Gas Tax Funds Show January Shortage The state dispersion of the gasoline tax to the various counties 'hows a distir.ct loss for the month of January, ascribed to the fact that truck and auto travel f o : the month has been greatly ru-u-ied. In thi regular gasoline tax apportionment for the month Cass county is given $4,878.11; Otoe county. $5,403.10; Sarpy county, $4,169.92. The amount allowed under the rural and star route funds for the month are as follows: Cass, $3, 252.07; Otoe county, $3,602.10; Sarpy county, $2,779.94. and the revolt seemed imminent. The regiment was on guard at the outskirts of the city and tension prevailed. One of the sentinels on duty at a bridge, challenged an approaching Filipino,- and on his refusal to halt, fired and the attack was on. In the ensuing attack through the night, Henry Guy Living ston, of Plattsmouth, was one of the first killed in the battle, as was Col. John M. Stotensburg, commander of the regiment. The First Nebraska served longer any in the war and were ied to the United States late in 1899. The body of Pvt. Livingston was returned to the United States and brought to Plat I -mouth where burial was at the Livingston lot in Oak Hill beside the father. General Robert Ram sey Livingston, commander of the First Nebraska in the Civil War. Of the original Livingston family, there is but one member now living, Mrs. R. W. Clement of this city. bill that would have raised hunting and fishing license fees. In the debate on the bill, Senator W. A. Metzger of Cedar Creek in speaking on the pro posed measure defended the right of the barefoot farmer boy writh a cut pole and a can of worms. The bill, . as introduced by Senator Lillibridge, of Crete, would have raised the fee to $2 for a hunting or a fishing lic ense, or $3 for a combination permit. The agriculture committee had cut this back to $1.50 for one, and $2.50 for the combi nation license and the legisla ture had accepted the amend ment when Senator Don Hanna of Valentine moved to return to the present rate. Then the debate started. "We don't need any more game wardens running around the State with artillery," Han na asserted. Asserting that his county, Gage, pays seven thousand dol lars a year in license fees but receives little in return, Sena tor Callan of Odell declared: "We receive more fish from the Federal Government than we get from our State Depart ment." Senator Metzger of Cedar Creek continued: "Until such time as the Game Commission comes in here with a budget to show what they're doing writh the money they have now, we shouldn't give them more." Metzger said he was more concerned for "the farm bov with an old pole and a can of worms, than for the fellow who buys one hundred dollars worth of equipment and goes up and down the road walking on pro perty without permission and I've had a little experience with that sort of thing." In defense of the Game Com mission, Senator Lillibridge, author of the bill, and Senator Hoyt, chairman of the Agricul ture Committee which had ap proved some increase in fees, pointed to the department's "extensive program." Hoyt declared the Commis sion distributed thousands of fish all over the State. Lilli bridge said the department would "have its hands full keep ing our pheasant population alive and going" after this win ter's storms. The vote on Hanna's motion to continue the present fee schedule was 21 to 16.
