COUNTY ROADS IMPROVED County Engineer Adami Telli of the Work Done by HU Department During; the Tear. HE HAS 1TO USE FOR MACADAM Folio wini Is a psrtial report made by County Engineer Louis Adams, of the work done on Douglas county roads and bridges during 1915: "The last season was the hardest we have experienced in road work, owing to the incessant heavy rains. In many cases the work had to be done over and over. "During the last sesson the county hss opened l't-mlle of new rosd at a cost of 2600 for land taken. We have done 57,790 ruble yards of deep grading at a cost of 29.9)11.15, or 17'4 cents per cubic yard; have spent $5,963.94 for other grad ing; have built twenty-two steel and concrete bridges, ten wood bridges and one re-inforced concrete arch, costing $1,513 19. "The steel bridges cost S4l.0uS.15. the wood bridges. t3.SM.37, and repelr work, I5.3S2. As In 1914. all the bridges have been built under the plena and specifica tions furnished by the state engineer. Tells of Work none. "We hsve hsd two side machines and one elevated grader grading roads, fifty one miles having been finished by the side machines, st a total coat of f3.9?, an average cost of $76.94 per mile. Forty one miles were finished by elevated grader at a total cost of $5,180, and cost per mile of $126 34. We have had forty two drags working under contract at 75 cents per mile. They have dragged &00H miles at a total cost of J4.JO3.70. This does not Include work done by the road overseers In their respective road dis tricts. "We have expended $16,837.28 on the permanent roads of the county. This includes earth work on the sides and cost of tarvla. Would recommend that the county get away from macadam aa-, soon ss possible ss the nutomobl.es make it Impossible to keep them In re pairs. There are five bridges under contract but not completed, among which are three Klkhorn river bridges, wsshed out and damaged by floods during the last year 210 feet at the Noyes bridge, 140 feet at the Burke bridge and 130 feet at the east end of the Snyder bridge.

IXA1)I.G CIIITE AT PETEKS 5ULL, OMAHA. MANY important improvements have been made at the big alfalfa feed plant of the M. C.Peters Mill Co. in Omaha the past year. Some of these will be found in the accompanying pictures. The grain storage capacity has been more than doubled with six very large new concrete storage tanks which are modern in every respect and conceded to be the finest grain storage tanks in the middle west. Additional tracks have been added to take care of the fast growing business and this feature now com prises a total of fifteen tracks, capable of holding a very great number of cars. One of the most important additions is a special loading chute. Cars can be loaded on each side of same and this feature, in addition to other facilities for that purpose, makes it possible to load at least twenty cars at one tme. The storage capacity for the molasses is being increased by another large steel molasses tank. The handling of the details of the business will be greatly improved by a new office building that is now under construction and is adjacent to the big plant. The entire general office force will be removed to this new building early in the spring. This past week the company has held in Omaha a convention of all of its salesmenthese coming from the New England states on the north to Florida on the southand the intermediate states up to the Missouri river. - IV2.
