ROADS TO BE PAYED
BY BONDS CHOSEN
Advisory Board Decides How Money
from Bond Iisne Will Be Spent
if the Issue Passes.
LEAVENWORTH IS OVERLOOKED
If the $1,700,000 road bond issue
passes at the election of April 18
these are the roads that will be
paved:
Military avenue, Benson to Omaha.
Lincoln Highway, from end of
paving near Elkhorn to Wate'loo
and thence to street' west of depot
in Valley.
Military road, from end of present
macadam to Elk City; also beginning
at Bennington und extending south
to Military road.
Road No. 62, from Military road
south to Center street.
From end of present macadam on
Q street, three miles west to Millard.
The advisory board, made up of
delegates from each district, de
cided this after a warm two-hour
discussion. The county commission
ers neatly sidestepped a bundle of
grief by Inviting the citizens' com
mittee to decide how the money
should be spent, and it took a big
committee two hours to decide.
West Leavenworth property owners
and merchant demanded that the Leav
enworth road be paved west, but those
In favor of Q street were in the ma
jority. These latter took tha stand that
opening up Q street would offer a greater
Chance for the exploitation of the benefits
of Sarpy oounty and at the same tlmj
have nearly all the advantages of Leav
enworth road.-
Tha county commissioners wanted all
of the Important details of the expendi
ture of the bond money settled before
the election so that tha voter may be
come well acquainted with the proposi
tion. Eaoh delegate represented an outlying
precinct In th county and nearly every
rlvlo organization in Greater Omaha was
represented. All were heartily in favor
of the road bonds, but as to th relative
Importance of the atreets where the pav-
tg waa proposed, argument aroae which
for over two hours waa hot Indeed.
The committee' decision was put up
to the county board and will b up for
ratification immediately. -
