ROADS TO BE PAVED
BY BONDS CHOSEN
Advisory Board Decides How Money

if the Issue Passes.
LEAvENwoRTH Is OVERLOOKED

II the $1,700,O0 road bond issue

these are the roads that will be
paved:

and thence to street west of derot

macadam to Elk City; also beginning
at Bennington and extending south
to Military road.
Road No. So, from Military road
south to Center street.
From end Of present macadan on
Q street, three miles west to Willard.
The advisory board, made up OF
delegates from each district, de-
cided this after a warm two-hour
discussion. The county commission
ers neatly sidestepped a bundle of
grief by inviting the citizens com
mittee to decide how the money
should be spent, and it took a big
committee two hours to decide.
West Leavenworth property owners
and merchants demanded that the Leav-
enworth road be paved west, but those
In favor of Q street were in the ma
jority These latter took the stand that
opening up Q street would offer a greater
chance for the exploitation of the benefits
OF sarpy county and at the same tims
have nearly all the advantages Of Leav-
enworth road.
The county commissioners wanted all
OF the important details OF the expendi-
ture OF the bond money settled before
the election so that the voters may be-
come we'll ACQUAINTED with the PROPOSE
ton.
Each delegate represented an outlying
precinct in the county and nearly every
civic organization In Greater Omaha was
represented. All were heartily in favor
OF the road bonds, but as to the relative
Importance of the streets where the paw
" was proposed. argument arose which
for over two hours was hot indeed
