After the reading of the sec retary's minutes, Royal Smith, county unit affairs chairman, reported that the reason Mr. Marshall president of the Ne braska Farm Bureau Federa tion, and Mr. Spidel, master of the Nebraska Grange, were op posed to raising taxes for new roads in Nebraska is because there is already a 10 per cent tax on passenger fares and a 3 per cent tax on freight char ges. In addition to these taxes, the state has to match federal funds. After considerable re search, the two officers said there are enough funds o match all federal funds for highways without adding additional, tax es. State unit affairs chairman Richard O. Cole, reported cm several recent bills that have come before the legislature. He particularly cited LB 54. the utility reimbursement bill. A bill of this same nature was re cently vetoed by the governor of Wyoming. LB 54 would pro vide utilities, who put lines and facilities along highways as a favor from the highway depar ment, to receive reimbursements for the costs of moving those facilities when highway changes required lt. This could in some cases, it was contended, develoo into a raid of thousands and millions of dollars on highway funds by the utilities. Women's chairman Gertrude Barnard was unable to be pres ent.

The Old Stone Church 1866 marked the beginning of the St. Johns Evangelical Luth eran Church Southwest of Au burn. The first records of the church kept by the pastor, F. W. Beckman, are dated August 1, 1866. In October Thomas Cas pers sold the Trustees ten acres of land for $23.40. In August 1867. the cornerstone of the church building was land, with Gover nor Furnas among those pres ent at the occasion, and the "Old Stone Church" was dedi cated iust over a year later on September 27, 1868. Actualy the history of -he church starts before the forma tion of the Congregation. In a very real way it started when a group of neople came to Ne braska in the spring of 1956. Illinois and they formed the nu cleus for a German Lutheran community on Muddy creek in Benton precinct. In 1857 the first of these settlers, the wife of Thomas CasDers died and with her death a cemetery was start ed. A new church had its prob lems in pioneer Nebraska. To build the first sanctuary, the new' members of the church each gt.ve a note for $50.00 at It per cent until paid off, as they did not have money to contri bute. To house the pastor a partition in the rear of the church was constructed and an anart-ment established, as the church did not tret a parson age built until 1876. The church strongly empha sized the education of its chil dren. Regulations as to the num ber of weeks of instruction were established, and a school house was acauired to go along with the church nronerty. When the school burned in the early 20th century it was replaced. not with a new school, but with a new church. The new church cost ing 6 000.00, with a tower 83 feet high, and a seating capacity nf 300 was dedicated in 1903. As the new church was built the original building, "The Old Stone Church" became the school for the parish. When the church acauired a bell in 1874. a tower had to be constructed to house it. The con gregation was proud of the bell so it was much used. Regula tions were made that it was to he rung daily at 8 in the morn ing, at noon and at sunset. In the case of a death of a mem ber who had contributed to the cost of the bell and tower it was to he rune but for those who had not naid, a charge of $5 00 ws made to have the bell rung. The custom of tolling the VW1 for a deceased membpr of the congregration has persisted. After World Wnr 1 changes came to the church. In the earl iest davs of the church, nnrishon ers walked to services following the custom of allowing the horses to rest on Sunday. Bv the turn of the century the church officials were concerned with providing hitching posts for the members of the congregation. Bv the lQ"0s the hitcMng nosts fell into disuse with the ndvent nf nnornob"e hnrn wnrshlners. Tn 1937 the church Installed "1p- ricit.v from the RE A.
