THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY 'JOURNAL I' AUK KiUHT Thursday, Sept. 3, -Commission (ContiniH'd from PaRe 1) now county highway .superin tendent. Todd told him that the decis ion to hire Clark was made by nn unanimous action of the Hoard alter it had interviewed about a dozen applicants for the position. Law now requires that the rounty roads program aim funds be administered on a county wide basis under superivsion of a highway superintendent. The hitter, the law says, can be either an engineer, engineer ing consulting firm or an exper ienced road builder. Todd said Clark qualifies as a road builder. His salary ($0,0(10 a yean was the lowest of any proposed by an applicant, Todd said, the others langing from $8,000 to $'J7.000. One of the visitors asked if it would be cheaper for. the ,eounty to hire an engineering firm, in view of the fact that the county still has to hire such a firm to do engineering on fed eral matching projects. Todd said "no," that appli cants for the position who were engineers indicated that extra charge would be made for fed eral matching work, besides the salaries they proposed. In the afternoon, Bornemeier remarked that he was satisfied with the way Clark is admin istering the roads program. Todd agreed. Nolte made no comment at, that time. Bornemeier sam it was ex pected that there would be some problems with the shift from the former method of each Commis sioner supervising his own dis trict's work and supplying his own equipment and labor. About the Weeping Water East road, Todd said the Commission decided it would be better not to try to begin work on the project and possibly have the road in a torn-up condition, as long as there is no way of knowing when federal "funds will be avail able. The Commission was queried Tuesday morning about im provement of the Mynard Road. Todd said the Commission had decided in a majority decision that the project would be the very next in federal matching after the Weeping Water East road. He also said it was a majority decision that the work begin at Highway 50 and proceed east since there are mud roads at the west end of the road. He said that when those mud stretches are completed he doesn't care which parts are done next, that that would be up to Mr. Nolte. It had been asked whether the work could begin at Mynard and go west. Nolte said he wanted to start at Mynard. The Commission is in process of acquiring right-of-way for the Mynard road project. At one point in the discussion Tuesday, a visitor remarked that he didn't see how the Commis sion gat anything done "the way you fight." His comment fol lowed an exchange between Nolte and Bornemeier. Todd commented that there certainly has been friction be tween the two men and that he was in the middle trying to keep the peace and having to make some decisions on his own be cause of it. The Commission meets again Sept. 15-16, the regular second meeting of the month. mwidock Mrs. Florence McDonald Phone 2292 Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stock had relatives from Illinois as their guests on Sunday.

If the resolution is passed after the hearing, a district would be formed, plans and specifications will be drawn, approval obtained from the State Dept. of Health and bids called for construction. According to the preliminary report, the lateral sewer would be 5,000 feet long, containing 3,900 feet of 8-inch pipe, 1,100 feet of extra-strength pipe and 14 manholes. Henningson, Durham and Richardson, the engineering con sultant, estimated the cost at $21,800. The sewer would be an aver age of 11 feet deep and 16 feet at its deepest points. Only two of the now existing properties on the sewer route could not be served with base ment drains if the sewer were installed as outlined. The estimated cost per front foot, if the total cost is assessed on a front foot basis as is cus tomary here, would be $2.21, ac cording to the engineering re port. This compares with $2.26 for Sewer District 14 construction completed last year and $3.95 for District 15 where a creek had to be spanned and a line run beneath paving at added expense. 'Basis Rate1 Needed For Participation In Soil 'Reserve' LINCOLN Farmers who wish to put cropland in the Soil Bank's 1900 Conservation Re s erve must ask the county Ag- i ricultural Stabilization and Con servation Committee to set a :basis annual rate per acre for the offered land. In setting the basic annual per-acre rate for land offered, the county committee will take into consideration the produe.-! tivity of the land. The rate will be limited to the local fair rent-1 al value of the land based on the crops harvested from it dur-j ing the past five, years. When all the eligible crop -land on the farm is offered for the Conservation Reserve, the rate generally will be set 10 per cent higher than the rate for only part of the eligible land. After thr hnsle rnt.p han he determined, the farmer may ap-'n ply for a contract at any figure below the basic rate establish ed for the land offered in the request for rates. If necessary, a priority- system will be used to determine which offers are accepted. Contracts under the Conserv anon Keserve may run lor as long as 10 years. During the time of the contract, the .farmer will receive an annual rental payment on the reserved land for the life of the contract and he will also receive cost-sharing help in establishing an approv ed conservation practice. ; The basic per acre rate of payment under the 1900 Conser vation Reserve in Nebraska is S12.50, the same as under the 1959 program.
