State Capitol News . . . Penny-Per-Gallon Increase Ruled by Unicam with Emergency Clause LINCOLN—The budget com mittee of the legislature this week uncorked its recommendation for state appropriations for the next two years. Hie committee report wasn’t yet off the presses when the $172% million it recommended wa* H>ped by $18 million with Gov. Robert Crosby’s signature of the bill increasing the state tax on gasoline from five to six cents a gallon. The bill with the emergency clause was passed on Wednesday, May 6, and signed by Governor Crosby at midnight Sat urday night. May 9, placing it in to effect Sunday morning. The supply tanks in the state were brimming and the one-cent in crease wasn’t expected to be no ticed at retail level immediately. With other revenue measures pending, the grand total is like ly to reach $195 million, far and away the biggest budget ever adopted by a Nebraska legis The $18 million from the gas >tax increase was earily the big gest single increase but there were other sizable ones: An ex pected $4 milhon from the bill raising vehicle license fees. Ap proximately $1% milhon from a special quarter-mill levy for the University of Nebraska college of medicine at Omaha. About $3 million from a half-mill levy for the teachers’ retirement fund. Around $2 million which the budget committee left out of its report because Governor Crosby wants to unload that amount onto the counties for ' over-ceiling assistance grants for medical services. The legislature blocked Cros by’s'plan to make the shift in time for fixing the levy this sum mer so at least a part and maybe all of the amount will have to go back into the budget. Carmody, discussing the budget, was asked whether he thought the committee had adhered to the policy of “restraint”, laid down by Crosby at the start of his ad ministration. The answer was one of the week’s better ones: “I can’t see that restraint was our duty.” * * * Lumps— Crosby was trying to make the best of the budget. He said the fact that the general fund increase was relatively small, property taxpayers should be heartened. It took reporters a good deal of questioning to get the governor to concede that with the two special levies, the total state pro perty tax bill for the next two years will be about the same as it is this biennium, $481£ million. The governor got his lumps from the committee on several points: Crosby had proposed cutting off the Division of Dental Health without an approprition. The committee gave it $30,000 Crosby made no provision for the Milford trade school. The committee recommended $400,000. Crosby lopped $30,000 from the state fair board. The committee put it back. Crosby slashed de partment of public instruction funds which the department said would mean the end of the school lunch program. The committee re stored $23,000 Crosby, the committee found, over-estimaited agencies’ balances in several places. • • • Figures— Here’s how the committee re commendations stack up against other standards: Committee: $172,590,039. Governor: $166,379 614. Asked by agencies: $172,267,416 Current appropriation: $173,383 571. The general fund (general pro perty tax, cigarette tax, liquor tax, drivers licenses, etc.) appro priation: includes $51.3 million in new money compared to $55.1 million for 1951-53. • * * Highways— Nebraska had a highway pro gram this week with the signature into law by Governor Crosby of a bill increasing the tax on gas oline from five to six cents. The boost is expected to bring in $9 million of additional revenue for road construction in the next two years. All of this can be matched with federal aid, so the total in crease will be $18 million. The legislature this week also started a registration fee bill and a diesel bill on their way to passage. Both measures were due for some fire but sponsors were optimistic they could save their bills. The fee bilL as if now reads, would produce an estimated $3 million. A third of this would go to the slate highway depart ment and the other two-thirds to counties and municipalities, but all is eligible for matching with federal aid. The diesel bill would tax all other motor fuels by the gallon, the same as gasoline, but it is not expected to yield any more rev enue than the old equalization fee charged for vehicles using some fuel other than gasoline. A cardinal duty for the seven member advisory highway com mission set up under a bill pass ed last week would be to lay out primary and secondary highway systems for Nebraska. And a bill ready for a final vote this week would require county boards to establish county road systems and 'file plans with the State High way Department or else lose their state funds. The legislature is expected to complete its work this week on the five percent truck weight “tolerance bill.” * * * Diversion— The legislature’s most contro versial bill, the water diversion measure, is slated for debate on the floor starting next week. Sen. Richard Marvel of Hastings, auth or of the hot-potato proposal, ob tained unanimous consent for the bill to be a special order of bus iness next Thursday. Agreement on the date came after Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottstoluff suggest ed the bill be brought up this Tuesday. By then, Carpenter said, Sen. W. J. Williams of Kearney, one of the bill’s chief opponents, would be able to return to the legislature. Williams has been hospitalized in Omaha with a stomach ailment. Legal Notices (First pub.
