NEW STATE HOUSE SOON TO COME UP Legislature Must Determine It Policy in This Regard at . Early Date. The Associated Commercial Clubs of Western Nebraska at Bridgeport, February 27 took up good roads, pub licity, co-operation and legislation. The' following officers were elected for the coming year: President, H..M. liushnell of Alliance,; first vice presi dent, George .. Gorton of Crawford; second vice president, Mark Span ogle of Bridgeport; secretary, A. B. Wood of Gering, and treasurer, Keith L. Pierce'of Hemingford. The association will take part in WHAT THE SITUATION entertaining the Nebraska State As- of Council Bluffs was defeated here I , - Frora BUS Correspondent.) Lincoln, March 2 (Special). It is expected that the state house appro priation will be the next big prob lem before the lower branch of the legislature. The more the matter is discussed, it becomes apparent that people are more favorable to creating a fund1 by special levy, as called for in the Rich mond bill. This bill calls for a one mill special levy nntil $he sum of $3, 300,000 has been raised. This would probably take about seven years under the present valuation of the state, which on a one-mill levy would raise about $500,000 a year. Very few members of the legisla- - lure but believe there should be a new state house. Many problems have arisen at this season calling for impropriations. The finance ways and means committee of the house have oeen trying to keep the appropria 5ions down. Whether they are justi fied in reporting out for indefinite postponement bills simply on the idea :hat the appropriations should be kept down instead of on the broader idea that the appropriation are needed, la a matter which tht legislature will hart to settle, 1 ,.- r Stone Will Crumble, When it wai first proposed to re pair the old wing by tearing down the wait, driving piling for the purpose of giving a solid foundation on which to rebuild the walls, it was figured that the stone now composing the walls could be taken out and used in re building the wing. According to ex perts, the atone will not stand mov ing, but will crumble as soon as taken out of the walls. In case- this if true, stone that would match that " now in the building and would have to be shipped from the Bedford quar ries in the east It it the opinion of these men that at toon at the south wall it taken out and the east wall pulled down as far back at it thown to be unsafe, the whole wall will crumble. A teriout problem is presented in the minds of tome of .he membert whether the- state would not be in a bad predicament if an attempt were made to repair the old wing and it was found after tearing it down thai the whole wing Wat likely to go to ruirl. There would not be enough money to make it safe for use and no appropriation to build hew. The present deplorable condition of the state library must also be taken into consideration.; The tame business judgment which a man would apply to hit own affairs in protecting nfooertV aoeears to be lacking in the .minds of many of the . members, jr.'.:;' '?.'. Many Vrgs Levy, : Tax payers our in the state who are really interested in the matter, are urging upon their members to vote the levy in many instances. Douglas county, which pays a large per cent ot the taxes of the state, has a full delegation' for the new stats house. Cherry county. Box Butte county. ' Sheridan county and many other of die new counties wncre me people very seldom get a chance to see the state house', are anxious that the "present disgrace to the state," as they call the present edifice, shoule be removed and a new one erected. It is said that there are people working in tne east wing of the build ing who have been turned down by accident insurance companies because the risk is too great to carry either front accident or death. If this is so, the members of the legislature are facing a prob'em of which there is only one solution protection, to life. Man Lies Several Days in .', Cabin With Feet Frozen Casper, Wyo- March 2.
