Cuts Studied Cavaness Says
TOPEKA senator Wilfrid Cavaness says state agencies must offer real justification for 1957 expenditures while noting potential savings from spending less. The Ways and Means Committee meets behind closed doors on upcoming appropriations as hearings with penal institutions and state schools proceed. He estimates near 180 million dollars in new revenue needed, contrasting Gov. Hall’s nine million figure and a likely revenue rise from existing taxes.

Request for Power by Nebraska Areas
Washington reports Congress likely will be asked again to appropriate funds for a heavy 230 kilovolt transmission line from Fort Randall Dam to Grand Island Nebraska. Nebraska power interests, aided by the congressional delegation, failed last year to secure about 10 million dollars for the 155 mile line. Instead Congress approved a smaller 75 mile 115 kilovolt line to Neligh, with Interior Department officials deeming that size justified. With winter halting construction, Sen Curtis says the effort to win the longer line will be renewed.
