Peaceful nuclear device to test gas extraction at Nevada site
The Atomic Energy Commission plans the Miniata test at the Nevada Test Site in early June, aiming to fracture sandstone to release trapped natural gas. The 9 inch by 30 foot device should emit minimal radioactivity, with next year’s production shots possible if successful. Tritium release will be kept far below prior explosive standards.

Lack Of Funds Stand In Way Of 16th Avenue Repairs
A petition signed by over 150 residents asks Sterling Township and the city of Sterling along with Whiteside County to repair the deplorable 16th Avenue road bed from the 2200 block north to Science Ridge Road. The main hurdles are funds and who is responsible, with Gene Broderick noting the township’s gravel tax was defeated last April and urging voters to renew it. Crews are grading mud holes and laying crushed rock while awaiting funding decisions and potential annexation to shift responsibility.

Johnson Library costs far exceed earlier estimates
The Lyndon Baines Johnson Library will cost the federal government more than $850,000 annually to operate, far above the $190,000 Congress was told in 1965. The eight story complex on the University of Texas campus, built under a single contract for 18.6 million, is partly funded by a $2.6 million Education grant and $270,000 in GSA funds, with no federal funds used for construction. The General Services Administration will assume operations, while the National Archives handles 31 million documents and 500,000 photographs from Johnson's presidency, amid ongoing archival work and rising inflation.
