Capitol News - Yard Work At Gov's Mansion No Easy Task By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN—If you think you have troubles trying to put your front yard in shape to get a stand of grass, consider Manuel Kahler. He has a 10-acre plot, plus the grounds of the governor’s mansion to look after. KahLer is the groundskeeper for the State Capitol and the man sion. “Concrete streets certainly added to the safety of our neighborhood!” Peace-of-mind goes with con crete pavement! Its grainy sur face assures safe, sure stops— gives you dependable skid re sistance—even in wet weather. It stays smooth and level, too. There are no potholes to cause dangerous swerves. You’re al ways in control of your car. And because clean-colored (•nnnrete reflects light four times more than any dark sur face, you can see and be seen far better at night —a real comfort, driving or walking. Yet with all this built-in safety, modern concrete offers moderate first-cost and continued low maintenance. Reasons enough to make it the preferred pavement for resi dential streets everywhere. Gel together with your neighborsl If your street needs pav ing, make your preference for concrete known. Con crete is the only pavement that can be accurately en gineered to- carry the ex pected traffic loads on your street and lasts 50 years and more. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION 720 City Notional Bank Bldg., Omaha, N.bra.ka A national organization to improve and extend the uses of concrete It ts not an easy job. Besides the lawn which requires weeding and fertilizing just li»a any home owner's from yard, there are many bushes and trees that need care. Kahier has had a lot of exper ience at the job. He came to Lin coln when the present structure was being built and was employed as a stone cutter an the Capitol, Crews from the State Penitentiary help when the weeds start getting away from Kahier. However, the genial groundskeeper's assessment of when weeds are a menace would vary considerably from the average householder who begins to worry when about a third of the lawn is producing a good c rop of dandelions Cutting of the king-size lawn is a considerable undertaking. In re cent years the state has acquired mowers upon which the operator can ride, cutting wear and tear on workers who formerly pushed the regular gasoline type cutters Road Damage Floods caused an estimated half million dollars damage to eastern Nebraska state highways. Acting State Engineer John Hos sack estimates it probably will take about two years to eliminate the flood damage. Biggest single item will be a bridge over the Niobrara river near Niobrara, estimated to cost around $400,000 John McMeektn, state maintenance engineer, figures it will cost about 100.000 to reroute mark, flag and make temporary repairs to grades, surfaces and bridge approaches, just to get traf fie moving again. The wet weather also is expected to slow speed of construction this spring. Brand Inspection A committee ci state senators studying a controversial subject— the catt’e brand area—has come up with an initial report. The committee, headed by Sen J W. Burbach of Crofton, probably will not recommend a change in the brand area. Cattle moved out of the area must be state inspected The committee’s report is the first completed of 16 similar com mittees studying other state prok lems. Reports will be submitted to the Legislative Council in November at which time content of them will be made public. Other com mittees still are conducting hear ings or in the process of making recoin mendations. On Guard Operation On Guard, Nebraska's flood preparation activity, was in effect 17 days in the statehouse. During that time, officials report, an est.mated 3.2OT man hours went i (o ‘he ; aeration Workers con sumed more than 900 cups of cof fee. About 20 officers and men manned the office in shifts of up to 25 con secutive hours. The operation began in the n tunda of the Capitol on the second ilow. then shifted to the civil de fense headquarters on the groanc level after heavy activity. Refunds Farmers got $695,136 in refunds in March of taxes they paid on gasoline used in agriculture, the State Treasurer's office says Staff members reported this was one of the largest monthly refund totals ever recorded by the office It was theorized that the reason for this was that farmers were handicapped with work by the long winter and took time out to fix up their accumulated claims for re funds. Flection Deadline* Secretary of Slate Frank Marsh says there still are some impor tant election deadlines before the May 10 primary election. Tin* secretary said April 25 i the deadline for political committees to file a report of their expenses and the final day for appointment of judges and clerks for the pri mary On April 36, Marsh said, will be the final day for announcement by the State Central Committee of both parties of the delegates al lotted to each county for state con ventions. April 29 is the deadline for vet er registration in Omaha and Lin coin and this same deadline is April 30 for cities from 7.000 to 40.000. Marsh added that April 30 is al so the first day county clerks will receive applications and deliver disabled voter ballots It is also the first day for publishing the sample ballot.
