King Size Problems
Building Super Road
LINCOLN — The problems of
building a road, especially in a
new location, are king-size and
do not stop with engineering mat
ters.
Take the interstate highway
which one day will span Nebras
ka, providing the state gets
enough money to match the fed
eral funds available for the pro
ject.
Engineering problems on build
ing the route to the high stand
ards required by the federal gov
ernment themselves are difficul*.
But even more troublesome is the
route.
The four-lane super highway
will require considerable right
of-way, some of it across rich1
farmland and valuable city prop
erty.
That's the reason the route is
planned to cause the least in
convenience to the most people
and still keep the engineering
and cost problems in mind,
before it is announced.
One off-shoot of such a route
is the land speculator, who, if he
knew where the route was going,
could buy up chunks of land and
hold out for a high price.
Battle lines already have form- j
ed on the Nebraska interstate!
road, over the route and regula
tions imposed by the federal gov
ernment.
A group wants the highway to
run south of the Platte river in
stead of north. And petroleum |
and motel people don’t like the
government regulations forbid
ding any gasoline stations or mo
tels along the highway right-of
way.
Some-objections are that it will
be impossible to get onto the,
highway except every 10 mi'es j
or so.
But planner ssay this is a safe
ty feature, to cut down cross
ing accidents. Also, in time of
national emergency, the highway
will channel military vehicles to
all parts of the country.
State Engineer L. N. Ress was
one of the men who helped draft
the plans for the interstate high
way. He is a member of the Na
tional Association fo State High
way Officials.
That group not only partici
pated in drafting the design
and standards, but It violently
objected to some regulations
set up by congress which will
slow work on the route.
The regulations require a pub
lic hearing on any road going
around or through any city.
Ress said this means hearings
will have to be held all across
Nebraska on virtually every mile
of the interstate, further compli
cating the already difficult job.
The hearings undoubtedly will
be conducted by the advisory
state highway commission which
will have to handle such matters
regarding non-interstate projects.
This will throw a heavy work
load on the commission which in
the past has met only once
monthly. Ress said this may be
increased by six or eight times as
a result of the federal law,
* * •
Polio Check—
Figures compiled by the state
health department’s polio divi
sion show' why it is important
for 15 to 29-ycar-old persons to
get those Salk vaccine shots.
The division’s director, A1
Rouse, said persons in the 15-29
age group accounted for 41 per
cent of the first 62 polio cases
reported in Nebraska this year.
And, said Rouse, the dreadtd
bulbar polio struck more in the
older age group. There were
eight such cases among the first
62, with tlje age running from 16 1
to 47. The average age was 26.
Rouss said 65 percent of the
cases were non-paralytic, an
unusually high percentage.
Only five ot the 62 cases, be
said, involved persons who had |
been vaccinated within 30 days
Harney . . . weather instru
ment expert. (See Prairie Ora*
story.)—The Frontier Photo.
before they contracted the dis
ease and all five had a minor,
non-parlytic attack.
So far, Rouse said, 90 percent
of the children in Nebraska up to
14-years-old have been vaccinat
ed and 30 percent in the 15-19
age group.
School Land Mistakes—
Everyone makes mistakes some
time in a life span, and the state
of Nebraska is no exception.
State Education Commissioner
F. B. Decker said the state made
some costly errors in judgement
Ln its administration of stab -
owned school lands.
Decker recently sompleted a
study of the state’s school lands
and funds. This was done leading
up to his obtaining a doctor’s de
cree from the Unitversity of Na
jrsskd •
Sale of school land in five
:ounties brought the state a total
>f $388,687, Decker said. The
same unimproved land today is
kvorth about $12,746,500.
Decker’s study also showed
that returns from school land
noney, invested mainly in gov
ernment bonds, have not been as
lucrative as from land retained
ay the state.

Here Are The Facts: Unfortunately, it is not financially
possible for a firm to build a television station in this area

Once a re-broadcast station is erected, however, it can
be operated on an economically sound basis.
A Reliable TV Station has agreed to build and operate
! such a station—if the people of this area contribute to the
initial construction cost. $300,000 is needed.
