It is well known as to the his tory of Nebraska’s highway sys tem, first, that too many roads have been located and built be cause of political pressure put on the governor and the state engi neer by so-called “influential” Nebraskans, and, secondly, that in an effort to meet such demands, plus the hue and cry to do something to get out of the mud and dust, too' many surfaces consist of coatings much too thin —some only three inches thick— to carry the terrific loads and impacts of today. Gov. Robert Crosby has stated emphatically that "pol itical roads" are out during his administration and State Engi neer Harold Aitken has come up with a plan to follow through on that very promise —and that is what is called the sufficiency rating system. But whether Nebraska builds roads on the basis of sufficiency rating or not, the fact remains that there must be some sort of system set up or the state will never get out of its highway muddle. And, furthermore, once that system is set up—whatever it may be—Nebraskans must agree to abide by it and not try to “bend” it for this or that expediency. What is meant by sufficiency rating? It is very simple, when broken down, for basically only three facts are involved: condi tions, economic elements, and safety. A road that meets all requirements is given a rating. Here are the requirements, in terms of points: Hard surfaced roads — condi tion 35 points; economic factors: (a) remaining life 10, (b) main tenance cost 15; safety: (a) sur face width 16, (b) sight distance 10, (c) passing opportunity 7, (d) consistency (such as a sharp curve before a road suddenly narrows into a one-way bridge) 7; total, 100. Gravel roads— condition 35 points; economic factor: main tenance cost 20; safety: (a) sight distance 10, (b) alignment (num ber of curves) 10, (c) surface ad equacy 10, (d) consistency 5; total, 100. Thus a road rating lowest in sufficiency is one where the need for improvements is m^st urgent. Numerous examples of roads in this category were presented to the legislature by State Engineer Aitken in his recent all-day ap pearance before the lawmakers. Those examples and others were derived from actual on-the-spot 201-cubic-inch, overhead valve engine delivers 33.00 maxium drawbar and 38.00 maximum belt horsepower .. . handles your heaviest 2-3 plow jobs easier, more efficiently.

West O’Neill O scrutiny of every mile of road in Nebraska. WJiile Nebraska may have hard surfacing on quite a few of its main traveled routes, that does not mean that *Vn> state is in good shape roadwise for there is the factor of life expectancy to consider. As the life insurance actuary deter mines the average life of men so the highway engineer deter mines the average life span of concrete pavement. Based on actual Nebraska ex perience, the average useful, eco nomic life of concrete pavements on Nebraska highways is 23 ^ years, the road is excessively expensive to maintain and the traveling public is using a facil ity that is rough and actually ! hazardous. 1 Nearly 20 percent of the con- : crete, and other rigid type pav- | ing, on Nebraska state highways ; right this year, in 1953, will have served an average of 25 years without resurfacing. During this ! year, more than half of about j 1,500 miles of the state highway j rigid type pavements will have served 18 or more years without resurfacing. If no more concrete paving were resurfaced in the next five years, ovf?r half of the concrete paving oh the state highways would be 23 or more years old. Reconstructing and resurfac ing of these concrete pavements will cost less money than build ing entirely new ones, but the restored facilities will not have as long a life expectancy as would entirely new paving.
