Statehouse Correspondent 1 The Nebraska Press Association j LINCOLN State Highway Engineer Roy Cochran wants to make his staff economy-minded I and wants to get the maximum ! value out of the highway dollar. Cochran, who was the last De I mocratic governor prior to Gov I ernor Ralph Brooks and before f that was state engineer, said he j is considering the possibility of lowering construction standards on some rural state roads, j The obvious reason for consld i ering such a move, the state engineer said, "is to get dustless surfacing a little faster." By lowering standards, Coch ran explained, what he had In mind was to reduce the thick ness of bituminous surface and reduce the base stabilization un der the surface. Such construction would not be widespread, he said. It would apply only to areas where traf fic volumes are low and where soil conditions permit. Standards would remain at present high levels on all major highways carrying heavy traffic and on the interstate Highway. The most logical places for the thinner blacktop, Cochran said, would be In such places as the sparsely-settled areas of wes tern, central and northwestern Nebraska or state spurs to small villages. The state engineer has also ordered closer supervision by division engineers of construct ion projects. At a recent meeting in Lincoln he laid squarely in the laps of the eight division engineers the responsibility of construction in their own districts. He said this merely was de fining responsibility of the div ision engineers which had not been clear-cut in the past. Cochran, with the echoes of demands for an investigation of the highway department still lingering from the 1959 Legisla ture, also announced he has been, and will continue to con duct his own study of the de partment. Two things already have re sulted from his study. The first is the definition of the responsibility of the division engineers. Second is expansion of the right-of-way section into a full fledged division In the depart ment. W. H. Mengel, a long-time de partment employe, has been promoted as chief of the new division. Cochran explained the oper ations were expanded because right-of-way work has assum ed "tremendous importance be cause of the volume of business and the money involved." This especially is true because of the Interstate Highway where new right-of-way must be pur chased all the way across the state.

Conservation Rural Nebraska is setting the pace across the nation in land conservation. Warren Fairchild, secretary to the State Water and Soil Con servation Committee, said that for many years Nebraska has led the nation in the applica tion of land terracing. Each year landowners in this state do some 20 to 25 per cent of the land terracing done in the entire nation. About 9,000 to 10,000 miles of terraces are erected each year. Although Nebraska is setting the pace, Fairchild said the job still is sadly lacking from being completed. In fact, conservation is moving at a snail's pace. The conservation expert said it has been estimated that it will take at least 100 years to com pletely treat all the land in Ne braska if the present pace con tinues. Watershed work is slower yet. Completion of the first water shed was dedicated Wednesday (July 29). Three other water sheds are nearing completion and only seven others have been authorized for construction. The Dry Creek Watershed in Red Willow and Frontier coun ties was dedicated this week as the first completed. The other three pilot water sheds nearing completion are the Salt-Swedeburg in Lancas ter and Saunders counties; the Brownell Watershed in Otoe county and the Indian Creek Watershed in Gage county.
