Many city official and employes aree with Lincoln
Police Chief George tlansen that the County-City EUg.
has structural problems." '
The disagreement centers upon the proposed solution
to those problems, especially regarding the jail situation,
Hansen said the only solution would be a new building.
Compared with other jails; his rating of the Lincoln jail
cn a one to 1 0 scale would be about a two."
A jail committee appointed by the mayor and the Lan
caster County Beard has recommended another building
be used in conjunction with the County-City Eldg. jail.
Te didn't recommend complete abandonment but
suested the jail be used for short-term holding," said
committee chairwoman Elaine Carpenter. The committee
suggested another building be used for Jong-term prisoner
confinement.
A building commission appointed to study the County--City
Eldg. space problems recommends more space be
given to the police department within the existing build
ings. Cbrnmission chairwoman Annette Rlarquez said this
could be done by moving an adjoining office from the
County-City Kdg. -
Marquez said the commission realizes the jail's pro
blems, but doesn't think the city can afford a new. jail
building. She sail if the jail were moved from the bugling
this space could be used only for storage.
Marquez sail the jail was designed for 43 hour confine
ment. Hansen said some prisoners are kept in jail for as
long as nine months. He said the 130-person capacity jail
now holds about 1 00 prisoners.
Hansen said the jail has no exercise area nor any natur
allight. IfeerTentHatian
Calling the air ventilation poor, he saM the only way
to dear the smoke after an inmate sets a mattress on fire
is to blow the smoke out the front office with big ex
haust fans. "
Hansen said another problem is that people visiting the
accessible records bureau on first floor after business
hours must take the elevator used to transport prisoners.
Mayor Helen Boo sails said juvenile confinement is a
problem because juveniles must be kept separate from
adult prisoners. The jail wasn't designed for separate
confinement areas. "
Doo sails suggested improvements should be made at
the County-City DIdg. which she said is about 7 years
Old. v . . . " .. .
Marquez said some offices have been moved from the
building because of office expansions and the creation of
new departments. ,

She predicted that the building will house only lawyers
and judges in 10 years. Extcnsnre remodeling of the
building is planned to help the space problems, Marquez
said.
The space allocation study found more space is needed
now than was orginaHy planned when the building was
constructed, Marquez said.. -
Agreeing that some space reassignment is needed,
Coosalis said the extent isn't known and she "is not con
vinced that all the anticipated needs will be realized."
She said she hasn't accepted the projected claims
about the building's future because she hasn't seen ev
2ence to warrant those claims.
Doosalis said the city is housing some offices in part of
the Federal Edg., formerly used as a post office on O St.
between 9th and ICth streets.
She said this also is the proposed site for a performing
arts center.

Legislation cresting a check-off program to support
construction of a grain alcohol plant in Nebraska is likely
to be introduced in the next session of the Nebraska
Legislature, according to Vwiam ScheEer, UNL Chemical
Engineering Dept. chairman. .
The alcohol would be used for gasohel, a mixture of
90 per cent gasoline and 10 per cent grain alcohol. If
legislation is passed early in January 1977, then it is
possible that a grain alcohol plant could be operating in
1979, Scheiler said. No site has been designated for the
proposed plant.

The check-off program was discussed at an Oct. 6
Gasohol Committee meeting. Proposed in September by
Eellwood Sen. Loran- Schmit, the Unicameral's Agri
cultural Committee chairmanTthe check-off plan calls for
a levy of about two cents a bushel on grain sold in the
state. The levy would apply only to the first sale of the
grain, for instance, when a farmer sells grain to an
elevator. In that respect, it would Jje similar to current
programs in Nebraska involving soybeans and wheat.
Cut the gasohol check-off plan would differ in one
major point. It would be voluntary. Any person who
doesn't wish to participate could file for a refund, Scheiler
said.
SheHer is UNL's technical advisor to the Gasohol
Committee. The technical adviser position was required
when the committee was established by the Legislature
in 1971. The seven committee members are four farmers,
two businessmen and an oil company representative.
