(See story on page 19.) ‘ Who Wants Improved Highways?9 By CLIFF SANDAHL ; Chairman, Nebraska Editors Highway Conference Without a doubt, one of the first questions to be raised when the Nebraska legislature begins considering road financing next month will be: Who wants im proved highways? The answer to that question is that Nebraskans from all walks of life, residing in all sections of the state, are demanding better roads, and that is a matter of record. Up until recently, delegations from all parts of Nebraska this year had called on State Engi neer Harold Aitken in Lincoln requesting the improvement of 2,624 miles of highway. Aitken estimated that improvements thus requesed would cost about $76 million. Yet Nebraska has nothing approaching $76 million avail able for roads now or in the immediate future, even with federal matching. ' In contrast to that $76 million figure is the fact that during the first nine months of 1952 the state highway department awarded contracts, amounting to about $5 million, for improve ments on state- maintained roads. With current revenues and prevailing prices, Aitken esti mated that it would take from 13 to 15 years to accomplish the work requested if all construct tion funds were devoted to pro jects requested. Those who have made the re quests for highway construction, according to the State Engineer, have been farmers, employees and businessmen. The requests have come from rural areas, vil lages, medium-sized cities and Nebraska’s largest cities. Most of the delegations calling upon the state engineer to de mand highway improvements speak in behalf of roads that are not paved and that need grading and draining to bring them to modern standards. Nebraska citizens complain about the condition of many of the highways that have bit uminous surfacing or concrete pavement, but most of these people think that their condition LEGAL NOTICE Matthews, Kelley, Fitzgerald & Delehant, Att’ys (First pub.

CHARLOTTE E. ABRAHAMS, President Attest: , I. L. WATSON, Secretary 32-34c (First pub. Dec. 11. 1952) NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the sharehold ers of the O’Neill National Bank, O’Neill, Nebraska, will be held in the banking rooms of said Bank between the hours of 9:00 a m. and 4 p.m., on Tuesday, January 13, 1953. The purpose of this meeting is for the election of a board of di rectors for the ensuing year, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. —F. N. CRONIN 32c President can be remedied by maintenance on the basis of presentations made to the state engineer. This mistaken notion that paved roads are permanent is the cause of one of the most vexing problems facing state highway engineers. They know that no highway will last for ever and that much of the paving built 20 to 30 years ago • has passed the point where maintenance is either effec tive or economical. Continuous patching will not make highways built for Model T cars and two-axle trucks suf ficient to carry the stream of modem automobiles and over the road “freight-boxcars.” The highway engineer’s dilem ma is that citizens who use out moded gravel-surfaced state highways are asking that their highways be given some kind of paved surface, while at the same time heavy traffic on worn-out paved highways makes it imperative that those high ways be modernized—and yet the available finances are not <1 sufficient to do either job, let alone both. The answer is clear: The people of rural areas, vil-‘ lages, towns and cities have made their needs known and no one knows it better than State Engineer Harold Aitken.
