In an itru Utter t- the Sherman
county Ito.ird of Mip-rvinr, the
governor declared be would wel
come a vlmUwIe iiivftiitation of
any or nil work done ly the i'ute
uith federal Mid in bnildintr roads
to ascertain if charge emanating
from a number i counties that ex
travaituiKf, waste and ior judu
inent were the principal ittKreilicriU
entering into building of Mate roads.
Up to Counties.
In the fcame Irttcr the governor
kcd the board to throw down their
bar and prmiit a similar examina
tion of road building done in Ne
braska by that county and other
in tlic Mate in order to satisfy the
people whether the Mate was ga
ting the most tor us money m ro'
building or whether the efficiency
and economy rWc should go to the
county road builders.
The governor's willingness for a
showdown as to the truth of the
charges was seconded by George
Johnson, state engineer, in a letter
written to the same board of super
visors. "This department.' Johnson said,
"is willing to furi':sh half of the
help and half of the cost of such
an investigation, and we will be
ready at any time to begin on 10
day's notice. I hope you will suc
ceed in having a statewide inves
tigation. . , . ;
Benefit to People.
"I do not believe that anything
could be done at the present time
tat would be of more benefit to the
people of the state than giving them
the results of such an investigation,
which would show that 95 per cent
of all of the cheaper work construct
ed was done with equipment fur
nished by this department and under
our supervision.
"I know the methods of account
ing used by county officials, and
while we are in a position to show
where every dollar of the $7,000,000
state and federal aid money has been
expended it would be difficult for
the counties to show what they have
done with the $17,500,000 they have
spent as individuals for road and
bridge work." " . , ,. . ;'

Governor Says Gas Tax Q
nui iu lYiciKc new jyua
' Norfolk, Neb., Jam" 20. (Special).
Gov. S. R. McKelvie in an address
here guaranteed that not one pay
roll would be added to the state ' if
the proposed -gasoline tax goes- into
effect. He declared it would tend to
help the general road program. The
governor explained the reasons why
he was calling a special session of
the legislature, stating that if the leg
islature does what he believes it will
do 25 per cent will be cut from the
general state levy and that more than
a million dollars will be checked off
the state appropriations and will go
into the general fund.
Ihe governor declared that an an
swer is found for every objection to
the proposed gasoline tax, stating it
will -not create a hardship on car
owners. He declared the general
state road program will be continued.

which averaged 278 pounds for which
he received $7.55 a hundred. Mr.

Man Will Recover
Frcmonter Dragged .10 Feet
' by Engine Suffers Only
Slight Scalp Wound.
i i
Fremont, Neb., Jan. 20. (Special
Telegram.) Dragged for 30 feet un
der the pilot of a Northwestern en
gine, Frank Car.stens, 32. escaped
death. Although he is still uncoil
scious doctors can find only slight
scalp wounds.
The accident occurred on the Main
street crossing, when Carstcns fell
directly in the path of the freight
train engine, just as it was pulling
out from the station. , It is believed
that the man's clothing caught on
the engine pilot, thus suspending him
safely, off the ground.
Fred Suchiand, engineer, failed to
realize what had happened until
pedestrians yelled to him from the
street. The train had proceeded for
a distance of 30 feet before it was
brought to a stop. It was necessary
to back up the train to extricate the
body.
It is believed that Carstcns trippe i
and fell as he was crossing the raiU
road track. ' ' ,

the cattle, went ijtto the feed lots
light' and would not be shipped out
until spring.
