Another copy was mail ed. Items are printed fast as re ceived with few exceptions. No discrimination is shown. Editor; Plattsmouth Journal Dear Editor: The people of Cass County and Nebraska are demanding bet ter roads. The 1949 Road Pro gram was the direct result from this overwhelming public de mand. The last legislature pass ed the two revenue laws enabling the County, State and Federal government to join in a well bal anced road building program. That progress has been made in Cass County cannot be denied even by our severest critics. The facts that the three main roads leading into Plattsmouth from the west were unserviceable when I took office in 1949, cer tainly proved the fact that it costs more to use poor roads than to build good ones. After listening to the many pleas and petitions at our Board Meetings by farmers from all parts of the county wanting more miles of road added to the State system it is most bewildering to know that farm organizations are attempting to jeopardize the only workable road program this state has ever known. To insert half-truths, misre presentations and confusion into this fight is most regrettable, es pecially when the so-called local farm Bureau leaders are being duped by higher ups, who in turn are employed by the com mercial truckers and petroleum marketers to protect their own special interests. Mr. Marshall has filed a report in the County Clerk's office, showing $2,885.00 contributed to defeat the road improvement program and this alone shows who his real master and employ er is. Mr. Marshall also stated at a public hearing with the County Board, that he did not feel that the revenue laws in question were excessive, but only objected to the distribution of the funds; a very minor point indeed, why should any fair-minded per son oppose a tax that is based upon use? inose who use our highways most will pay in pro portion. Or would the Farm Bur eau leaders favor that the need ed revenue come from a special assessment, or property tax? The issue to be determined on election day is. are we going for ward with the present road building program or take a big step backward. A "No ' vote means no new taxes, and per mit the 1949 road program to prove itself. The result of the votes on the two referendum petitions will indicate a vote of confidence or disapproval of, in what we are doing in the way of road im provement in the 1st district, and will be a guide to follow in the next two years of my term. as county commissioner. W. F. Nolte. Louisville. Nebr. Plattsmouth Journal: I would like to have made out wnai was on tne 5 and 6 pages or The Journal, but as you can see it would be hard to do. Your Louisville items are rather slow too. Is this because of the re porter or do you put them aside tor other towns? You sure put in a great write- up for Ash Grove in your item on the paving here. How much do you think they pay out on the paving? They may have pushed it through, but for what reason? To sell the cement and if one wanted to build and needed ce ment he could jump in the lake. Ash Grove and the Village Board think nothing of the hardship mey oring on some by forcing mis on some people, but every- ining is tor the car owners around here and nothing for a pedestrian.
