The 52-mile stretch between Lincoln and Omaha now Is open. It cost $42.5 million to construct. There are 13 miles of two-lane interstate open, in the Kimball area. At present, 55 miles of the super highway are under con struction. Of the 55 miles, 5 are near Omaha, 18 near Lincoln and 32 west of Grand Island. State Engineer John Hossack noted that although the 4-lane highway open now connects Lin coln and Omaha the two cities are not the only ones to bene fit by the project. An 8-hour traffic study be tween Gretna and Dodge street in Omaha revealed cars from 29 different states and 56 Nebras ka counties used that portion of the super route, Hossack said. Drivers will have to get used to a set of new conditions on the Interstate. Trucks, truck tractors or freight carrying vehicles may not exceed 65 miles per hour. Automobiles can drive 75. Un less in case of weather or other emergency, all vehicles must drive at least 40 miles per hour. It is permissible to pass a ve hicle on either the right or left side since the highway is divid ed, with two lanes running each way, separated by a strip of land. Vehicles may not stop along the highway unless the vehicle is disabled or the driver ill and even then it may be towed away at the owner's expense. It is illegal to back a vehicle on the road or make a U turn. Lane changing must be preceded by 8 seconds of warning from turn signals, and be given for at least 500 feet before turning. Gov. Frank Morrison said the state could expect "tremendous growth of our industrial popu lation as a result of this road." State Fair Anyone dropping in to the State Fair Grounds in Lincoln nowadays will see someone rush ing from building to building and across the grounds and back. He resembles an athlete in training. The dasher is Ed Schultz, sec retary of the state fair board. While it is true his hustling here and there gets him into shape for the fair, he also is extremely busy at the same time. Schultz is supervising opera tions to put the grounds in tip top shape for the annual exposi tion which opens Sept. 2 and runs through Sept. 7. No exhibits will be removed from the fairgrounds until after midnight of the last day, Sch ultz says, so people can come to the fair on Thursday, the final day, and see anything that was there on opening day. The secretary says there is a strong demand for reserved seats for grandstand perform ances which impresses him. He says this is a good sign of the crowds to come at the annual event. Industrial space is sold out. Livestock space is going to be as heavily used as last year and perhaps a little more. If the trend continues, the secretary said, the fair is going to equal or surpass any previous 6-day exposition. Crews are busy readying the grounds to shoot again for a clean exposition. Through re cent years cleanliness of the grounds has been greatly evi dent. The Fair Board each year W. T. NEW LOCATION IN FORMER STIBAL BUILDING attempts to add to physical at tractiveness of the grounds for the thousands who will flock to the fair annually. Purchasing- Department The State Purchasing Depart ment is expected to be in the news more in the coming months. By law the department head, called the purchasing agent, has authority to buy all articles used by state agencies, except the University of Nebraska, the teachers colleges at Wayne, Chadron, Peru and Kearney and the Board of Control. The purchasing agent also sells surplus state property. In 1943 the Legislature direct ed that the purchasing agent be named by the governor, with approval of the Legislature. Pay was set at $3,000. Today, the agent gets $7,500 per year. In addition to buying about $15 million worth of goods year ly for state departments, the a gent supervises the statehouse central mail agency, where all mail is metered and dispatched. The current purchasing agent is George Morris, who headed a Republican movement in the last campaign for Democratic Gov. Frank Morrison. The purchasing department is not a separate division of gov ernment, but is a division of the state tax commissioner's office. By law the agent does not have to take bids on state purchases. Council Committees State senators who are mem bers of study committees for the next 18 months are beginning to go to work. They have a number of weigh ty state problems to look into before the next Legislature con venes in January of 1963. The normal procedure is for num erous public hearings to take testimony on an enigma. Then, this is sifted and the committees will go into huddles late in 1962 to begin drafting re ports to the next Unicameral. These reports will be discussed at a meeting of all the study committees in November of next year. Success of bills drafted after committee studies has been high.
