April 20, :p cial Tplegram,) The committee in mtigatiug the relative con cl fed tral and county highways raine nearer Id finding roads which could be compared on that basil at its hearing here today than at any previous time. Sherman county supervisors built a road near Litchfield which, to fai as grading was concerned, compared favorably with a federal aid project running from Loup City lo Rock ville. The drainage on the county road, it was admitted, was not a good but grading cots per mile tub! be compared. The vfficial (igutei presented to the committee showed that the county grading cot $-1,900 a mile against iSMS a mile (or grading on the icderal aid ro.l. Taxpayer Misled. George Johnson, state engineer, declared that someone had misled the taxpayers of Sherman county into be'ieving the estimated cost was the actual cott. Johnson showed that the contractor was paid for the actual yardage removed instead of the ettimatcd yardage, and the con tractor left the job before the state was actually satisfied with the road but wished to wait and ascertain where more filling , was necessary after traffic had passed over the highways. Johnson showed that the cost of the road advertised by anti-federal aid agitators was approximately $30,000 more than the true, actual cost. There was a dispute as to whether as much yardage per mile was removed on the federal aid as on the county road. Figures on removal of dirt were compiled to ascertain for the ' committee later 'whether this charge were true. Johnson asserted no comparison could be made between a blade trader road bui't by counties and federal aid roads, lie presented figures showing that blade-grader work done by counties for from $150 to $300 a mile had been done on 1,500 miles by the state as cheaply as the counties did the work. Resolutions Compared. "The federal government will not extend financial aid to counties for roads which can be built satisfac torily with a bladc-gradcr," Johnson explained. ihe government aids and demands compliance with speci fications on roads requiring difficult engineering, solution of bad drainage problems and were heavy fills and heavy work are necessary. Johnson showed the committee a resolution passed recently by the board asking for more federal aid on one of its highways. He also showed the committee a resolution which was passed at a previous date branding federal aid as extravagant and demanding laws putting the handling of all road money back to the counties. "Now geutlcmen," said Johnson, "you . all know that on your last federal aid job you had an opportu nity to bid and subcontract the work or do it yourself and on the next job you can do the same thine.' If you think private contractors are' getting too much put in your bid at a lower figure at the next federal aid letting and we'll give you the opportunity , of doing this work cheaper." Probe Engineering Cost. The engineering cost was delved into. - Johnson explained that the state department couldn't or hadn't exceeded the 5 per cent allowed by. law. In some , instances, one job called for more than 5 uer cent, as much as 15 per cent in certain jobs and as low as 1 per cent on others, Dut nis department was obliged to come within the 5 per cent provision on the average work. . ' "Engineering in road building fs like architecture ' in -house or store building," Johnson .said. ; 'You couldn't build a good house' without an architect and you can't build a good road without an engineer." Johnson presented figures . which he declared . were compiled ; from books of the county clerk and coun ty treasurer. Johnson's figures showed that in five years, taxpayers had- paid $247,554.13 for county roads and the county clerk's books showed where only : 515,146.43 of that amount had. been ' spemv -1 No Graft Suspected. "If I . had kept books' like that they'd had ma in the penitentiary." Johnson said. . !' " "Now.-is: there: anyone who be lieves the contractor on this -job moved less yardage than Tie was paid for," v Representative Hoffmeister asked. ',- . - . There was no reply. "Does anyone think the contract price for yardage at the time of peak prices was too much in this county," he asked. . No reply. ' ' - "Do you think there was any graft or mismanagement" ne continued. "No," members of the board re plied. . State First Aid. V Governor McKlevie asked ' W. O. Brown, a member of the board of supervisors for 20 years, when the first definite road building plan in the county was inaugurated. "When the state took hold of road building and the government aid started," Brown said. "The county didn't do much be fore that along those lines?" the governor asked. Brown chuckled. "Oh, we used to work out poll tax which was not much more than a picnic," he said. Back to Lincoln. In closing the hearing Covernot McKelvie asserted there would be federal aid for a long time and if Nebraska didn't want it the govern ment might accommodate the state, but other states would use it. "And if Sherman county doesn't want state engineers here or state aid we can do that, he continued.

Gillan, man. ager of the industrial bureau of the Omaha thambrr of Commerce. Gillan' statement was made in the wake of the announcement that the Teapot Dome area, about 3S miles north of Caiper, Vyo and Jut south of the famous Salt Creek oil fields, are to be tapped by a newly formed company of which II. F. Sin clair of the Sinclair Oil company is president. River Routt 1 Beit, "N'ow where this concerns us, said Mr. Gillan, "If the line takes the logical route, it will follow the t'latte river to I'latttburg. "All that will be necessary to get into the Platte valley will be to cross a little ridite between the field and Casper. From thi point the Platte is the logical course. The Flatte ha an extraordinary fall, which will eliminate pumping." "It will be the greatest thing that bat happened to Omaha in the last 10 years," he said. "With crude oil here we would have i cheap fuel. A large number of firm here use oil now and they have to ship it in. There are no coal beds close to Omaha so cheap fuel oil would be of vast importance. Expects Refinery Here. "Although we have heard nothing definite, it is very reasonable to sup pose that the company will pipe '.he 011 here for refining.

Cole' argument, which started yesterday morning, was the most ex traordinary ever heard in the dis trict court.

Apologizing briefly for speaking ill of the dead, Cole said: "Greed for Gold "How did Harry llahn come to his death? By the greed for gold. I respect the spiritual existence of those who have gone through the portals of death. I may not believe in the God commonly believed in by Christians, but I believe in the God that regulates the planets as they gyrate through aoace."
