Twenty-five contracts, totaling
$154,720.35 of state maintenance
funds for regraveling of state
highways, were awarded Satur
day by State Engineer L. N. Ress.
Fifteen firms shared in the con
tracts.
Four of the awards were for
work in northern Nebraska. At
kinson Sand and Gravel and
Platte Valley Construction Com
pany of Grand Island each won
two contracts.
The Holt county firm is to re
ceive $10,620 for supplying and
placing 5,900 cubic yards of grav
el on U.S. 281 between the inter
section with U.S. 20 near O’Neill

firms bid on this job. The Atkin
son bid was $295 under the sec
ond low bid and $590 beneath
the high bid.
Atkinson has a $5,343.75 con
tract for adding 2,375 cubic yards
of gravel to Nebraska No. 18 be
tween Spencer and South Dako
ta. The same four contractors bid
on this patrol. The Holt county
gravel supplier’s bid was $570
and $1,686.25, respectively, un
der the second low and high bids.
The Platte Valley bids were
made on the basis that they were
effective only if the firm receiv
ed both jobs. The Hall county
contractor is to receive $15,035
for laying 4,850 cubic yards of
gravel on the highway between
Jamison and a point a mile south
of the Niobrara river and on the
eight miles west of Brocksburg.
A $4,680.25 contract is for 2,425
cubic yards of replacement grav
el to be put on the 14 miles of
| highway north of Newport. Platte
Valley’s price for both jobs was
$281 less than another firm that
tied the two bids together and
' $600.50 less than the lowest bids
. that were not tied.

“How did it go at school today, young lady?”
This railroader has more than a pass
ing interest in the young lady's wel
fare because he knows that a good
part of the millions of dollars in taxes
paid by the North Western every year
helps to maintain her school, buy her
books and pay her teachers.
Yes, as property owners in your
community, we not only contribute
substantially to the upkeep of your
school system, but, like you, we also
pay our proportionate share for muni
cipal improvements—paving of roads
and streets, installation of sewers,
water mains and the like.
And when you consider that the
North Western operates more than
9,500 miles through countless com
munities in nine midwestern states;
that share becomes a large one indeed;
For instance, in 1951 our total prop
erty tax bill amounted to $7,440,405;
(Of which $1,941,460 went to the
State of Wisconsin alone!)
So you see, widespread though we
are, our business is local in terms of
your community, whether it’s ex
pressed in the tax money we pay, the
jobs we provide or the service we
render. And that’s the way we like it;
