’57 Session May Establish Records Adjournment Seen June 18-19 LINCOLN It appears the Ne braska legislature set a record for length, as well as bills intro duced. June 17 will be the 114 legisla tive day the previous record length set in 1955. Unless a way is found to speed up activity, most observers feel the senators will adjourn the 18th on 19th, A record number of bills have been introduced -- 614 — as com pared to the previous high of 595 offered in the 1953 session. Some observers speculate rea son for the length of the 1957 ses sion revolves around the numer ous attempts to revive bills killed on the floor or in the committees. Also, there have been an unusu sually large number of measures backed up for amendments during the various stages of legislation. The large number of reconsider ations may prompt a study of a possible rules change in the legis lature. Sen. George S>as of Oma says he is not happy with a cur rent rule which permits a senator who did not vote to move for re consideration of action on a mea sure. Such a rule, Syas said, "honors indecision". He believes parlia mentary proceedure should be that no reconsideration could be had unless a motion is made by a senator who was on the prevailing side of a question. There has been some dissatis faction with a change in commit tee alignments this session, also. The lawmakers decided to add a committee and cut the member ship on all such groups But, while some lawmakers ar gue this helped speed the session, others say it resulted in a Tot of postponed decisions because of the small number of senators who heard arguments at public hear ings. Often, only a bare majority of committee members listened to testimony. Some say this was part of the reason for so many moves to re consider committee actions by the senate as a whole. Interstate Highway— Nebraska's State Engineer, L. N. Ress said if congress adds 7.000 miles to the national interstate highway network, he may make a bid to add a north-south route across Nebraska. An amendment to the federal highway act has been approved by a senate public works sub committee to hike the total inter state mileage from 41,000 to 48,000. Ress said although possibility of a north-south route across Neb raska remains remote, such a connection from South Sioux City to an interstate connection lead ing to Wichita, Kans., could be justified. The engineer said it’s too early to speculate on the exact location of such a north-south route, but it probably would be in eastern Neb raska. Meanwhile, the first bids have I been taken on the Omaha-Lincoln j segment of the eastwest inter ! state route across Nebraska. The first project is a 6.4 mile long one, between a point south of j Gretna to a point east of Gretna. Apparent low bids for that work totaled some $2 million. More revenue for the highway department has been approved by the legislature and the bill sigsed by Gov. Victor Anderson. That bill woud hike the state gasoline tax from six to seven cents per gallon. Estimated rev enue from the added cent is about $5 million per year. Of that total, three-fourths would go to the highway department, and the re mainder to counties. The possibility of a referen dum drive to repeal the bill is be ing considered among opponents of the increased highway revenue. The highway department’s share would go to match increas ed amounts of federal funds, with money to go first for the regular road work, and then for the inter state. j Building Levy— I The legislature has decided to continue the state institutional building levy lor another 10 years, but at a considerably lower rate. The present levy is $1.10 for each $1,000 worth of property. As approved by the legislature, the new levy would be 75 cents per $1,000 Senators decided to distribute the money to the various spending agencies on a formula basis, and would not agree to a suggestion of the governor, calling for a committee to supervise spending of the funds. The governor had wanted to cut the levy to 50 cents per $1,000, but the senators refused to go along with the proposal. A proposal to cut the levy to 50 cents, made on the floor, was turned down by a decisive margin However, the lawmakers ap proved an amendment by Sen. Terry Carpenter of Seottsbluff giving the governor veto power over proposed building plans of state agencies. During the next 10 years, the University of Nebraska would get $9.9 million from the levy, the state normal schools $4.4 million, the board of control $4.4 million, the state capitoi building fund $2.2 million, the Milford Trade School $665,000. and the military depart fent $443,000 Help U to Meet with Mrs. Faulhaber VENUS—The Help U club met with Mrs. Gerald Waring Wed nesday, June 5.
