The governor had asked the miscellaneous appropriat ions committee to introduce the bill, which it did unanimously. But when it got out on the floor, Chairman C. C. Lillibridge of Crete confessed. "The committee was as reluctant to introduce this bill as you are to pass it." His colleagues got a big laugh when th embarrassed Dr. Lillir bridge told them that since they haau't appeared at the hearing to oppose the bill, "we thought you wanted it."

First to go was the re-enactment of the one cent a gallon gasoline tax increase approved by the 1949 legislature but re pealed in the referendum. The vote was 24 to 17 on Sen. O. H. J bills really alive: motion to Kin tne L. B. 425 But last week Carmody de nied his reason was personal. He said he reserved the right to change his mind and he now believes "we'll never get all the roads the people want. Goodness knows taxes are high enough now." Proh s name originally ap peared as co-introducer on L. B. 2. After the defeat of the gas tax proposal, he asked permis sion to withdraw as a snonsor of the commission bill. Tit for tat. Carson, meanwhile, withdrew as an introducer of the gas tax hike and voted with Carmody to kill it. ONLY TWO That left only two highway One of the first stones to be used as a decoration was the carnelian. People of ancient times believed the reddish quartz protected its wearer from weap ons and evil spirits. A Classified Ad in The Journ nal costs as little as 35c. Person's measure. Then the death warrant was signed for L. B. 2, the highway proposal. Senators who had been voting for its advancement to "appease" the Farm Council and other groups which have opposed highway revenue bills, immediately turned against the commission bill when the gas tax hike failed. Sen. C. C. Lillibridge of Crete moved to strike the enacting clause from L. B. 2. thus strangling it. Sen. Arthur Car mody, sponsor of the bill pro tested that if "it was a good bill yesterday, it s still a good bill today and he chided the ap peasers." Ullibridge's motion failed. 22 to 16, but the constitution to create a new administrative of fice, requires a two-thirds ma jority, or 29 votes. Carmody doubts he can muster more than 24. :-. BREAKUP , One of the most interesting angles of the action-packed highway battle was the breakup of the sponsorship of the bills. The gas tax bill, L. B. 122. originally bore the names of Sens. Otto Prohs of Gering, Ar thur Carmody of Trenton and Hugh Carson of Ord. When the bill first came up for floor discussion. Carmody asked that his name be with drawn and gave no reason Prohs said. "I think it was for personal reasons." Sen. William Hern of Chadron took Car mody's place as an introducer. which increases penalties for overloading and sets the "tolerance' at five per cent, passed its first floor test with only token opposition. L. B. 520. which stiffens the registration fees on trucks was aired at a public hearing at week's end. Legislators had the eerie feeling they had been there before. The farm groups, the petroleum industry and the mo tor carriers hauled out again the arguments they've been using ! through two legislative sessions ! and a political campaign. And : the Better Nebraska Association, i formed to promote the gover-; nor's road program presented its venerable debate. The revenue committee which ; heard the arguments before a : crowd which so overflowed the j hearing-room that the meeting! was shifted to the legislative chamber, delayed action on the bill. The ton-mile tax bill was i still in committee, where it i seemed likely to stay. ' 1 SLAM! j The legislature slammed the "back door" on Gov. Val Peter- I son last week when, in the view j of many senators, he tried to use the rear entrance to gain immediate pay raises for his department heads by naming them to "a state board of ad ministrative policy and person nel" and paying them a hun dred dollars a month more for their trouble. The state constitution prohib its raises of tener than once every eight years which means that ! five of the seven persons sug- bus said legislators, "just sitting around here in the chamber" had work ed out a complex amendment to the county officials salary bill which reclassified the counties and prescribed the pay of their ofticials. Chairman Karl Vogel of the government committee bellowed his rage. He complained that his group had spent two months working out a bill, only to have it scrapped without discussion in favor of the Lusienski pro posal. The Columbus senator, who conceded his suggestions had been worked out with the help of the Nebraska County Offi cials Association, denied the new classifications were a device to circumvent constitutional bans against pay raises during an of ficial's term of office. He said the idea was to reduce the spread in size of counties of the same class. this fall, the tunnel will elimi nate the road's worst bottleneck and permit double-track opera tion of UP's entire Omaha-Salt j Lake C'fv main line. There's already one Aspen tunnel, a single-tracked, 5,941 foot bore completed nearly half a century ago, in 1901. But the old facility isn't enough. All trains on the 1.-026-mile main-line, whether streamliners or fast-manifest freights, must be slowed and sent through Aspen by control stations at the end, working on a priority basis. A crew of more than 150 men has been on the job for two years, removing 187,000 cubic yards of sandstone and shale as they dig the 6,700-foot tun nel, 759 feet longer than the old one. More than 53,000 cubic yards of concrete, reinforced with 5,- 000 tons of 'steel, .are going into tne tunnel as linine. nut in place The legislature gave its okay j by crews working atop an mtn to the Lusienski amendment tate track-mounted form.

Palmer, Omaha. Ne braska, chairman of the Oil In dustry Information Committee. Palmer based his information upon a joint report of the Amer ican Petroleum Institute and the American Gas Association. The joint report, which cov ers discoveries, revisions of pre vious estimates and extension of known pools during the' 12 month period ending December 31, 1950, was compiled by spe cial reserves committees of both trade associations during their annual meeting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, recently. Total new supplies of crude oil and natural gas liquids devel oped in Nebraska in 1950 amounted to an estimated 9. 606,000 barrels. With total pro auction oi liquid hydrocarbons estimated at l,33Z.ooo barrels. this produced a net increase of 8.274.000 barrels in known proved reserves. Proved reserves of liquid hy drocarbons at the close of 1950 therefore was estimated at 9. 935,000 barrels an all time high for Nebraska. As of December 31, 1949, proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids in this state were 1,661,000 barrels. Proved reserves of natural eas in Nebraska were estimated at 44,106 millions of cubic feet at the close of 1950. This is a net increase of 36.043 millions of cudic ieet. Production of natural eas was estimated at 1,058 millions of cubic feet in 1950. The proved reserves of liauid hydrocarbons and natural gas referred to in the joint report appiy oruy to tnose reserves whose locations and extent have been proved and measured. They do not include anv estimate of oil or eas which may underlie the vast untested acreae which III U W1rffe .. a MS ! Everything is NEW for 0 Ids mob ile's Revolutionary NEW "Rocket Ride"!
