In the past decade there have bef n several attempt.? to realign legislative districts to equalize the number of citizens repre sented by one lawmaker.

The biggest prob lem is in Lincoln and Omaha. There has been reluctance in the past on the part of senators to realign districts at all and even more when it corner to giving more representation to Douglas and Lancaster counties. Several members of the Om aha delegation state they are considering filing a .suit in fed eral court to force legislative re districting. The contemplated action would be based on the ruling by the U. S. Supreme court that voters may go to fed eral court to correct unfair ap portionment of legislators. The Nebraska Legislature has not been reapportioned since it was created in 1937. Under the present Constitution, the Leg islature could increase its mem bership to 50 from the current total of 43. Redisricting, however, is not mandatory and the only restric tion, besides a limit of 50 in the Constitution, is that redisrict ing could not occur oftener than o.ice every 10 years. One of the big stumbling blocks in past years not now present was a limit on the gross amount that could be paid the senators, which meant their salaries would be reduced from the $872 per year if extra sena tors were added. They now get paid $200 per month. Recreation Several lakes in Nebraska are "practically naked," Gov. Frank Morrison said, referring to the lack of recreational facilities surrounding the bodies of wa ter. Morrison gave his views at a discussion with members of the Nebraska Parks and Recreation As-ociation. He referred to lakes in south west Nebraska, specifically Har lan Reservior, Swanson Res ervoir, Harry D. Strunk Res ervoir, Enders Reservoir and the Willow Creek area. Morrison said that the rapidly expanding population and the shorter work week increase the need for more recreational facilities and added that these activities are needed XJcdbclv oamuL Let us restore your watch to accurate service, re pair or restyle your jew elry.

"Industries do not want to set tle in areas that do not have adequate recreational facilities," the governor added. Attending the conference was Robert Dula of Lincoln, recrea tion director at the Lincoln Air Force Base. Dula said Nebraska may need to appoint a state re creation consultant similar to consultants presently employed by the states of Kansas and Iowa. He said that lack of funds in Nebraska for recreational pur poses is a problem. Morrison reported that a much-publicized bus tour he and others made in Nebraska last year resulted in thousands of Nebraskans spending their vacations in their home state. Road Building An Omaha senator criticized the Advisory State Highway Commission for what he called fear by the Commission of build ing new roads in the past few years. The statement was made by Michael Rusillo of Omaha who appeared at a Commission hear ing on a road in Western Ne braska. Russillo said a hard surface road west from Arthur through Arthur and Garden counties would facilitate getting western cattle to the Omaha market. But J. R. McBride of Minden, Commission chairman, challeng ed Russillo's statement on com mission policy. McBride said he is opposed to adding any new roads to the State Highway System while there still are existing roads that need improvement and maintenance. The chairman said he feels that every senator should con sider before he takes action that there now are requests for $1,400 miles of new highwav to be add ed to the state system. Commissioner Mene Kings bury of Ponca backed McBride and said that there are about 500 miles of proposed new high way in the state that have at least the same merit as the 50-70 miles in Arthur and Garden counties. Kingsbury said he favored the legislators joining with the com mission to form a study com mittee on the general highway problems of the state, this sum mer or fall. New Bank The State Banking Depart ment has received a request for a new state bank in Blair. State Banking Director Ralph MLsko says a survey will be made of the Blair area and a public hearing held before any decision is made. This decision, he said, probably will not come before two months. Two banking charters have been granted so far this year by the department for new establishments in Ogallala and Omaha. It has been the policy of the department since Misko has been director, to hold public hearings on all requests for new financial institutions.
