Civic Group Probes
Highway 108 Case
EWING—The Ewing Com
mercial club held its regular
meeting Thursday evening, Jan
uary 21. Members and their i
wives met first for dinner at
the Methodist church and after 1
the dinner business was con
ducted.
The chief item of business
concerned the possibility of
state highway 108 reverting
to county status. The good roads
committee, headed by J. Q. Ar
cher, was instructed to get all
the information possible from
authorities in Lincoln concern
ing legislation that shall be pro
sented in the current meeting of !
the legislature which will effect
the status of highway 108.
The group plans to draw up
resolutions if necessary and
present them and personal let
ters to Sen. Frank Nelson, who
represents the district in Lin
coln. Highway 108 is the only
North-South road out of Ewing,
which is maintained by the
state, and merchants and ranch
ers in the Ewing area are an
xious that the road be kept un
der state care.
Legislative bill 138. which
may effect highway 108, is
designed to take roads "off
the state's back". These roads
largely were originated with
federal funds. The state en
gineer's department indicates
tha highway 108 in its entire
length, including the second- !
ary sections, is part of the
state highway system and will
not be affected by the bill.
The Comercial club also made
arrangements with Mayor Clyde
Allen for a mail box to be plac
ed in the Elkhorn hotel so that
the town marshall can place
mail on the early morning train
for persons wanting this ser
vice.
Clarence Ernst, O’Neill farm
er recently returned from a
trip to Europe, was scheduled
to appear at the meeting and
show pictures, but had to can
cel the appointment. President
Walker said Ernst would be in
vited to a subsequent meeting.
