$18 Million Budget Increase Seen
By MELVIN PAUL, The Frontier’s Statehouse Correspondent
LINCOLN—The legislature this
week found its work cut out for it
in reconciling the pressing de
mands for more governmental
services with the desire for hold
ing the line on spending.
Outgoing Gov. Robert Crosby in
his budget message put it straight
to the legislators with this re
mark:
“Two years ago I cut the bud
get requests of. the agencies and
bore the ill will of the numerous
groups which have a special in
terest in these agencies. The leg
islature in most instances in
creased the amounts I had re
commended, thus winning the
plaudits of those same special in
terest groups.
“It is not necessary that the
governor play the villain. The
roles can be reversed.”
Crosby said he was junking the
concept of “restraint in state gov
ernment spending” he fostered
two years ago. Now he said he
was recommending the amount of
money the agencies need for a
“reasonable performance” of
their duties.
With this Crosby outlined a bud
get which conceivably could hit
the $215 million mark, the highest
in state history by almost $18 mil
lion. It would include around $45
million in property taxes, also a
record high.
It is estimated it would take a
total state property tax levy of
around $7.75 on each $1,000 worth
of assessed property (property is
now assessed at half its actual
value). The present total includ
ing special state levies is $6.69.
* * ik
The Increases—
Here are the big increases re
commended from the state gen
eral fund, which is largely sup
ported by property tax revenues:
An increase of $2.8 million for
the University of Nebraska for a
$17.8 million total. The univesity
wanted an $18.8 million total.
Crosby said this is necessary to
keep the university on a level
with those in nearby states.
An increase of $2.4 million for
the state board of control for a
total of $13.4 million. Much of the
increase is for a better mental
health program, geared to give in
tensive treatment to patients in
an effort to cure them as quickly
as possible.
A total of $1.1 million for the
state safety patrol. Part of this is
so the patrol can take back re
sponsibilities of running the state
truck weighing scales and also
conducting driver’s license exam
inations. But much of the addition
would go to hire 23 more men to
go to work patrolling the high
ways.
An increase of $600,000 for the
state teachers’ training colleges,
necessary to keep instructors who
are being lured to other states by
higher salaries.
The major saving grace was the
state assistance department where
declining relief rolls and other
factors have cut the need by $1.7
to $13.3 million.
New Gov. Victor Anderson of
Lincoln gives his budget message
in another two weeks. He has said
it won’t differ much from Cros
by’s.
• • •
Recommendations—
Outgoing Governor Crosby had
some other recommendations to
offer the legislature:
A new governor’s mansion
should be built across from the
statehouse. This would take at
least $150,000 he said.
The school for the blind should
be moved away from its antiquat
ed housing at Nebraska City to a
town “with a good college.” Al
though Kearney has been sugges
ted, Crosby did not mention it in
his speech.
Something must be done about
salaries of state officers so gov
ernors can hire good men.
The board of control should be
given enough money for a staff of
“highly qualified assistants.”
Crosby said he thinks the board of
control now is “engulfed in too
many details.”
The state should set up a pro
gram of aid for the permanently
and totally disabled. Since federal
aid is available, Nebraska is los
ing its share.
Money should be appropiated for
the state turnpike authority so it
can make engineering studies on
toll road possibilities. Although
the authority plans to ask for $150,
000, Crosby made no recommen
dation.
* * *
In a uffur a tion—
As Victor Anderson was inau
gurated as 27th governor of Ne
braska, the Lincoln hardware
merchant outlined a program of
“sound self-government” in his
inaugural speech to the legis
lature.
“Let us ask for tax dollars spar
ingly and invest them wisely. Let
us see that our government is
kept close to the people,” said the
new governor.
* * *
New Bills—
A bill calling for the sale of the
state school lands was one of the
early controversial bills intro
duced. Sen. Monroe Bixler of Har
rison was principal introducer.
The measure is expected to find
considerable opposition.
Bixler also introduced a mea
sure calling for “indefinitely” ex
tending the sixth cent of gasoline
tax. Revenues from this tax, due
to expire May 9, go to the state
highway department and have
been credited with making a re
cord $24 million highway building
program possible.
A measure to set up a commis
sion to supervise the state’s boom
ing new oil and gas industry was
also tossed into the legislative
mill. Purpose is to keep from
wasting this resource, introducer
A. A. Fenske of Sunol said.
* * *
Penitentiary Probe
Still another investigation of
conditions at the state peniten
tiary loomed as Sen. Lester An
derson of Aurora introduced a re
solution calling for a “fact-find
ing” legislative committee.
Senator Anderson said he thinks
a report by a special citizens com
mittee has been “whitewashed.”
The report was critical of the
penitentiary. Anderson said there
top officials at the institution,
should ;be a “housecleaning” of
top officials at the institution.
His resolution came on the
heels of a report on the peniten
tiary by Sanford Bates, inter
nationally known penal expert
from Trenton, N.J., Bates, brought
here by the board of control,
which supervises the state peniten
tiary, gave a report with mingled
praise and criticism.
Bates said the penitentiary
“hole” (or jail) should be rebuilt,
the professional staff of the prisor
should be increased, and guarc
salaries should be raised to ge
better men. “The rank and file o:
officers have a dim idea as tc
what the purpose of a corrective
institution is ” Bates reported

HOW ABOUT
THE
ELECTRICAL WIRING SYSTEM
IN
YOUR HOME?
* -
Can you plug-in elec
trical appliances when
ever, and wherever, you
wish
Without having to hunt
(or an outlet, or blowing
a fuse!
THE CHANCES ARE, that if your home is 10 I
years old, or more, your electrical appliance capacity is limited by too
few outlets, an inadequate fuse panel, and branch circuit wiring that
is too small in size.
Electricity is similar to water. It flows along wires much as water flows
through pipes. If too many faucets are connected to an inadequate
plumbing system, all too often you’ll find you can open only one faucet
at a time, or else the result is only a trickle of water. The same is true
with your home electrical system. If the branch circuits are too few,
or if the wire size is too small, only a “trickle” of electricity will reach
your appliances. The result? A fuse blows, or the appliance will not
operate correctly.
The answer? A modern, Adequate Wiring System designed to fit the
electrical needs of YOUR family and home today, and tomorrow! Why
not plan for Tomorrow’s Better Living — Today, by consulting your
own electrical contractor? Ask him to inspect and make recommenda
tions for a truly modern, Adequate Wiring System for your home!
