Opin- t ions expressed are not neces- j sarily those of this newspaper). They Built Mail Routes Phelps county, out in central Nebraska, shows what can be done with the Mail Route Im provement Act. By following the law, this county and a num ber of others have progressed far in the improvement of their mail routes. While some county officials sought ways to circumvent the 1947 mail route improvement law, the Phelps county board of supervisors sought ways to build the most miles of road possible under the provisions of the law. In that county too there were road delegations, each wanting their route to be the first grav eled. The county supervisors sat down with these delegations and worked out a program that made fullest use of the provisions of the law. First, a map of the county was prepared. This map showed all Swatek Hdwe. Phone 5119 iJ Its a family affair 1951 jy?

Nelsen, Ringman the mail routes of the county and those already surfaced with eravel. Then, following the "first and last mile"' provisions of the law, the order of gravel ing routes were shown. A study of the Phelps county map revealed that ten years would be required to complete the program with funds avail able from mail route funds. Delegations frcm many town ships wanted to get the job done sooner. As a result, a meeting of all township boards in the county with the county super visors was called. At this meet ing, the township boards agreed to build the mail routes to coun ty specifications, if the county would apply the mail route gravel. The townships financed their share of the cost with a property levy in the townships for grading and drainage of mail routes. The county agreed to assume responsibility for main tenance after the mail route gravel was laid. The basic formula of the Mail Route Improvement Law was followed in numbering each mile of each mail route. The first and last mile of each mail route was numbered one, the second and next to last miles numbered two, and so on over the mileage of the individual routes. Occa sionally weather conditions made necessary the by-passing of a few miles of route, but enough funds were held aside so that such miles were improv ed as soon as the soil was in condition for working. The first year all miles on all routes numbered one to five were scheduled; and the second year the miles from five to ten. Today most miles between 10 and 15 have been improved; and on a few routes the improvement has proceded as high as miles 16 and 17. The map showing the route numbers and mileages was post ed in the county clerks office during the first year of the program where anyone who wished might examine it. The map is still kept up to date and is still available for examina tion in the office of the county engineer. Requests to see the map are infrequent now because Phelps county residents see the mail route graveling program in operation. Phelps county does not own road building equipment. There fore, all road building is con tracted by the townships. Ex perience has shown that the county can build roads more cheaply than the state; and townships more cheaply than the county. Specifications for road build ing in the county are quite high, which results in low main tenance costs. Orval Harms, Phelps county clerk, reports that the county has spent $102,282 of mail route funds, in the four years the program has been in operation. In this period of time 124 miles of the 273 miles of mail route in the county have been im proved. Gravel was applied on mail routes at a rate of one and one half inch, 20 feet wide or approximately 416 cubic yards to the mile. Phelps county Is not alone, of course, in making progress in road improvement under the Mail Route Graveling Law. A number of other counties are doing very well with the pro gram, proving that this ready made road program does work when county officials believe in it and use it correctly.
