’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
