FACTS GIVEN ON ROAD
SITUATION IN NEBRASKA
by Congressman Karl Stefan
Many inquiries are reaching the
Congressional office relative to good
roads in Nebraska, and calling at
tention to the fact that from time
to time the legislature designates
certain additional state highways
and roads for improvement under
the Federal System. The last Ne
braska legislature took such action.
The new designations are scattered
all over the state, and a report has
been circulated in Nebraska to the
effect that Federal funds can only
be used on what the Government
terms farm-to-market roads or
feeder roads.
Inquiries also come as to exactly
how large a fund is available for
highways, roads, streets, grade
crossing elimination for Nebraska,
and an exhaustive study has been
made in order to give the following
information to the people of the
state. An investigation in the
Bureau of Public Roads, U. S. De
partment of Agriculture', indicates
that a total of $7,427,180 has been
placed to the credit of Nebraska
and will be available for expend
iture as rapidly as the State High
way Department submits proposed
projects and obtains approval of
them. Of this amount $3,870,739
has been allocated for highways,
roads and streets, and $3,556,441
for grade crossing elimination.
The rules and regulations ap
proved by the president to govern
the expenditure of these funds re
quire that not less than 25 per cent
of the sum apportioned to each
state shall be applied to secondary
or feeder road projects not included
in the state or Federal-aid high
ways. It is also required that not
less than 25 per cent of the state’s
apportionment be applied to pro
jects within municipalities or met
ropolitan areas locuted on the Fed
eral-aid highway system or.exten
sions thereof or on secondary or
feeder roads which are not included
in that system. The remaining
percentage of the state's appor
tionment may be applied to pro
jects on the Federal-aid highway
system or to secondary or feeder
projects located on the state high
way system but not included in the
Federal-aid highway system.
The requirement that a definite
percentage of the sum apportioned
to the state shall be expended on
secondary projects off the state
highway system and Federal high
way system was included in these
regulations to insure that provision
would be made for the improve
ment of a reasonably extensive
mileage of rural farm-to-market
roads. It is apparent therefore
that these regulations will permit
the expenditure of 50 per cent of
a state’s apportionment for the
improvement of roads on the Fed
eral-aid highway system outside of
municipalities and for the con
struction of the class of roads in
which you are particularly inter
ested, that is, roads on the state
highway system and not included,
in the Federal highway system.
The approved rules and regula
tions place a limitation of $1,400
per man year of employment for
labor, materials and all incidentals
properly chargeable to the work on
the expenditure of these funds.
This limitation will practically pre
clude undertaking high type im
provements unless the funds are
supplemented by state or local
money. The state highway depart
ments are required to initiate all
projects and any proposals by that
department to expend allotments
from these funds for the improve
ment of any of the projects in Ne
braska.
Does this mean that this is all
the money Nebraska is going to
get ? The answer comes from Mr.
MacDonald’s office thru Captain
Curtis: “This gross sum of seven
million plus is the extent of pos
sible allocation to the State of Ne
braska from the sum allocated by
the President from the $4,880,000,
000 appropriation, for highway im
provement and grade crossing
elimination.”
Apparently the only means of
getting additional highway money
for Nebraska will be for the presi
dent to allocate additional funds
from the emergency relief appro
priation for further sub-division
among the states, or for Congress
to make additional general or
specific appropriation.
Thi3 means that while all pro
jects even to their minute details
must be initiated in the state, it is
still requisite for the formulated
project including blue prints to be
submitted to the Bureau of Public
Roads for approval, and all pro
* ’fc- .
jects great or small must receive
the approval of the Bureau in
Washington prior to the time that
the project will be set off against
the credit of the state to the end
that the expenditure of the money
can actually be made. This takes
away from the state officials in
Nebraska any power to expend
money for roads without first get
ting the approval of the Bureau in
Washington.
Under the emergency relief ap
propriation no matching by states
is necessary, but the state may
supplement these funds to what
ever extent it can or cares to. This,
however, does not alter the ruling
that all projects great or small
must be first submitted to the
Washington bureau.
At the present time there is to
the credit of Nebraska $2,581,663
regular Federal aid highway im
provement money. This is in ad
dition to the sum allocated from
the emergency relief funds and is
available as it would have been
available whether or not there
had been any emergency relief ap
propriation. In other words, it ac
crues from regular revenues.
In order to avail itself of this
money, the State of Nebraska must
match dollar-for-dollar to the ex
tent that it is able to or that it
wishes to extend its Federal cred
it in this category. This set up
originally contemplated and still
contemplates in principal degree,
the improvement of the so-called
trunk line highways.
The farm-to-market road cam
paign which was initiated here by
farm state congressmen has in
mind the securing of additional
funds from the five billion dollar
fund to supplement what has al
ready been allocated to the states.
It is believed by the congressmen
and also by the relief officials that
this plan would result in more con
structive relief work and also put
more men to w’ork in farm districts
than any other project and event
ually bring better roads to the
gates of the farmer.
