State House Shorts By Janies R .Lowell The second letting of roadside beautification projects for the year was made last week by the state highway department. These pro jects will cost $6,155, the expense being mainly the cost of trees and shrubs. The department had in tended to include a project between Dakota City and Homer in this letting, but held it up pending further planning. Cows at 25 cents each, a team of horses for $2, and a truck for $1.25 —these were some of the prices or “high bids” made by Farm Holiday 1 members at a recent foreclosure sale near Hemingford, according to ! E. H. Luikart, receiver of the bank which held the mortgage. Mem bers of the association have offered to substitute a bid of $550 for the original $33 bid at the sale, how ever, to satisfy the Box Butte county court, and Luikart has ask ed the court to approve the §550 'settlement. Expenses of the state govern ment during the next biennium arc* 'expected to run $1,000,000 over the amount spent the past two years, as the result of additional requests I for funds made by various state in ! stitutions. Included in the increase will be additional legislative ex pense as the result of investiga tions, et cetra, $500,000 increased appropriation for the state univer sity, and additional buildings for the board of control.
