in Report by lnves,igat.
. ing Committee.
County Costs Criticised

Lincoln. June 2.-(SpeciaD-Rep-
resen,atiye Charles II. Epperson.
member OF the special road investi-
CATION committee and leader a, two
sessions OF the legislature OF bitter
attack on the state highway depart
ment under George L. Johnson, state
engineer, today joined other men,
bers OF the committee in signing a
report which absolves Johnson OF
every charge preferred against him
and his department by members of
the legislature and certain county
commissioners. Representative Fred
Hoffmeister. democrat and member
of the committee, also joined in sign
ing the report and repudiating the
charges of mismanagement, graft
and extravaganza made by leading
democrats.
Record System Deplorable.
"The condition OF bookkeeping and
record of expenditures of the various
counties, with three or four excep-
tions, is dcplorable," the report
reads. State statutes provide that
each mile OF road shall be given a
number and an account opened with
it OH the county's books and all ex-
pcnditures on that particular mile
should be charged to its account. In
majority OF counties. these books
have not been kept. This made it
impossible to form any intelligent
opinion of the costs of county road
construction or maintenance.
"We wish to call attention to dis
coveries made as to the system OF
expenditures pursued in some coun-
ties, and which we suspect may be
rather general. That is the plan Of
making payments direct to officers,
such as highway commissioners or
county commissioners, and having
them pay claims by their personal
checks. This system can be and
probably is honestly used, but it Of
fcrs opportunity for a tremendous
abuse OF public money"
Six Recommendations.
The committee makes six recon-
mendations for improvement in
highway work and management to
change laws which it is claimed tend
to make cooperation between state
and county officials difficult. These
recommendations, briefly, follow:
Complete segregation of state
and federal aid roads from county
roads, both as to construction and
maintenance.
Fix statutory qualifications for
county highway engineers and
