Sarpy and Douglas counties will not Join hands as two moderate sized sections of the state and be come one large, active section. This was practically decided yes terday at Lincoln at the meeting of the committee handling the measure. The news of the death of the bill was brought hack to Omaha by It. C. Biart, one of the most ardent sup porters the bill had. "That the bill Is dead was car tatnly sure when the meeting ad Journed this afternoon,” Btart said. "I don’t know that it would have done any good for more friends ol the measure to he present. The antis had a good argument. "They said that the original appli cation for the measure was based on the assumption that Sarpy county should have better roads, so that Omaha could become a greater mar ket. If the better roads were to be obtained the aid of Douglas county should be obtained. "Now Sarpy county has a road pro gram which calls for the laving of about 3500.000 worth of gravel sur facing on the county roads.
