Big Highway
Program is On
in This State
Wcrk for 10,000 Men Expected at
the Peak Within the Next
Few Months.
Nebraska laborers this year will
carry on the biggest spring and sum
mer road construction program in
state history. Work already has
started on an estimated $5,000,000
of construction to be completed with
in the next five months. State Engi
neer Cochran estimated that this pro
gram, coupled with maintenance on
the state's highway system, will mean
a peak employment of 10 thoii-and
men on Nebraska roads within a few
months.
The program already in sight calls
for 88 miles of paving, four miles of
bituminous mat suifacing, 225 miles
of grading and small drainage struc
tures and about 125 bridges. This
compares with estimated uncom
pleted work under contract at this
time last year which called for 95
miles of paving, 22 miles of bitum
inous mat, 121 miles of gravel, 159
miles of grading and about 100
bridges and major structures.
Most of the work carried on this
week was on bridges and can con
tinue under less favorable weather
conditions. Most of the estimated $5,
000,000 of construction already
scheduled will be done with federal
funds, supplemented on some projects
by Etate funds. About ?3, 000, 000 al
ready has been spent on the $7,800,
000 alloted Nebraska last summer
from the federal emergency funds.
The S8 miles of paving will cost
about $2, COO, 000, the four miles of
bituminous mat, $10,00; 116 miles of
gravel, $200,000; 255 miles of grad
ing, and small drainage structures,
?1. 000,000; and 125 bridges, about
$600,000.

The time is fast approaching whsn
the voters of the city of Flattsmouth
will be called upon to select the men
that they will have serve them in
the city offices for the next two
years, a matter that should be taken
into serious consideration.
The candidates for the offices will
be named in conventions, that ot
the democratic party to be held on
Thursday evening at the district
court room in the court house, while
the republicans will meet on Friday
evening at the same place to select
candidates.
This year the mayor, clerk, treas
urer, police judge and half of the
city council will be named and it is
important that the best men possible
be named for the offices if the city
is to be guided through the remain
ing period of the depression.
The conduct of the city affairs have
been held to the lowest possible ex
penditure in the last two years and
has resulted in the building up of the
city funds despite the fact that a
large number have been unable to
meet their tax obligation and which
has made the burden even greater.
It has been possible to secure the
building up of the funds only by the
refusal to carry on only what was ab
solutely necessary in the conduct of
the city and to eliminate all unnec
essary costs wherever possible. In
this the members of the city council
have co-operated in fine shape, there
being no partisanship shown in the
honest and sincere effort to produce
the best possible results for the city.
One thing is assured, that is the
city at least for a long period is not
going to be able to launch any ex
tensive programs of expenditure and
those who are chosen for office by
the voters should be men who will
strive to give the best and most eco
nomical form of government possible.
Attend your convention this week
and do your part in the selecting of
the candidate that in your mind will
best serve the interests of Platts
mouth and its people.
