THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1921. 7 I i Negligence In Highway Paving Job Is Charged Good Roads Committee Asks County Board to Reprimand Engineer Adams and Dis miss Inspectors. A resolution asking that a rep rimand be administered by the hoard of county commissioners to Lew Adams, county surveyor, and the discharge of the two men whose duty it was to inspect the mixing of concrete used on the new Lincoln highway pavement, was passed yes terday by the members of the joint good roads committee which Inu t at the Chamber of Commerce. ' The discussion of the various dis crepancies which were shown in the Pavement during the investigation last week, was carried on by the committee members for more than two hours. It was the opinion of the men that no grafting had been evident but that there was evidence of gross negligence on the part of men in the employ of the county. The committee declared that as soon as the pavement is completed, it should be tested by Prof. Clark Mickey and all portions not up to standards required by state tests, be declared useless and payment re fused. The resolution as adopted by the joint committee follows: Rssolved, that It Is the unanimous opinion of this joint commutes, com poied of the representatives of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the Omaha Auto mobile club, the Automobile Trad asso- tation, the Omaha notary club aqa the Ing the evidence Introduced before the board of county commissioners, at the re cent hearing, In reference to the paving on Lincoln Hlrhway, that we concur In the report made by State Ens lneer John son to the board of countf commissioners, . that the Inspectors, who are employed and hired by Douglas county, to see that the proper mixture of gravel and cement was ued. have been very negligent In their I duty, and from their Interview with the 3 newspapers, their Interest Is with the con tractors, and not with the taxpayers. We therefore -jvould ask the county En gineer that these two men be discharged from their present positions, and that they not be employed as Inspectors on any of the county paving work; and men em ployed who have the Interest of the tax payers at heart. It Is also the unanimous opinion of this committee that Mr. Lew Adams, the coun ty engineer, hss been very negligent (as shown by his pwn testimony) in his duty In protecting the Interest of the county and taxpayers, whoso Interest he Is sup posed to represent, believing It Is his busi ness to see that every contrart let, Is dona in strict accordance with the speci fication and contract.

Says he: "A sprain will do no harm And if it's broken, it will knit." He sits beside your bed of pain, As on the brink of death you hover, And murmurs: "If you stand the strain The chances are that you'll recover." If you have had a motor smash, This bird is certain to appear And say: "If you'll just save your cash You'll have another car next year." You lose your job, and do not know However you can live without it. He says, in soothing tones and low, "It does no good to fret about it." Your house burns, on a winter night, And as you view it, in despair He says: "Oh that will be all right, There's lots of houses, everywhere." Your girl picks up another John And leaves you plunged in tears of sorrow; He says serenely: "Cary on! You'll find some other Jane tomorrow I" Your worries never make him blue He's never woeful or distressed, Whatever troubles trouble you, He says serenely: "Carry onl And if you look into his eyes And read the kindly thoughts that fill him, If you are human, you will rise, And take a rock or club and kill him.

"I just can't begin to tell all the good Tanlac did me," said Mrs. Sarah Learmont, 2238 R street, Lin coln, Neb. - "I had stomach trouble in a bad form and nothing I ate agreed with me. My kidneys bothered me a good deal, too, and my back hurt, especially right above my kidneys. I don't believe anybody ever had such awful headaches as I did, and: sometimes I had dizzy spells so I could hardly stand on my feet. I was always taking laxatives, but they didn't seem to do me any good. "I had not been taking Tanlac long when my friends were amazed at the change and would ask me what in the world I had been doing to improve so much. The change in my condition certainly was re markable, and I kept on improving until I was entirely well. I eat any thing I want now and never have a touch of indigestion. I sleep as sound as a child at night and wake up in the morning feeling bright and happy. Tanlac has just been an untold blessing to me."
