The U.S. Corps 01 Engineers has awarded four architectural engineering firms contracts to survey areas of the state for po- lenuai rauout shelters Three contracts went to Oma ha firms for a shelter survey in Douglas county.

Livestock Taxing Nebraska's new law on reci procal taxing of livestock was effective for the first time Jan. 1 of this year. Atty. Gen. Clarence Meyer says all livestock owned on Jan. 1, 1961. must be paid In full. The opinion was given at the request of State Tax Commis sioner Forrest Johnson. The new law was passed by the 1961 Leg islature and is designed to grant tax immunity to local livestock for that part of the year in which they are grazed in some other state having a similar re ciproal taxing law. Such legislation stops a live stock owner from paying taxes twice on the same cattle. Motor Vehicle Levy The problem of who should pay taxes on an automobile own ed by a dealer Jan. 1 has gone before the State Supreme Court. A friendly test case was brought by Atty. Gen. Clarence Meyer to try the Constitutional ity of a 1961 law designed to give a tax break to automobile deal- LOANS For Yecr-end Bills 9 For Winter Expenses o For Any Purpose Seasonal repayment plan for far men Loans Made in Near-by Towns American Loan 530 Main St. Phone: 3213 1962 Motor Vehicle Licenses WILL BE AVAILABLE at the County Treasurer's Office on and after January 2, 1962.

Under the law, an auto dealer reports for taxes ths vehicles he has on hand on the Jan. 1 asses sment date, but may deduct from the list and receive tax credit for any of the vehicles he sells before July 1. Meyer instituted the legal pro ceedings at the request of Gov. Frajik Morrison who said he had grave doubts about the Constitu tionality 0f the legislation.

Board of Control Nebraska has a new system for managing state institutions and public welfare for the first time in 41 years. Abolished this week was the Board of Control, composed of three members, appointed by the governor for six-year terms to supervise state institutions and the public welfare program. The board was replaced by a director of state institutions, George Morris, and director of public welfare, Frank Woods. The two men function as sep arate departments of govern ment, answerable directly to the governor. Under the Board of Control system, once he named the membership, the governor had no more legal control over the board. Morris will have one of the most powerful positions in state government. Working directly under the governor he will supervise in stitutions employing more than 3,500 persons and housing nearly 10,000 patients and inmates. Gov. Frank Morrison says he wants Morris to help develop Nebraska's institutional setup so that it Is a model for the rest of the country. Banking Deputy William R. Slagle has been named by State Banking Direc tor Ralph Misko as the new de puty of the department. As such, Misko said, Slagle will supervise building and loan associations, credit unions and trust companies, succeeding Les Opper. Misko at first said that Opper, 73, was retiring after 22 years of state employment. But Opper said he had no intention of re-., tiring and was actually fired. - In his original announcement, Misko praised the years of serv ice by Opper. Both Misko and Opper are Re publicans. After Opper's state ment that he was fired, Misko said he released Opper "because I thought it was better and mort TO CASS 1961, Jan. 4, 1962.
