B e I Nebraska __| NEBRASKA T0 GET IN ON G0OD ROAD FUND State to Take Advantage of Opportunity Offered by New Federal Law. FOR A FIVE.YEAR TERM (From a Staft Correspondent.) Lincoln, July 26, (Special).—Ne- braska will take advantage of the op- portunity offered by the new fed- eral road law to secure its share of the apportionment made for good roads, Governor Morehead said this morning in answer to a letter re- ceived from Congressman Reavis, calling his attention to need of haste in the matter, in behalf of the state accepting the provisions set forth in the law. The provisions of the law direct that in order to secure a share of the appropriation, each state must agree to appropriate an equal amount to that given by the government. The law provides that in the event the legislature is not in session that the governor has the authority to accept the provisions set out in the law. For Five Year Period. The amount which will come to the state is not exactly known, but it ex- tends over a period of five years. The total amount appropriated the first year is $5000,000. The second year it is increased another $5,000,000, and so continues, until-the last year the total is $25,000. This is divided among the states which accept the provis- ions of the law and means that as a whole Nebraska will receive quite a goodly amount as a whole, which, with an equal amount appropriated by the state, will give an opportu- nity to make Nebraska roads as good as any in the country. Massachusetts has a state law sim- ilar to the national law just passed, by which the state pays half of the expense of building the roads, the towns standing the rest. On account of the sandy condition of the soil, the roads there have to be built of macadam and are about eighteen feet wide in the center of the roadway. However, Nebraska is fortunate in having a dirt which can be utilized for good purposes and will make good roads in itself, so that the ap- propriation made by the government, if duplicated by the state, should make a system of roads equal to any in the country. Want Concrete Used. However, some are advocating building the roads of a permanent character, something like the road »ut of Omaha over the Lincoln high- vay. Many are insisting that the leg- |slature should make provision at its next session for the location of a state brick manufactory and that convicts at the penitentiary be used in the making of brick to be used in the laying of permanent roads. This appears to be receiving much encour- agement and there is hope that the legislature, unless dominated by the same picayuneish policy which con- trolled the lower house of the last session, may see its way to help along the good work by accepting the government proposition and es- tablish a way to use it to the best advantage. Pawnee Carpenter Is fK_il_lEd by Fall Pawnee City, July 26.—(Special.)— . M. Law, a carpenter, died last evéning from injuries received short- ly before noon when he fell twenty feet from a 5caffoldini on which he was working. He was building a barn for A. H. Hurd, north of town, and was handling some heavy lumber when the scaffolding broke. When he fell he struck on two hedge posts, which were under the scaffolding, and received heavy bruises of the right side of his back. He also received a severe blow across the chest from a board he was holding. The injuries received from striking the hedge posts are believed to have caused his death, as he developed symptoms of severe internal injuries, indicating hemorrhages and ®a rupture of the liver. The accident occurred shortly before noon, and Mr. Law died about 6 o'clock in the evening. He leaves a wife and four small children.
