road and bridge building activities in
Nebraska was brought up in the
Nebraska legislature again today
in communication from Gov
ernor McKelyic to both branches, ia
voring formation Of a joint board OF
inquiry TO conduct an open hearing
on these two issues.
The governor suggested that the
board be composed Of himself. the
attorney general. the state auditor
and two members from each branch
of the legislature TO conduct the
hearing before the public OF the
state. the cost OF which would be
provided for by funds already ap-
propriated.
The communication was not in the
form OF special message, but stat
ed that, in view of the fact that the
subject was considered by the upper
house as without the consideration
Of the legislature because it was not
contained in his official call, such a
beard OF inquiry would meet with
his favor If the legislature would en-
dorse the proposal. Under this plan
the board will have power TO sub
poenae witnesses and put them under
oath.
The house, after receiving the
communication, by vote of 81 TO
IS, reconsidered its action authorL-
ing the appointment of an investk
eating committee, and voted unanfk
