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.
