LINCOLN The Census Bureau
has reported what many Nebras
kans arlready know—there are
less farms and they are brgger.
The bureau said in 1969 Nebras
ka had 90,475 farms, compared
with the 1954 total of 100,846
Additionally, the bureau report
ed the average size at the farms
in 1959 was 5Z7 acres as against
470 acres five years ear her And,
as expected, the farms were
worth more.
The average value per farm
in 1969 was $47,804 as against
$34,494 in 1954
Farms, the plight of them and
what can be done to help the til
lers of the soil who man the
state's biggest business—agricul
ture—have been the subject of
much talk this year
Agricul tare is one of the key
talking points for public office
seekers at the national and even
at the statehouse levels
The over-balance of agriculture
in Nebraska has been the subject
at state and legislative concern
for more than a decade It caused
creation at the State Resources
Divisiun.
This is an agency at state gov
ernment whose sole function is
to try to hire industry, and thus
payrolls, into the state to bal
ance the economy.
There is a Constitutional amend
ment on the Nov. 8 ballot to per
mit cities and counties to take
steps to try to make their locali
ties attractive to industry.
Both candidates for governor,
Republican John Cooper of K.im
boldt and Democrat Frank Mor
rison of Lincoln, are plugging in
dustry in Nebraska.
It is expected this economy bal
ancing idea will be continued In
the next decade.
Rood Building
The State Highway Department
plans a lot of road building in the
next two years. It reckons that
there will be $110 million worth
of new construction, of which $71
million would come from the fed- ,
eral government and the remain
der from cash receipts such as i
the levy on gasoline and license I
fees.
How the money will be spent
and where will be decided later .
this ffell iby the Advisory State
Highway Commission. The com
mission now is holding area meet
ings getting sentiment of citizens
on road needs.
But the final determination will
be made on the basis of the de
partment's sy tern for rating
roads to determine which got pri
ority.
Overall, the highway depart
ment expects to spend nearly
$143 million the next two years,
including administrative costs,
road maintenance and operation
of truck weighing stations.
This would compare with about
$137 million for the past two
years.
Budget Requests
Gov. Dwight Barney has issued
a directive to state department
heads regarding state _ spending.
Burney says if they want to low
er budget requests for the next
two years they should note why
such cuts cannot be made now.
Ail the major department
heads are Democrats Burney is
a Republican He is classified as
a conservative and an advocate
of the same type of policy in
spending.
One of his favorite subjects is
the state sales tax. He says he
isn't going to change his regard
for that type of taxation just be
cause he is governor Nebraska's
property tax system is a "definite
deterrent to attracting new in
dustry to the state," he said.
.Swimming Pools
The State Board of Health is
going to the 1961 Legislature with
the problem of swimming pools
that don't meet health standards.
The board directed T. A. Filipi,
state sanitation engineer, to draw
up proposed legislation. Filipi
said in some cases four years
or more af urging have failed to
bring desired improvements to
some pools.
To be sojght will be authority
to close pools that do not comply
wi£h health department regula
tion.
Inspections show, Filipi said,
only 48 per cent of the pools car
ry the proper amount of chlorine.
Meanwhile, the board asked for
a 47 per cent boost in state tax
funds for the next two years,
covering just about all phases of
work by the health department.
The Board, whose members are
appointed, sets policy and this
is carried out by the State De
partment of Health.
I-amis And Funds
|rPVi.i rwnii />Kn iem an , fVi/> nln
Board of Educational Lands and
Funds is Harry Garber of Imper
ial.
Garber, besides presiding over
monthly board meetings, will lead
its annual tour of state-owned
school land which is leased. The
board will meet with lease hold
in's and other interested groups
Oct. 11 at Broken Bow and Oct.
12 at Valentine.
The board is expected to em
phasize stepped up soil and water
conservation development on the
state land.
