P. A. Barrows, Correspondent""
Edward Peterson,
Lincoln. Neb., April 9. (Special.)
Secretary George Johnson of the
department of public works lias be
some convinced that the department
itself can save the state money by
building roads itself. His conten
tion is that many of the bids are
entirely too high and that in the
interests of saving inroads on the
road fund that the State can afford
o build the roads, using inmates of
:he penitentiary for the work.
With that end in view he has re
fused to award contracts for road
building in many instances, while in
others where he believes the bids
too high he has refused all bids
and will call for new ones. Con
tracts granted yesterday are:
Project No. 115, Platte county,
awarding of contract postponed to
later date.
No. 125A," Brown county, grading,
award at later date; culverts, West
