These! are Rulo, Nebraska Cit,. Platts mouth. Omaha, Blair, Decatur. South Sioux City and Niobrara. Mr. Wil liams represents the Niobrara inter ests. Each speaker emphasized the need of avoiding the subject of locations I now for harmony. A small levy of some kind set apart for bridge con struction, with locations under state authority, seemed generally favor ed. "Fifty representatives go to the legislature from the river counties and tributary territory," said Judge Begley. who added there should be no difficulty in convincing lawmak ers of the need of a bridge program and of sounding the doom of the toll bridge in Nebraska with its special privilege. Among the speakers were Allen Burke of Bancroft. speaker of the Nebraska house of representatives: Ward Evans and R. J. Andrews of Sioux City, members of the Iowa bridge commission; Roy Cochran, state engineer of Nebraska; Arthur Bowring of Merriman. president of the Nebraska Good Roads associa tion: John L.

White, state engineer of Iowa, In favor of setting apart 4 per cent of the 10 million dollars for bridges, which with an equal amount of fed eral aid would build a bridge a year. Cost of these structures had been greatly over-estimated by enemies of the project he said. One at Sioux City would not cost more than 600 thousand dollars exclusive of ap proaches, he indicated. He asked what the feeling would be if a wall were built between Ne braska and Kansas and a few pri vate companies given the right to extort toll for crossing. Mnst Be Statewide , Action. "Yet," he said, "such a barrier exists between Iowa and Nebraska with only three toll bridges along the entire 200 miles of drive." Whatever action is taken must be state-wide, Mr. Evans declared. Speaker Burke advocated a mod est program with reason behind it. It will meet legislative annroval if not out of proportion to the road program, he thought. Abthur Bowring, head of the stae good roads organization emphasized the differences between size of road funds in Iowa and Nebraska. With only 65 per cent of the Ne braska roads brought to standard grade he said, "I would rather see a toll bridge and a road to it than a free bridge and no road leading P to it." Says Nebraska Lags." He mentioned the slow program of South Dakota, which built bridges successfully with a small property tax. State Engineer Cochran said Ne braska has five and one-half mil lion dollars annually to spend on maintenance and construction as against 10 million dollars in the Iowa primary road fund and only three and one-half million dollars for construction. By reason of this, the state July 1927, will be two mil lion dollars behind in matching fed eral aid for roids. ?7 lld'??
