i^ocnran s auress, wnicn includ
ed a resume of the road campaign in
Nebraska in the past, he recommend
ed that trucks and buses, whose
heavy traffic make more paving im
perative, be taxed on a ton-mile traf
fic basis.
Mr. Kremer stated that one of the
interesting facts brought up during
the session wa3 the reduced cost of
paving. The first paving laid near
Omaha, it was reported, cost $55,000
a mile. Later paving costs have been
reduced to between $22,000 and $25,
000 a mile, and a new contract let last
week for paving between Grand Is
land and Alda will cost but $18,000 a
mile.
Ona of the proposals brought up at
j the meeting, and emphatically veto
ed, was the proposed establishment of
a non-partisan and non-salaried high
way commission. Many other ques
tions of interest were discussed dur
ing the day.
The opinions and decisions brought
out at the meeting will not be a mat
ter of law until acted upon by the
next legislature. The sentiment of
the meeting, however, will doubtless
do much to influence legislation for
the state road’s program.
VAN ALLEN IS FOUND
GUILTY OF ROBBERY
(Norfolk News)
Peter Van Allen was convicted of '
bank robbery here today by a district
court jury which had deliberated his
case since G o’clock Wednesday even
ing.
The jury returned at 9:45 a. in.,
Thursday. Trial of the case started
Monday.
Van Allen, who lived with his par
ents on a farm near Platte Center,
was charged with robbing the First
National bank here of $1,358, Sept.'

staged the holdup single handed, tes
tified they thought Van Allen was

$15,000 bond set in lower court. He

peal, but has some time in which to
do this.

MAY HUNT PHEASANTS
FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS
Open season on pheasants began
'today in a number of counties in this
| part of the state and the sportsmen
are out today trying to bag their rive
birds. Hunters are in the vicinity
from many of the counties in the
eastern part of the state and by night
no doubt most of the unsuspecting
pheasants will have passed out of the
picture.
Many of the farmers have posted
their farms and will not permit hunt
ing on their places during the present
open season. There are several reas
ons why the farmer objects to hunt
ing on his place; one of them is that
hunters from a distance, in many in
stances, have shown but little regard
for the farmer; they will leave his
gates open; they have cut his fences
and some stock has been killed and
j no one knows who did it; another
1 reason is that the farmer has fed
these pheasants and claims the right
to have a few of them for himself;
| there are but a comparatively few
pheasants in Holt county at this
j time.
