HENRY STARKJOHN VEY ACROSS STATE Federal Engineers Going Over Lin coln Highway Prior to Lay ing Gravel -Surfacing A crew of three federal engineers arrived in Kearney last week, says the Kearney Hub, assigned the task of going over the Lincoln highway west prior to federal money being appropriated for gravel surfacing the road. Kearney is their initial stop, and they will be several weeks com pleting this final survey, as every hundred feet of the road is given a thorough examination. Records of this examination are compiled and sent to headquarters. When the work is complete it is expected the permit will be given to put down a surfacing of gravel the entire length of the highway across Nebraska. Considerable time is required to get the reports par-i-ed upon and an O. K. for the expenditure of federal funds, as the project must come up to federal specifications in every re spect, including width, grade, drain ace and the like. The graveling is also done under federal Fiipervision. The time will come when the Omaha-Kansas City highway through Plattsmouth will be similarly im proved, a good start toward such end being comprehended in the bill naw reported out on general file in the state legislature providing for the paving of the road from the out skirts of South Omaha to Fort Crook, nine miles north of this city. This project will also receive federal aid, and looks especially good from the government's standpoint inasmuch as it would provide ideal transpor tation facilities between Fort Crook and Fort Omaha, as well as to and from the rupply depot located at 22nd and Waldron streets in Omaha.
