Average Wage of $3,990 Paid to
Public School Teachers in State
LINCOLN -Gov. Dwight Burney
quickly got over ;i case of the jit
ters upon abruptly becoming gov
ernor in September, and says he
likes the job.
Burney, who also is lieutenant
governor, was elevated to the
chief executive’s [>ost by the
death in September of Ralph G.
Brooks. The experience of asSjm
ing such big duties minutes after
Brooks’ death was unnerving to
Burney, even though he has had
years of governmental experience.
A Republican, Burney says he
was mainly concerned about a
good job.
The pressure of a backlog of
problems and work, resulting from
illness of Brooks, a Democrat,
took a toll on the 68-year-old
Burney for many days. But, he
got a grip on the office and be
gun to relax somewhat.
His daily recreation 'of playing
a game of solitare was interrupted
during the first hectic days of
his administration. But, he says,
he is back on schedule pretty
regularly.
One of the high points of his
term, which ends January 8, was
escorting of him to the special
session of the Legislature which
ended this week, by a group of
state senators. The senators
marched in a body to the gover
nor’s office to report the special
session—to boost pay of so Ions—
was open and ready for business.
Every Nebraskan, Burney said,
should see his governor escorted
to the legislative chambers. He
says it would renew confidence
in those who run state govern
ment and make its laws.
On January 3, Burney will open
the Legislature as lieutenant gov
ernor and presiding officer, then
return to his executive’s suite and
await another committee—to tell
him, as governor, that the regu
lar session is ready for business.
After January 8 Burney will walk
to the legislative chamber and
assume the job he was elected to
in November—lieutenant gover
nor.
Airport Spending
In the next four years, $8 million
should be spent on Nebraska air
ports. That's the report of the
State Aeronautics Department,
based on a survey taken by the
National Association of Aviation
Officials. The report will be sent
to Congress next year for plan
ning purposes.
More than $4 million worth of
improvements were listed as
needed in 1961. The needs are
those for 53 Nebraska cities. Of
the cost, $2.5 million would be in
federal funds, $750,000 from the
state government and $5 million
from local sources. Biggest im
provem nts wanted are at Lin
coln, followed by Omaha.
Resources
During the last year a poten
tial for 5,500 n:w jobs in Ne
braska was created by new plants
in the state or expensions of cur
rent ones. The State Resources
Division made that point in its
annual report to the governor. In
cooperation with the University of
Nebraska, the division noted it
carried out a program designed
to help individual cities assist
themselves through community
improvement programs. The pro
grams ranged from zoning of land
to the actual layout and planning
of streets and recreational areas.
The division also cooperated in
compiling listings on cities show
ing industrial assets to industries
planning to re-locate.

cent of all the school districts in
the United States.
The National Education Associa
tion says as of July 1 there -were
3,569 districts in Nebraska out of
the 37,153 in existence nationally.
An average salary of $3,990 is
paid public school teachers in the
state, as against $3,800 last year.
But, said the association, the state
is 12th from the bottom in the
amount of money it spends per
pupil in average daily attendance
in classrooms. This figure is $320
per pupil, compared with the high
of $585 in New York and Alaska
and the low of $223 in South Car
olina.
Scissors Renamed
Alvin Scissors has been tabbed
by Democratic Governor-elect
Frank Morrison to again head
the Motor Vehicle Department.
Scissors was named to the job
two years ago. A former news
paperman, he is a veteran of
World War II and Korea and for
mer Platte County Democratic
Party chairman. |
In a statement, Morrison said
Scissors had been a key person i
in the drive to cut highway deaths
the past two years. The $8,000 per
year job entails supervision of
licensing drivers in Nebraska.
