The group voted to hire a lob byist, to work on that request. The mileage would be from Ar thur, where the highway now ends, to Broadwater, where it would connect with Highway 26. Some observers said this might set a trend for the next session of the legislature to cope with. * * * Parking Matter— Action of interest to visitors to Nebraska’s capitol has been tak en by a group of state em ployees. The group incorporated a non stock association which will lease some lots, tear down two old houses on the property, mark off the property into “stalls,” and rent them by the month. The property is near the state house where parking is at a pre mium. About 47 cars will be accomo dated. This should free some space for out-of-town visitors. * * * Hospital Costs Up— Nebraska hospital costs, like everything else, have gone up in recent years. But it probably costs less on the average to be; hospitalized in Nebraska than! most other states. In 1950, figures show, the av erage cost per patient per day .in Nebraska hospitals was $11.72. Last year the amount was $17.20. The national average was $22.50 last year. Only eight states have averages lower than in Nebraska. Generally, hospitals in Lin coln, Scottsbluff and Hastings, are in the same cost category, with Omaha the highest. But of ficials said bigger hospitals are faced with higher operating costs because they provide patients with more service and staff as sistance. The Nebraska cost was com puted on the basis of figures from 123 of the state’s hospitals.
