With the building of this school

make the town one of the best for its
size in the state, of Nebraska. We
have the railroad facilities with con

town is the very best, as those who
have farmed it have found by experi

by chemical test, have pronounced it
one hundred per cent in productive
ness, and with a citizenry most in
telligent and ambitious and willing
to work, why should not this town
make some rapid advancement? Let
us get behind her, gentlemen, and
make like the rubbing of Alladin's

j meeting duuw.
Lincoln, Feb. 14. A state high
way commission, nonpolitical and in
I full charge of state roads, was advo
cated by the board of directors ot t'-e
Nebraska (Jood Roads association,
which met here this afternoon. The
I directors point out that such a coin
emission has been installed in 40
J states.
An extensive road building pro
trram. bcth of county roads leading
jinto primary highways and of sta:e
roads, wil be advocated by the asso
ciation, the directors said, although
primary highways will have the first
consideraiton, since it has been
shown that state roads carry 75 per
cent of the traffic.
In a review of the advantages of
concrete pavement on ftate high
ways of the first class. Field Secre
tary P. S. Clement cited figures ob
tained from the Iowa experiment
ftation which show that on cement
pavement one gallon of gasoline will
transport 31 tons one mile, whereas
dirt roads will permit of the trans
portation cf only 14 tons per milJ
per gallon.
Car Life Increased
"I find tliat on the D. L. 1). be
tween Lincoln and Omaha approxi
mately l.'-'iJ'l cars pass over tho roai
each day in ihe summer," he s.id.
'That rveand that where the ro;il is
dirt. 90 gallon? of gasoline are burn
ed by the cars for every mile they
travel. On a concrete mad they
would consume only 4 5 gallons a
mile. In other words, concrete
would mean a saving, at the prevail
ing price of gasoline, of almost $11
a mile a day.
Furiher, we have found that the
average life of a car traveling over
dirt roads is four years. On concrete
it will last six. Figuring the aver
age annual mileage of a car to be
5,000 and the average value of our
automobiles to be ?S00, I find that
the saving for concrete roads, as op
posed to dirt, amounts to $3,440 a
mile.
"Concrete cost $30,000 a mile.
Iowa figures the life of a concrete
road at 2 5 years, and the yearly
maintenance cost at $90 a mile. On
that basis, concrete costs -the tax
payers annually, taking Into account
depreciation, maintenance and in
terest on $30,000, approximately
$3,090.
$2,900 Saving
"Roughly,, the saving of concrete

Clement also read good figures on
a gasoline tax which is advocated by
the association, pointing out that a

"I am using these figures of the
I stae department of agriculture to
, ar"ve at that amount," he said, "and
,tney ,show we U3ed 100.00,000 gal-
ions last year.
"Nebraska is lagging behind ad
jacent staes in road construction, ac
cording to etatements from Iowa and
Missouri.
"Iowa spent $12,633,000 in 1923
in constructing state highway," de
clared the field secretary. "Nebras
ka spent $1,200,000. Our counties
also are behind Iowa counties, which
devoted $18,000,000 for road build
ing where our counties appropriated
$4,000,000.
"Iowa has 500 miles of paved
roads; Nebraska has about 75. Iowa
has 2,000 miles of graveled roads;
Nebraska has 5,000."
