From Monday's Iailv
Over 100 attended Saturday's road
meeting at the court house, fifty from!
Plattsmouth precinct, others from
! Eight Mile Grove. Rock Bluff, and!
Louisville precincts.
While there was a decided senti-,
ment in favor of gravelling the roads;
expressed by the Plattsmouth precinct ; '
representatives it was evident there'
I was a misunderstanding as to the cost '
l of such a program, and though'
specific figures were given bv the'
county commissioners, covering this
project and the cost shown to be
reasonable and not prohibitive, more!
time is wanted to think the matter'
iover. It was a great opportunity for

attention of all concerned the reason

the necessity of it, for the good of
( everyone interested

action on the part of the Plattsmouth
Precinct would be rapidly followed by
adjoining precfLCts.

pr s survey of the roads, and esti-
mates had been made, but these fig
ures were approximately the maxi
mum as it was desired to use a con
servative estimate, and it could be re
duced later, which is likely, so much
the better.
There are nineteen miles in the
above program which at ?3,S00 per
mile figured $72,200, and interest of
5 per cent added or $3. C10 would
make a total of 575, S10. There being
43 sections in the Plattsmouth pre
cinct, or 180 quarter sections, would
made this run 142.11 per quarter sec

This would run a little over twenty-

per cent of the assessed valuation can

t c . ,
If this bond issue were made for
(twenty years, these amounts would of
course be cut in half for the yearly
payments.
It was also shown, that the cost of
hauling or using the roads as they
now stand, would cost in some cases tc
exceed this amount, for excess gas. to
say nothing of expense of chains, de
preciation on equipment and discom
fort and inability to get to markets,
or ever to secure the services of a
physician in many cases.
Mr. )avis, secretary of the chamber
of commerce, explained to the repre
sentatives, that this was not a cham
ber of commerce proposition, or prop
adanda, the use of the chamber rooms,
and arrangements for the meeting,
being made only from a friendly in
terest on the part of that organiza
tion to co-operate with the farmers,
and to extend every assistance pos
sible to have them meet together in
a friendly discussion of this matter,
assuming there was a most important
need of good roads, and having con
sidered those interested were anx
ious to get together in this proposi
tion, lie also extended them all a
hearty invitation to call at the Cham
ber of Commerce offices, anytime they
were in Plattsmouth, for the cham
ber of commerce wished them to feel
it was at the service of every man
and woman present, in a broad and
impersonal way.
As to the figures presented, on
costs of this proposition, it will be
considered a favor, if those interest
ed, would call and go into this mat
ter, in detail, so that any misunder
standings may be erased.
The question of the use of an in
creased gas tax was also raised, and

practical way would be either an en

matter, or individual roads being put

the latter plan being the v.

joining the roads, thn a broad pro
gram covering the entire precinct. I
Mr. John Werhbein was chosen as
chairman of the met ting as it was
thru the efforts of Mr. V.'erhbein, Mr.
Henry Horn and Mr. Luke Wiles this .
meeting was brought about. Mr.
