Pheasant Season in State Has Grown 24-fold in 35 Years Sports Pheasant Season T H LINCOLN Nebraska's 72-day pheasant season beginning Nov 4 is a far cry from 35 years ago, when the state's first hunt on the wary and multi-colored ringneck was authorized. That first season in 1927 was a three day affair, and In only two counties. This year's hunters have all of Nebraska in which to hunt pheasants. In the major portion of the state, they have a daily bag limit of 4 cocks and a pos session of 16. Limits in the smaller zone, north-central Ne braska, are 2 and 8. Pheasants have ancestry dat ing back at least to 1915 in Ne braska, the first year they were released here. For a 10-year period small numbers were planted annually. The birds took hold and the first hunt followed in 1927. Nebraska's 1961 hunter has a miscellany of other major game State Legislative Session Cost $2,281 Per By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN Final figures show the 1961 session of the Legisla ture cost Nebraska taxpayers $2,281 for each of the 126 days it was in operation. Total cost of the session, a rec ord in length but not in bills in troduced, was $287,485, accord ing to Clerk Hugo Srb. Srb ear lier had estimated the figure at $255,000. The daily bill compared with $2,014 for the 1959 Unicameral which held the previous record for length. Higher salaries of members and the length of the session were the primary reasons for the boost in cost, Srb said. Among the major expenses were salary of senators $55,290, pay for em ployes $117,044, bill drafting $27, 878, printing $56,702, and postage $12,900. Thus, compared with 1959, the pay of the senators climbed $16, 960, paychecks for employes were up $15,323 and printing costs increased $8,185. In order to view in perspective the record total cost of Unicam eral, it is necessary to compare it with the tab on the last session -;Of the two-house Legislature. It took 22 years for the cost of the Unicameral system to equal the $202,593 spent on the last meeting of the bi-cameral in 1935. Industry Suit The constitutionality of the In dustrial D e v e 1 o pment Act known as IDA, will be tested in the State Supreme Court. Gov. Frank Morrison directed Atty. Gen. Clarence Meyer to file an original action with the high court. The court's ruling will decide wnetner Lancaster County can issue $3 million in revenue bonds for the purpose of construction and acquisition of a plant facility near Lincoln. Gov. Morrison said investment banking firms will not approve a bond issue until the legality of such a law has been determined by the State Supreme Court. The law, passed by the 1961 Legislature, is aimed at attract ing new industry to Nebraska by permitting local governments to buy or lease land for industrial development. Agricultural Research There is a growing acceptance of the idea of agricultural re search, says State Agricultural Director Pearle Finigan. Finigan said the day is coming soon when Nebraska will no longer have to stand alone as the sponsor of agricultural utiliza tion research products. The director commented on a resolution passed by a regional conference of the Council of State Governments. The Council recognized the need for agricultural research and urged its standing commit tee on midwestern agriculture to study the advisability of the mid western states joining in an agri cultural research program. The standing committee was asked to study the activities of the Agricultural Products Utili zation Association, Inc., an inter state group of which Nebraska is already a member. Kearney School The State's Boy's Training School at Kearney had 42 per cent fewer escapes in the past year under Sunt. William- Et tinger, the institution's annual report showed. ; There has been criticism in the past of escapes from the institu-; tion, a minimum custody one. From June 30, 1960 to June 30 1961, the report said, the number ! of boys on parole Increased from 166 to 195 but the number of those reluming after having been released from the institu tion climbed six per cent. j Expansion of the school's pa- species on his calendar: 44 days for quail, 24 prairie chicken and sharp-tailed grouse, 365 for cottontails, 40 for ducks, 60 for geese, 137 for squirrels, 5 for deer rifleman, 101 for deer bow men, and 3 for antelope. The number of permits for all species is unlimited with the ex ception of the rifle seasons on deer and antelope. Hunting for nil upland game birds and small game animals begins daily at sunrise and ends at sunset. Waterfowl hunting is also sunrise to sunset, except on the opening clay when it com mences at noon. On the following pages are all of the hunting seasons, except ing big game. Printed copies of the complete regulations, entitl ed 1961 Guide to NEBRASKA land Hunting, are expected to be available next week. They will be sent to all permit ven dors for free distribution to Ne braska sportsmen. Day role officer staff to three persons has been authorized by the Board of Control. Ettinger liists main needs of the school as a swimming pool and a new ad ministration building. Mail Routes Many opinions have been asked of the attorney general in past years about whether mail route money and materials could be used on regular county roads. But the latest was whether ma terials purchased with county road funds could be used on mail routes. Atty. Gen. Clarence Meyer said if the county board author izes use of the material on mail route roads, this is permissible since the mail routes are a part of the county road network. Counties receive an ear marked portion of state gasoline tax collections for use on rural mail routes. Mobile Hospitals The state will soon have 3,200 beds for emergency hospitals for use in time of natural disaster or enemy attack positioned in vari ous locations in the state. Deputy State Civil Defense Di rector Austin Bacon said the beds are part of mobile hospi tals, now located at Blair, Fre- WHERE SERVICE IS ALWAYS 1 Jt iT i 1 ' - I 1 7 M I I LLJ. i . , -lJ J That's Right!
